Block hours in SIAC is a total mess, one needs to be lucky (according to roster office) to have decent block hours every month. While some fortunate guys fly 90 hours (candies??), most of the rest fly around 30/40 hours. If it’s all about money, someone is taking the bigger part of the cake.
Re Minimum rest doesn’t mean high block hours, means unproductive roster planning turning one’s life into a rollercoaster. Few years ago block hours was low and positioning hours was high, there is no much change now as they don’t know the meaning of equity.
Travel on the freighter is also something curious. Only the pilots can do it, no family allowed, and the system is linked to SIA mainline staff travel. With the constant roster and flight schedule changes guess what happens with your travel arrangements!!! The money invested to buy your ticket is returned to you after a couple of months without interest.
ALPA-S Cargo is there only for the locals, expats are left in limbo.
"Unstable and inhuman roster"- Unstable, yes, welcome to the world of the freight dog. Inhuman (the most misused term on PPRuNe). Gimme a break! you have no clue!
This is a good example of what kind of treatment you receive in Singapore. Re “welcome to the world of the freight dog”, you have no clue how an organized outfit works, look outside your bubble and you’ll see.
PPRUNE is here to help pilots make informed decisions, I am sorry for those of you trying to hide or masquerade facts.
