Chambudzi,
Well said bro,well said.Three quarters of the forum will back u to the hilt when u decide to give Cj and his '6 degrees south of stupid' IQ'd ninja turtle malay with british accent right hand man MillerC an arse whippin'......!!
The guy deserves a worse lashing than Cj for his anti-SIA sentiment and propoganda.Not that anyone in his/her right mind would believe a word of that put on 'queen's english' that he tries oh sooo desperately to imitate,but nevertheless.His frustration is so prominent and obvious.Exasperating and a wannabe is all I can say for this fool in pimp's clothing.....
'nuff said........

Principles
After seven months of medical leave, I'm returning to work in a week. I remain unapologetically and eternally grateful to my employer, who faithfully kept to the conditions of medical leave we're so lucky to be employed under.
Apart from the usual refresher-study of ops manuals, I thought I'd catch up on what's going on, or not going on. So I tried this thread. What an eye opener. Is this the morale I'm returning to? Are you guys with SQ/SQC?
If so, please allow me to gently encourage you to seek help, fast. Or risk wasting the first day of the rest of your life. Your choice. Times are tough, that much is true. And there are some who aren't able to deal with this at all.
For the passing, passive reader, don't let this thread deter you from higher objectives, whatever they may be. On that note, you might consider closing this thread and not revisiting it; standing up and leaving the computer; making a point of finding someone you are having trouble with, and share a laugh together.
In either case, have a great day, and good luck enjoying the rest of your life.

Thanks Flaperon. I am with you and as you say, so are most readers of this thread but our in house clown CJ refuses to come out from beneath his coconut shell to give us another little 'amok'. We are left here with his venal side kick Millerscourt who has nothing to complain about but punctuation.
I actually flew with Millerscourt once, fortunately only once and he can be perfectly described as "OVERLY AWARE OF HIS COMMAND'. He buzzed himself up to one of the higher rungs on the left seat so that he could see over the dash and ran a chilly cockpit.
Reserve the word petulant for yourself Millerscourt and since you are good at googling try out 'venal', it describes you to a T.

Welcome back and glad to hear you are on the mend.
Were you not the previous policeman on this web site. If you were surely you remember having to remove some of CARGOJOCKs vile. He has reigned over this website with his vitriol for 4 years since he joined SIA Cargo and no one has really taken him to task. He persitantly spews anti SIA, anti SIA Cargo, anti management, anti Singaporean, anti Chinese, anti mainline compatriot poison and has been unchecked. I am sick of his blatant racism and that is why this thread has deteriorated so much to its present depths.
His side kick Millerscourt has also been persistant in his unreasonably anti SIA rants. Despite at this late stage claiming to have no time for CARGOJOCKS postings he has never once opposed anything CARGOJOCK says here.
The new policeman of this site has kindly allowed this rather distasteful thread to run its course and it has probably reached its end as CARGOJOCK seems to have fled to the hills and Millerscourt has absolutely nothing worthwhile to say.

Hey Chambudzi...you and i have met! To reply to your CJ posts...This joker has been taken to task and some of his more vitriolic posts have been taken down, he still makes it past the mods once in a while though... I agree with you that he has taken a few posts way past the pionts where it contains any sort of information valuable to those who look...but it's a free world I'm afraid. Like you said earlier though, he will be caught out and when the time comes most likely will need to find new employment...didn't the spanish say that "Revenge is dish best served cold"... so tranquillo senor!
Cheers
and fly safe!

Back to the original posting . The figure of 70% of expat contracts not being renewed has been revised to almost 100% . The latest batch of expats to be shown the door have been told by SIA that until further notice almost 100% of the expat contracts coming up for renewal will not be extended. What is shameful is that this latest batch has only been informed with just 1 month left on their present contract. SIA has left to the last moment to give them the terrible news. What a disgraceful outfit !
If you are an expat in SIA your days are numbered !! Never mind what the locals have been posting here, the only true fact is that SIA has ceased to be a reliable employer for an expat . All the expats without exception should really think and determine what are their best options under the current circumstances.

jet grande - If SIA have given the pilots one months physical notice but three month pay then they have done nothing wrong, maybe you would like to check it out? Out of interest, do you or have you ever worked for SIA? (or were you rejected?).
Jet Grande - are we just not seeing rather ugly side of being a contract employee?? I have asked who has actually not had their contracts renewed and no names have been offered - just that rumour of none!! I may be a bit behind on the hot gossip, as I been on leave !! Anyone got any more facts?
Chambudzi - go for it with CJ!

Whale Oil Beef Hooked. Say as quickly as possible

Sums up my chances of being renewed here at SQ. Announcement today a further 11% capacity reduction. Going to park 17 aircraft (didn't specify which type (s)).

11% cut is not surprising but I'll wait until it's on paper
Question - any rumors or hints of a NPL or a no-obligation resignation deal coming for mainline that would mirror the cargo offer?

Fatbus, with todays announcment of 17 aircraft to be removed from active service this year, how many crews is this, 200 pilots? Will SQ overman to keep the gravey train on its rails?
So I believe you can increase the number of expats to be dismissed, from the 130 or so I mentioned before.
Will a local (or Malaysian) more likely to lose his job than an expat, if expat contracts carry punitive damages if cancelled?
The irony would be laying of the lowly Singaporean, and having to continue to pay the fat cat expats,

Don't raise your hopes...
The local (be he Malaysian or "the lowly Singaporean") and the expat carry the same "punitive damages" for premature departure. It is just the cost of the type conversion.
There are very few straws to clutch at; virtually none.
