1. A MEETING BETWEEN CPA AND SIA TOOK PLACE IN HONG KONG ON 10TH
FEBRUARY TO DISCUSS SIA'S TRANS-PACIFIC PROPOSAL. CPA FOUND IT
IMPOSSIBLE TO FORECAST A PROFIT EVEN BY EMPLOYING EXTREMELY
OPTIMISTIC ESTIMATES OF ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC RESULTING FROM THE ADVENT OF SQ SERVICES AND BUDGET FARES, THEREFORE THEY CONSIDERED
THE MATTER DEAD.
2. HOWEVER, LIM CHIN BENG SUBSEQUENTLY PHONED BLUCK TO ASK IF HE
WOULD SEE LIM AND PILLAY ON 3RD MARCH IN HONG KONG, WHEN THEY
HOPED TO IMPROVE THEIR OFFER. ALTHOUGH THERE DOES NOT APPEAR
TO CPA TO BE ANY PROSPECT FOR AN ARRANGEMENT, BLUCK AGREED TO
MEET AS A MATTER OF COURTESY.
