My apologies to all Pprune loyalists who took offense at my ("50 % bull****...") comment. It was a figure of speech. Approximately 50 %, which could also be 10%. Kinda like approximately S$7,000 PPA/month could also be S$2,000-3,000.
Thanks for the general sincere sympathy "for our plight", especially from you mainline boys. Really not necessary. Pilots that survive always have backup plans. I never would have come to this beautiful Island without the attitude that I could/would at anytime call 6552 2222 and head for Changi and distant shores on a one-way ticket. I would advise any potential SIAC joiners to consider the same. Indentured servitude ended in my home country with the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.
