Its not really a "meal" allowance but i guess it is meant to cover the same thing. its a flat rate out of base allowance that starts from reporting time in SG to 1/2 hour after chocks on in SG.
To get 11300, you gonna have to really work your butt off!!
but 50-60 hours seems to be about average...
Bogan, from what i gather, most of the direct entry guys don't have the rating. In fact, quite a lot of them are 737/767 background, so getting probably won't depend on that one factor too much.
As for transfering to the pax fleet, the only glint of hope in that is the clause in the contract that says something to the effect of the company can at its discretion, move you around where it sees fit.
cheers y'all
