Pilots send out a Mayday in court

This amidst a salary dispute involving Singapore Airlines and SIA Cargo.

A Reuters report said the dispute is being taken to the Industrial Arbitration Court. SilkAir was originally involved but the report noted that the issue has been resolved.

“SilkAir has agreed to raise the pay of its captains by between S$340 and S$360 a month and by S$225 for first officers. They will also receive a lump-sum payment for the back-dated amount owed and their pay adjusted accordingly,” said the report.

Meanwhile the president of the Airline Pilots Association of Singapore, P. James, said he hoped a similar out-of-court settlement could be reached for SIA and SIA Cargo.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
