Am in Singapore now and it would appear that SIA are battening down the hatches so to speak. I met one expat, age 51 who has been told that his contract is not being renewed and another coming up to age 60 who is not being offered the extension to age 62 as has been the norm up to now. It has been rumoured that up to around 70 expats will not have their contracts renewed in the coming months so the chances of recruitment would appear to be slim at the very best for the time being.
