BlueEagle : U mentioned that SIA can move the Captains/FO around as they desire when there is a need to as long as salary package is the same. However, i read somewhere that the Cargo Captains/FO do not get transport allowance, pax allowances, etc.
How can that equate to a similar package?
On the other subject of pilots being "volunteered" over to the Cargo company I will be surprised if there are any takers for the present offer that has been couched in terms of a "short window of opportunity" that will close in a few months. For as long as there are no 90% rebate tickets, no payment for paxing, no schooling for kids over the age of 18 and a reduction of annual leave it simply isnt worth it. There isnt even any expatriation allowance included which makes the annual $20K carrot mostly worthless.
Not forgetting....
1. NO anual free ticket
2. NO transport allowance to and fro to Changi Airport
3. NO defined command training programme
