Very strong rumour on the Silk Air package - but as some one mentioned there is still no expat contract so if one has children and you want an international schooling, then it's not worth it - at all. So "rumour' has it that the expats will still be on their bikes. For the locals it's all good news, and one must wonder if this will filter up to the gestapo in SQ

How the government has let the international schools charge such exhorbitant fees is beyond me - and even the SQ subsidised school allowance barely cuts the ice. If this dissapears from the new agreement or is readjusted similar to the freighter contract I suspect alot more pilots will be doing the walk.
