As I alluded to the treatment of the expatriate pilot as a Singapore local requires a certain amount of time be spent IN Singapore....Coming and going as these chaps(ettes) will be doing does not necessarily qualify them!
It could have easily been cleared up. Both RH (Old AIPA) BW(Old AIPA) and indeed the company failed miserably in that regard..Would not have taken much to clarify all the questions. Plenty of independant consultant, tax specialist types...Most companies do that prior to sending anyone overseas.
But with the management of Flight Ops and the company at present it is bullying and intimidation..Dialogue is not important and stupidly enough 52% believed the crap from management and BW, RH....
As datum said get your own advice, but the new AIPA is very concerned at the devil in the detail
