Singapore Cargo Problem
From Air Cargo News
SINGAPORE Airlines (SA) has offered its 300 cargo pilots up to 30 months’ unpaid leave due to the slump in air-freight demand.
“SIA Cargo needs to do all it can to contain costs,” said airline spokesman Stephen Forshaw.
The cargo unit made a loss of S$76 million (US$53 million) in the six months prior to September, compared with a S$19 million ($13 million) profit a year earlier. It operates 14 Boeing 747-400F freighters and uses capacity in its passenger aircraft bellyholds. Several of the freighters will be parked for at least the next three months.
Anyone got any specifics on this?

SIA Cargo was flying at rediclous low rates trying to bust and monopolise routes completely confusing and messing up certain sectors and the industry.
Its not a wonder that this has happened and I am not sorry, except for the personnel of course who are once again the victims.
You fly "too low" you going to crash!

Just wondering how you get the cost issue out front before the trial has even started? Cargo will get their day in court just like BA and the others who were accused of price fixing...or did it happen already? Innocent until proven guilty..

Sisyphos .... Sisyphus .... who really cares? Are you German btw? Perhaps YOU are the one who should concentrate on rolling your boulders uphill?
At least you 'appear' intelligent enough to have peeked at Cliff's Notes on the Illiad...
My comment was intended to be helpful and limit the "chaff". Best to keep the threads running in one track, wouldn't you agree?

You see, one of the above says," I'm a professional pilot, eager to help, discuss and contribute "
The other one says," I'm a self important **** "
For your information, the article I quoted was published on 5th January from Air Cargo News and the thread titles below, on the South Asia and the Far East forum, give no indication of duplicate information, especially after 5JAN.
SIA not renewing 70% Expat Contracts
SIA Cadet Pilot - All Batches, Merged
Using the search for "SIA Cargo" "SIA" or "Singapore Cargo"
brings up no hint of duplicating threads either SO...
... in future, please make the correct choice before you reply on a thread

HAVE A NICE DAY
