F Dolarhyde Re Cars in Sin. Personally I consider $70,000 expensive for a small family saloon also of course for new Pilots joining SQ finding that sum (or the payments) along with the Bank Guarantee and set up costs plus all other costs such as school fees in advance whilst on a lower salary until final line check would be quite onerous especially for a F/O. When I first joined SQ I seem to remember having to shell out money all the time initially and that was without ever having a car myself in Sin.
