The report comes on the heels of the announcement that the carrier paid 78 million Singapore dollars ($45 million) to its 13,000 staff members who received pay cuts last year as the flu-like illness hit the airline's profitability. The payout was the amount the staff lost in pay cuts over the last year in addition to 15 percent of that amount, an airline spokesman, Stephen Forshaw, said. When it cut salaries in July last year amid a SARS-induced travel slump, the airline pledged to pay a lump sum to workers if profits for the full year to March 31, 2004, exceeded 600 million Singapore dollars ($346 million). The airline reported a net profit of 849 million Singapore dollars ($490 million) for the year. The first-quarter profit marked a sharp contrast to the SARS-induced loss in the previous April-to-June period but is below the 478 million Singapore dollars it earned in the fourth quarter. Singapore Airlines said higher fuel prices over fears in the Middle East added 80 million Singapore dollars ($46 million) to expenses. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/31/business/worldbusiness/31singapore.html?ex=1092294973&ei=1&en=c6ea27a1ce2f790b --------------------------------- Get Home Delivery of The New York Times Newspaper.
