Bring in the SAF pilots!

Newspaper headlines "SIA's latest offer in A380-pilot wage dispute rejected" by Hasnita A Majid, Channel NewsAsia Posted: 25 April 2007 1720 hrs

Summary as follows:
Pilots from the Air Line Pilots' Association - Singapore (ALPA-S) requested for more pay for pilots flying the new A380 fleet. ALPA-S argued that a pilot should be paid according to how accountable he is and the level of responsibility he shoulders. So the bigger the aircraft - the more passengers it carries - and thus more pay for the pilot. In this case, since the A380 is bigger and more expensive - valued at US$295 million - and will carry more passengers, the pilots’ pay should also reflect that, according to ALPA-S. This request has been rejected by the SIA.

I say, fire them all! We should get our SAF pilots to fly instead.

SAF pilots can perform stunts like barrel rolls, upside down flying and high-degree banks at Changi Airport. This is sure to attract more tourists to Singapore. Besides that, air safety will be greatly improved as SAF pilots are also well trained in crash-landing and enemy fire evasion! All these and more for mere NSF pay. It's a good deal !!! :P
