Actually i think no choice for them. They have clearly anticipated a gloomy scenario that the industry will not recover anytime soon in the next 2 - 3 yrs (possibly longer as a doomsday projection).

It is only sensible to lower operating expenses as much as possible, to extend the runway to burn their cash at hand to stay afloat.

Dont see why anyone should rejoice over this.

Should they fall, the ripple effect will be on an unprecedented scale for the rest of Singapore.

Ya. Dont know why ppl here like to rejoin over ppl losing job.
Once SIA start retrenching, thousands more ppl looking for job will be added to the current unemployment pool.
The unemployed will stop spending affecting other business and then more retrenchment.
Maybe COE and housing cheaper but u dare to buy when you might lose ur job ?

Package must be good to entice volunteers to retire ie 2 months for every 1 year service.

Otherwise who would want to volunteer?
