There's a few good facts there which may be close to the mark. But are you able to appraise the readers of the following as they pertain to Singapore:
- what assistance Jetstar plans in order to get 'interested' pilots up there,
- the cost of owning a moderate family car,
- the cost of a mortgage on a modest three-bedroom home on 600sq.m block, or alternatively
- the cost of renting an air-conditioned three bedroom apartment,
- the cost of schooling children,
- the costs of health care to expats, and
- what assistance Jetstar plans to offer to get expat staff and their famiilies back to their 'Australian city of origin' for important family events (births/weddings/funerals) like other expat-hiring companies do.

I don't know the answers, but I do know that previous 'expat' pilot contracts, and for that matter any other business too, are on substantially better terms than would be offered to the locals. What's your take on that?
