SIA a good employer? Well it depends on who is the head of its division

 After working 35 years for SIA, I must say overall it is a good company. However, whether it is a good employer or not will depend on who is the head of the division or SVP. During my tenure in cabin crew, I had worked under 7 bosses out of which in my opinion only 2 gained my admiration and respect. 

The current cabin crew SVP Tan PT took over the helm at cabin crew after I had left. Although not having worked under SVP Tan but looking at the way he treats the crew, I think he is one of the best SVPs in cabin crew. My reason for saying so is because he did not retrench nor got rid of any Singaporean and PR crew despite of SIA losing billions during the current pandemic. In a similar situation, some other SVPs would have used the excuse to rid some cabin crew whom they did not like.

During the SARS crisis of 2003, dozens of crew were retrenched or given the "Golden Handshake" The SARS crisis inflicted a couple of millions in lost revenue for about 3 months or so. In the end,the airline still managed to make a tidy profit for the full year 2003 despite of SARS. So why were the crew and a few ground staff retrenched in 2003?......to be continued

SIA on track to almost fully restored its flight network?

 Speaking (SIA CEO) to media on November 12, 2021, the head of the airline confirmed that currently, the company employs 92% of the flight crew and 86% of the cabin crew it used to have before the global demand slump. In the meantime, the carrier also reactivated 79% of the fleet. 

The question many are asking is what has happened to the rest of the 14% cabin crew?

Any clever answers from you?
