Sia dominated by foreigners?

[groinroot]

Recently i was invited to a wedding of an SIA staff. From the small talk I exchanged with other guests, I learnt that:

a) SIA outsources its auditng of accounts to India. Does not this practice deprive local accounting firms of business?

b) A lot of local technicians were phased out in the past years and replaced with Filipinos. Ah, the FT game ....

c) A lot of foreign pilots, espcially Indians, are flying SIA planes. Why can't SIA train local boys to pilot its planes.

d) Many of the cabin crew are foreigners. I have no quarrel with this as flight crew have to deal with passengers of different nationalities.

In its quest to save costs, is SIA denying locals of jobs and opportunities?

Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Do not worry. they will always have at least one Sinkie in a crew. In case of disaster, guess who gets the blame? Ho Ching?

SIA in the earlier days were basically a Malaysian company.
Now those Malaysian FT are being replaced by other FT.
