Default SIA pilot CNN Heroes Finalist- Please Vote
Budi Soehardi is a Captain with Singapore Airlines. He has dedicated himself to running an orphanage of 47 children in West Timor. Unfortunately, Budi's contract with SIA is not going to be renewed next month and he will be laid off. The grand prize for winning is $100,000USD and I'm sure Budi will use it wisely. Let's help a fellow aviator

I too saw that clip on CNN and will certainly cast my vote for him. It really is refreshing to see and also strikes a chord withins ones self wondering if we do enough for each other.

What an inspriration!!

Let's hope that we can help him get the votes - and that he'll have an opportunity to keep flying.
He has been very well known in SIA for this wonderful work that he and his wife have been carrying out for quite some time.

Obama wins everything, by default; the world loves him.

Thumbs up Commendable
But I voted for Brad Blauser; more so for the good will he's spread in Iraq than for any other reason. And if ever there's a place that needs good will, it's Iraq.

Let this send a message to all of you who are considering contract pilot jobs at SIA (or any other carrier).

You are a hired gun and it doesn't matter how long you have been there, or how good a pilot you are, when the downturn comes, you are the first to go. If your contract comes up for renewal, it will not be renewed.

Other than that, enjoy the ride!

Sorry for the thread creep.
