Err...guys, I think you forgot to mention 2 other very important aspects of the present cargo schedule for our potential joiners.

Fact 1: Lots of postioning/paxing, sometimes amount to 40 hours a month easily across the network. (Just think of SIN-LAX paxing which has total block time of approx 18 hours)

Fact 2: You are NOT PAID for the positioning unlike the main fleet.. Hence, rostering wont hesitate to deadhead ( pax right after your active duty ) or position you all the way back to anyway that needs you cos it's free to do so and too darn expensive to put you for more than a night of hotel stay.

Now for the international school part, forget it all together. I know for the fact that the management tries their best to hire those without kids or those with no intention of sending their kids to international school. With school fees alone of SGD2000/month/child, and that's just school fees ALONE.. go figure the maths.

Lastly, to help you save some loose change, you might wanna consider the local housing of HDB apartments rental..

All the best, feel really sad for those who still have no other option but to join with these sort of terms and conditions.
