You will come out well ahead due to lower tax rates in Singapore
Actually, I think you would come out well ahead because of the promotion, which is admittedly the case here. A tiger skipper in Oz is financially better off than his SIN counterpart tho.

Personally i would rather have cheap, interesting, cultured places like that at my disposal than the "Trashy" Gold Coast, "Exciting" Canberra etc.
Take it from someone who's experience in Asia amounts to a bit more than a couple of 2 week holidays in Bali.....you can do without the sort of " excitement " you get up here.

Probably not so well, so if that's your situation don't do it, they're not forcing anyone
Therein lies the rub, why do they need pilots to go to SIN ? because the conditions are relatively rubbish, and while pilots keep jumping at these deals they will never improve ( if you think it's a good deal, take a look at CX, KA, Korean, Vietnam T&Cs )

You'll have a Sing licence, work permit
Both of which you lose the minute you leave ( SIN validation, not licence )
