So they've got a pay rise!??
L1011: If what you're saying is true is that you're saying that all Singapore Airlines pilots have got a pay rise! Oh my god! What a great achievement. Kudos must go to the pilots and ALPAS. Well done to you all. It's good that you put the squeeze on stingy Singapore Airlines.
So what is the new deal for pilots of 744s for example? Let me get my last edition of Flight Internation
Oh look. What I've found!
SIA Mauritius wants 744s for LHR, LAX, SYD and 777s for PER and BNE!
Blah blah blah
-----Depending on your basing, the current annual salary (including allowances and year-end bonus (Hoorah!)) is approximately a) STG 78000 in LHR (What the hell is STG!!), b) USD 113.000 in Los Anglaes, c) AUD206,000 in SYD or AUD 168000 in PER / BNE. In addition, subsistence allowance will be paid for each hour away from Base (for meals and incidental expenses whilst on flying duty) and a BONUS depending on the company's performance (which is at an all time high this year I believe).
If type qualified a gratuity of STG (Bloody STG again) 21000 LHR, $30 000 LAX, AUD 55500 SYD / PER / BNE is payable upon completion of the contract period of 3 YEARS with prospects for extension!
If given 777 conversion traning, a gratuity of AUD 92500 PER/BNE is payable upon completion of the contract period of 5 years with prospects for extension.
Free air travel... yeah whatever
Annual Leave: 4 CALENDAR WEEKS!
Yeahn yeah yeah whatever.

So has ALPAS got an improvement on that or what?
