Today SIA put out an "Early Departure Scheme" for expats. Guys can leave by June 30th and get pro-rated end of contract bonus payment plus any company bonus for this year, and, listen to this...
get relieved of their training bond!!
Wow, I never thought I'd see the day. Having just said that, I think something similar happened about 1992 or 3 when SIA told all the expat F/O's that there wouldn't be any expat F/O's anymore. Similar terms were offered then and approximately 90+ resigned almost on the spot.
Whoa, somebody just ran past me to resign just now..and another...and..hey, wait for me!!
