"I think the challenge now for all of us is to work as partners for the progress of the company and to regard each other as partners," he said.
"The objective is for the company to do very well and to do that you need staff with high morale," he added.
David Leong, managing partner of human resource recruitment agency ManpowerCorp International, said the issue was "about balancing the reward system."
"The whole thing arose because the pilots felt disconnected and this comes from the compensation issue," Leong said.
He supported the government's decision to step into the dispute.
"Singapore is too small to accept that kind of turbulence ... the whole aviation hub will be challenged," Leong said.
"If we don't balance our act properly, we are subjecting our whole aviation industry to uncertainty," he said.
