I know this is long overdue. I apologise for being engrossed in the repercussions of being restricted to the left hand seat over this duration, and the struggle in dealing with the surprising personality changes in the cockpit which followed.
This is my sincere prayer for the crew of SQ 321, the Singapore Airlines flight which encountered severe turbulence over the Myanmarese waters on 29 May 2024.
I always believe that any aircrew who have faced off to an in flight incident comes away a better pilot for it. There will be others who will inherit the from treasure of your misadventure.
I pray that you will weather your career storm and survive the corporate measures that will be served upon you. May you hold your courage under fire and remain as one crew till you reach the other side of these turbulent waters. May the changes which come upon you be the kind which make you better mates, no matter what voices speak to you when the nights have gone quiet and the hauntings resurface to make you second guess yourselves.
Forgive one another. Some things will never wash away with time, and perhaps they shouldn't, for whatever reasons eternity holds in place for you, May you one day as friends, well into the autums of your respective lives, raise your glasses together remembering that you made it to the ground intact.
Be well and fly high.
