I notice you and others mentioning the attractive higher salaries offered by SIA Cargo. Please look at this rationally by comparing the standard of living you can expect in the required location based on the take home salary.

As you are located in Indonesia you will understand that a Garuda Captains salary would make him a pauper in Singapore but he lives like a King in Indonesia enjoying a much higher standard of living than a "Mainline" Singapore Airlines Captain. The value of any salary is only applicable to the cost of living of where you are located and it is wrong to makes comparisons with salaries elsewhere in the world.

By the way there will be no transport allowances for those in SIA Cargo, you make your own way to work and no First Officers will be employed on Expat Terms.

I'm in a bit of a rush presently but will try and provide some more information at a later time provided I have not left SIA by then.
