You bet! Don't, under any circumstances ever consider leaving SAS for SIA.
The salary scale you have been quoted is derisory and looks like that shortly to be forced on us bonded serfs (watch these pages as LKY has summoned the "unions" tomorrow, 5 April, to receive the tablets from the mountain) plus, as a matter of government policy, the S$ is being devalued by stealth, to boost export volume from the Republic.
You would be crazy (or stupid) to countenance joining SIA in the face of these circumstances.
