Lucky it is SIA and not Tiger. If it was Tiger all passengers will probably be left to fend for themselves at the airport terminal, told flight is canceled, look for your own accommodation/meals and come back tomorrow.

He is obviously linked to SQ in some way, maybe even have a lot of SQ shares and is afriad that he will lose money should SQ's pilot be found guility. However, what is written is very clear as clear as it can be without being offensive...

"The taxiing Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 apparently bumped into a stationary plane this morning, said the report."

Whether the Air China pilot followed procedures or not is not as important as how a pilot can taxi his plane to hit a STATIONARY plane and expose his plane and the passengers to such risk. He should not even move if he does not have the confidence that his path is clear...

surely...maybe he is from SQ.

but this is what news is all about

breaking news first

then give details later

then SQ and CAAC will be pressured to release info....

we can then let their PR process kick in place... no harm in thath
