You might like to look at the Jet Star Asia package - I understand that it's a lot better than the present A320 Tiger package.

Also Singapore based A320 operator Jet Star has an Oz ethos rather than a Singaporean one - see the thousands of previous postings on Temasek (Singapore Government) owned Singapore Airlines - and is much less likely to unilaterally change the pilot employment contract (always for the worse) than is similarly Temasek owned and controlled Tiger.

As you probably realise, Tiger has been having huge difficulty attracting pilots, due in no small part to the derisorily small package initially on offer and born of the beloved and all consuming market forces philosophy. These self same forces have obliged Tiger management to improve the package (it's not because they love pilots!), so I'd wait around for a while, if you're presently in employment, and see if the "force" improves things further.

Please also bear in mind that living expenses are quite high in Singapore.

Best of luck.
