Asian Airlines in Singapore

Well,

Guys have survived on less than that in Singapore. The budget setups are a lot lesser than CX with Tigerairways, JetstarAsia and even the regionals like Silkair and new upstart Scoot. But essentially, having lived in Oz and US for several years, you WILL NOT be able to replicate the lifestyle, home floor areas, SUVs that you are used to until at least you are a SFO if you have a family of more than 3. However, I can only say this as I have interviewed and seen the T&Cs. Like most guys have highlighted, its a personal choice and make your own informed decisions. The salary scales are there and comparisons against all other carriers as well as employment opportunities are also not that easy to come across.
