Apparently, the
Bilateral Tax Agreement between Singapore and Australia has a
subtle clause in it, which prohibits two distinct groups from utilising it:
1. The Merchant Navy; and
2. AVIATORS....
Why?...I've been told that many within these two groups have abused it in the past....
Additionally, I seriously doubt whether the Singapore Government will make concessions to either the Australian Government or Qantas given recent events....
Once again - Senior members of the last AIPA and QF Management have sold their most junior pilots out!!....for what...They have not only provided a very poor deal...they have also failed to understand the full impacts of such a move!
