Not in the SCMP...

I understand that the South China Morning Post has decided not to print an ad from the OneWorld alliance Pilot's association...

Can't upset one's masters can one....

Naturally, democracy at its best!

Btw, why wasn't there any mention of the ex-Swissair crew? Were they not treated improperly also? I guess the boys and girls at Speedbird and Japan Air are the only happy ones.

Mmmmm.... interesting to see that the Oneworld Cockpit Crew Coalition claims to represent JAL and "Swiss" pilots, although neither airline is a member of Oneworld.

The SCMP also seems somewhat remiss in not reporting the interesting revelations about what can only be called a lax interpretation of the National Insurance laws revealed during the court hearing in South Croydon.........:o

My roster is generally ok ty for your concern. Never did like working in an orifice and down under tax man disincentived me years and years ago. So if my cover is blown don't tell anyone ok, especially not the Riddler or Penguin - hate fish breath but love anchovies.

Shortly is obviously a carnivore since he doesn't like fish or the smell of it. Sit! Good dog.

SCMP can decide what they want to print. They don't publish it when they don't see fit with their corporate strategy. Isn't that democracy? Now, if he was forced by the AOA to print under duress, what do you call that?
