SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) and the pilots union remain in talks over lay-offs as the parent airline began its retrenchment exercise on Monday.
Retrenchments have started for SIA and SilkAir cabin crew - a process expected to take place over the course of this week - while 50-60 pilots on employment passes were also understood to have been let go. Nearly 1,000 cabin crew from the two airlines will be affected in all.
