I think you will find that whatever the true numbers are, they are going to increase quite soon as the Senile Minister according to Straits Times ( so it must be true!!??) is personally going to take over the negotiations for renewal of the CA which has expired.

In view of his recent threats to " knock heads together" expect some hangings as well to get the Pilots in line once and for all!!

If the deal is along the same lines as Silk Air it will involve getting back the recent paycut as the new basic salary in effect making SQ Pilots by the end of the CA on the same Salary for 10 Years!!! Even less when taking into consideration the PF 10% which was cancelled in November and no doubt will never be restored.

With a sinking Singapore Dollar not a place to consider as a place to move to as a Pilot.
