Big difference between joining SIA as a DEC all those years ago as a low profile ex BA Captain compared to what is being discussed. Even if SQ were looking for DEC's on the B777 I somehow doubt whether this individual would even get an interview as he comes with too much baggage.SQ would hate the publicity that this would attract.
Graduated pension was what you got in addition to the state retirement pension. I am surprised you carried on paying NI after 60 as surely you would have had more than enough contributions to get the full state pension presuming you carried on paying Class 3 stamps whilst in Singapore ?
