x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Well it may be poetic to many others who have suffered the arrogance and pride of their SQ Pilot and Cabin Crew friends, who continually boast of their free air travels, 5 star hotel stays and free upgrades to Business Class during personal trips.  Its time for many of them to be brought down a notch or two and to eat humble pie.  And staff cuts and retrenchments and pay cuts are really quite the norm.  What more for an airline company that has virtually no passenger travel demand. Come on - do you need cabin crew for cargo flights??? simpleguy123      ( Date: 24-May-2020 15:05) Posted: Erh for pilots i don't know whether they are still paid. Perhaps no paid leave. But stewardess definitely won't be paid, perhaps they are under no paid leave. Their structure is more of a "pay as you fly" kind of deal, then again i may be wrong. Just because SIA does not announce retrenchments, does not mean they do not freeze or cut salaries of their cabin crews. Maybe the last thing SIA wants is to release such news to public because they feel it will hurt investor confidence in their rights exercise? Plus i heard they were dispatched as "ambassadors" for this covid-19 period.

Meanwhile, SIA pilots and cabin crew continue to sit at home doing nothing.  Many other airlines are doing massive retrenchment exercises and holding off on aircraft purchases.  SIA should cut air crew, cut salaries and suspend benefits.  They have to show us they are doing something at their end.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	anything they do to cut cost is helpful to investors. anything they do find work for they staff is good for their employee. nz and australia trying to form travel bubble. uk promoting within country tourism and looking are lifting travel between some european country. we have probably pass the worse time for air travel and tourism. can only get better from here. just hope it happen asap with safety measure.   simpleguy123      ( Date: 24-May-2020 15:05) Posted: Erh for pilots i don't know whether they are still paid.

x 0   x 1  Alert Admin	Nope. Cost cutting and restructuring is music to ears of investors. Starhub has so far done a pretty decent job (pun intended) for its restructuring and cost cutting measures. Streamlining processes and costs is always to benefit of shareholders. simpleguy123      ( Date: 24-May-2020 15:05) Posted: Erh for pilots i don't know whether they are still paid.

And reason I tell you too early to decide is because, IN CASE price goes down to $3 or below, it makes no sense to exercise at all

So you are actually breaking even after 9 years. It could be worse i guess.

If I were you, with all due considerations, depending on the market up till 8 March, above $3.50 I will pay to exercise the Rights to convert to Rights Shares. If below $3.50, I would not convert and wait till 9 March and after to Buy direct from market. Remember, 9 March is the date that the Right Shares will be listed. That means the market will be flooded with SIA shares. Likely a Sell-down will happen.  Wish you better Luck next time round.   abkt999      ( Date: 23-May-2020 18:00) Posted: Sorry i got a bit confused with all the rights/MCB issue procedures and how best to deal with it.But after your replies,i understand a bit more now.When i had been allocated the rights,i did not thought of selling it but to subscribe to the rights at $3 each and let the MCBs lapse.I had bought long time ago in 2011 at high price of $14+.I think no choice now but to subscribe to the rights to bring my unit cost down to $7+.Currently I have 4320 SIA shares in CDP.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Yes. 28 May 9.30pm will be the cut-off at ATM (imagine queuing behind a slow loris..haha) of course those intend to do so, just give yourselves ample time. Not sure what will be the SIA price before 9 June. But I gather should SELL (or short-sell) before the Rights Shares are listed on 9 June. Conversely, those who want to Buy cheap can do so on the 9 Jun onwards. But the thing is, no one knows what will be SIA share price prior to 9 Jun. It could be $4 or it could be $3. It is a big difference for decision making. Surin888      ( Date: 23-May-2020 19:27) Posted: Deadline to exercise the rights is May 28. Share price slumped more than 20% on May 6, that' s already factored in the dilution due to rights, not sure how much more downsides could be after new shares start trading on June 9.  This fundraising is successful for Sia, but shareholders totally lost confidence. If Sia needs another round of fundraising, no shareholders will support again. Simply pathetic😭 TheDuellist      ( Date: 23-May-2020 19:05) Posted: Apologies, I mean 9 June to be listed for SIA Rights Shares
