Thanks for the support, Blue.
These are not ASKING conditions - these are ESTABLISHED conditions at 1 or more airlines operating in the Far East, Asian & Indian regions.
That the contracting companies are trying to demolish the EXISTING conditions - and that SIA has succeeded (in some areas) - needs to be a warning to all of us.
Let's talk, and compare the BEST conditions we are offered.
As the pilot shortage bites further, we ought to be aiming HIGHER.
SIA has never been the highest payer - but then again Blue, you didn't tell us about your generous BONUS payments, nor the 22% CPF contributions, nor the caviar served to the flight deck, the $200/night Japan stay allowances, the generous, 12 month, interest-free loan at the beginning of contract.
As I said, let's talk about what we DO get, and take it from there.
The contractors will try their damndest to knock us backwards, without US helping them.
It's time to stand our ground for that we have ALREADY achieved!
