Yes indeed sad that flydamnit is no more. Well heard that unseen hands in MAS management behind the move to get flydamnit out of cyber space.

Well the present MAPA council seemed to have done a reasonably good job keeping the boys happy as they did get some relatively bigger crumbs during the last negotiations. It was a rebound after the previous lean years, so most people are not complaining as loudly as before.

1.5%+RM15 pay increase
 

Ha ha Raj, I remember flying with a skipper after that who remarked that his neigbour's Filipino maid had a bigger pay revision than that! Her basic pay was RM350 those days and based on the pressure from the maid agency his neighbour upped her pay to RM380 which was much more than 1.5%+RM15 and she got her Christmas bonus too!

Why do you think MAS is such a pathetic place, why the whole bolehland is an Asian Zimbabwe..............people accept **** that's dished out.

If MAS is so pathetic, please leave and save us the whining. The sandpit and kimchiland beckon........
Tony will not have much say about MAPA representing AK pilots. At best he is just a front man for the politicos laundering public money. Also what great things can MAPA do for the non MAS pilots except lead them down a garden path.

MAPA prez cheated on membership number?
 

This is something that troubles me, a couple of years ago a colleague alerted me to a post on another Pprune thread that a former MAPA president had forced the secretary to allot him a more senior membership number that was from a senior member who had let his membership lapsed. At first I thought it was just some silly allegation, but lately as I started flying the wide bodies I keep hearing it amongst the senior pilots who claimed that it was absolutely true! This is something really not right and I wonder what the ROS would have done to MAPA had this been reported.
It is amazing, why would he do that for? Did the MAPA president need to be amongst the senior members? I am sure senior MAPA members can confirm once and for all if this was the case.

Many suns ago, some former MAPA council members categorically confirmed that this was indeed the case. Acouple of former presidents also confirmed that this indeed happened.

As far as to whether the ROS would have taken any action against MAPA over this matter, I have no idea BUT I AM SURE HE/SHE WOULD HAVE HAD A GREAT LAUGH about how low a MAS pilot could get to! The MAPA staff must have very low opinion of MAS pilots letting the president do that. And if the management pilots or had the MAS general management known this, they certainly understood how stupid or silly MAPA was... any credibility or dignity down the jamban!:ugh::ugh::{:{

Vel & Telur,

Someone is gonna say you guys are " outing " that creepy crawley lato g string. If there was anyone capable of such low tactics to gain any " respect " or attention, it is this low life! Yep, I can categorically say that ex MAPA presidents have confirmed that this was the case.

Brown alert!! I wonder how much of the brown stuff he gulped to gain latoship. Holy crap, another brown alert...with his deep pockets and super spies investigating I gonna soil my pants.

why the angst?
 

Wonder why the angst and anger at guru? You guys got the short straw od the wrong end of the stick? Were you guys at Jet in the 90s and got the rough end of the bollywood meat house?

The theory amongst some crew is that many might have been conned into the jet airways recruitment and lost big.............hey, it's not my theory, just what i heard. Digging into the archives for the jet recruitment in Malaysia will reveal quite some startling info.

looking through MAPA exco list, the name Sanjeet Singh Sidhu-Brar. is that ex-mapa president guru's son?

Now where did the brar come from?:E

MMB, getting on the years aren't you? Remember the Jet Airways recruitment thread? See this link :

and see Massenger's second post ( post # 20 ) and you will know how the brar come from:ok:

Gentlemen,

Facts not too accurate about these 2 people you are talking about.

Facts not too accurate ?
 

Pray tell more; me also not know accurate, not too accurate or ???

no, Sanjeet is not his son.

Good for him. It would have been brought up long ago if he had been his son!

OK Sireh, in deference to you and your pm I have deleted my last post. Apologies to this person Sanjeet for any unintended slight or aspersions.

Good on you. I think the apology will be welcomed. What a burden for the young chap to have such a cloud over him, sheesh!

Some facts
 

The son is a pilot in MAS. Ajit Singh
Sanjeet is his nephew
Hope this clears the air
He is now with TF outfit AAX

Addendum
 

me thinks sangeet is son of his pet pet specialist brother in columbia asia hospital s'ban.
pariah g-string licked arse of soiled leg #2 to get into aax. soiled leg never learned, he was frequently blindsided by this deputy of his when he was mapa prez.
mapa guys look out.

Heard recently that the Malaysian pilots association has been given union status by the government. If so congratulations to the present chairman for pulling that off.
