Hi, just to confirm the reptile is Singapore Python Link?

Postman_11 7th Apr 2008 11:05

Gents,

there are always two sides of the stories, I never believe there is a perfect
company with no politics either. Good or Bad, the road shows by GWA is
good. I'm satisfied for what they have to offer for now. Mr Green, have we met?? your english standards remind me of someone who used to work in TH.:D:D

JOB?
 
One have to be starving or out of his mind to ever think of joining a crap like this!:\

gengis 7th Apr 2008 18:41

No, let him go there. We warned those who were willing to listen, but it's not up to us to protect them from themselves.

Genghis2 8th Apr 2008 09:28

According to the figures stated, they are using the same spreadsheet presented to us three years ago.

And of course, our spywork told us Big F..... is there too.


I suggest that guys who are interested insists on a pre-medical in Shanghai. Come to Shanghai, get your Helicopter and Chinook ratings
and move on.:ok:

Postman_11 9th Apr 2008 11:09

Gents I sincerely apologised for my previous comments, I have heard from a mate in there that its bad... I had spoken with him last night. I think those who are joining better think twice before you sign the dotted line.. it is bloody bad. no hours, bad promises...I'm not going to get sucked in.

I would ask all who are considering to consider again....... If my mate says its bad...its bad... he is stuck in china and no where to run....

From the SQ grapevine,

Well, at least he can die with the famous great wall of China. Heard guys are falling physically ill due to extreme slavery conditions. Guys have sleepless nights worrying about their futures being 'slaved' to GWA. Never comprehend coolies of 21st centuries still exist.

rdr 9th Apr 2008 15:34

Anytime you have Singapore management, the tactic is to destroy the company slowly so their parent, SIA is not affected.
The survival of SQ is paramount.

gengis 9th Apr 2008 23:19

Postman, despite all that many of us had said - with the best of intentions - you still chose to disbelieve almost every single one of us, and said "there are always two sides of the stories, I never believe there is a perfect company with no politics either. Good or Bad, the road shows by GWA is good. I'm satisfied for what they have to offer for now."

It makes me feel that we have completely wasted our time.

Postman_11 10th Apr 2008 15:31

well this is a rumour network.... so??

gengis 11th Apr 2008 04:17

Postman, i strongly recommend that you go there. yes, this is a rumor network so by extension it can't be trusted even with 100% nays and 0% yeas.

Please do go to Great Wall - it is a perfect place.

Postman_11 11th Apr 2008 13:20

yes thank you, I will and if the **** goes down... dont worry I'll live with it
like a man and I wont B**** on the forum.:D

Alexander the Great 11th Apr 2008 13:50

i agree - you should try it out Postman. It's just right kind of place for you. Think your friend is just trying to keep you away from a good thing. Don't miss out

Genghis2 12th Apr 2008 03:14

We are just trying to tell the truth. There are many more stories that were not highlighted here. What has been said is only tip of the iceberg.

Of course, if you choose to join, you are most welcome by only the Singapore Python, and his playmate. No one will shake your hands. Not that we don't like you, but because we backstab on each other in Greatwall. They called it SIA culture X 4. There are fightings between groundstaffs to pilots. You never know who has diseases, as most guys go for the helicopters and chinook ratings...++

Last but not least, all of the non-rated pilots, that has not been through the Singapore system, have left the company to date.

You choose......if you want to know more stories...feel free to ask....

Sentinel X 12th Apr 2008 04:17

any idea where to get the chopper ratings? :D

crewplaykhan 12th Apr 2008 05:30

i heard most postmen cannot handle stress.. they might start shooting at the 16th floor.. if and when they breakdown..

fly744 12th Apr 2008 06:01

I believe GWA (Great Wall Air) is part of SQ (SING AIR) so that is why they need a release letter,isn`t it?

Ops.specs 12th Apr 2008 06:21

Postman 11 appears to fit nicely in the POS Plaza culture where lack of flying skills does not matter. Only need to suck up, volunteer to help prepare powerpoint slides and sacrifice family time for 'promised' quick promotion prospects.

He is likely to join the POSMEN club. He needs to be a snake charmer to survive, though.;)

crewplaykhan 12th Apr 2008 07:29

well, the posmen need the job and money.. for their previous company went belly up.. due ..what else..poor management !!:{

AOGWL is a God sent oppotunity..likewise the snake-plaza saw them (posmen ) as demi-god sent.. the knife cuts both ways..

i heard the skinless snake went rushing down to the fragance harbour to trap the Oasis pilots as soon as the snake-plaza heard the unfortunate news... catch them while they are still in shock..

Emperor ShiHuangTi 12th Apr 2008 10:05

Give Those Guys A Break!!!
 
I have been monitoring this forum with increasing interest.

For Ghengiz, Ghengiz 11. Akistar, CrewPlaykhan do not forget that there
are fellow pilots there who are trying to earn a decent living. Some had left established reputable airline to give it a shot for a little bit more juice.
Like in any other organizations they seem to have their grievances but when the pros and cons were considered, it was seen to be acceptable.

If you feel like putting your comments ,why dont you listen on both sides of the story, not from a handful few. You source I presume must have been from those handful of sour grapes that did not get what they wanted in the company.

Singapore python had his flaws, as no one is perfect. He had a task to do and did it well. He managed to get the airlines started at the least of recognition. That was a feather on the Cap. FIRST foreign airline to obtain an AOC in CHINA



Unfortunately your informer did not mention the good things that he did!

I was told the initial contract does not even mention anything about LOL....but he worked on it.... and the pilots got themselves covered for free......not a cent from the pilots pocket.Its 300K SGD for Capts & 200K for F/O.

13th month pay was never in the contract.....it was payed even when the company was bleeding due to the 3 months sanction.
More than 2 years of operation since inception... 13th month pay was extended and enjoyed twice....so far..
Infact it seems there was a recent announcement that another Bonus in recognition of the hard work put in by everyone ( Despite being still in the red) payable in July08

When the sanction took place....The CEO in a briefing assured the staff that the company can sustain for 2 years without resuming Business.
Nobody lost a single Singapore cent during the sanction.....

Gave in a Business Class travel to the F/O for interline travel during positioning instead of EY

Approved a 3 months pay for one new comer who end up jobless after failing to obtain his security clearance for work in China.No company would be obligated to do that if thats the company's choice.

Home Leave were honoured in most occasion.



In the recent couple of months many changes had taken place:

1)Housing Allowance increased from RMB 12250 to RMB 14000
2) Basic pay adjusted by 4,8% ( Shanghai CPI) effective 1st Jan 08.
3) Travel allowances increase from RMB 2500 to RMB 4500
4) 70 hrs guarantee extended to all pilots.
5) Foreign Insurance medical coverage in negotiation stage in view of pilots interest when flying in USA and Europe.

So Guys.... think about it....
