Maybe your friend did read them to you correctly and that you have a different interpretations.
They did have an increase to their basic salary plus hourly flight pay. To get to 19000 SGD basic he would have to be a very senior capt in SQ. You need to make the right comparison between the two senior Capts at both airlines.
MVC is included in your basic not an addition. The tax rates in Sin is not 10%..try more like between 15 to 17%. Singaporeans and permanent resident card holders are entitled to CPF whereas expats on an employment pass does not, hence the 10000 sgd per year bonus pay out at the end of your contract. Outstation allowances generally higher than that of EK but you're not going to be on all layover trips...777 does quite bit of turn around..
I believed your friend did read them to you from the ALPA-S contract but you had a different interpretations..because in no way he would have quoted that the tax rate was at 10% and the MVC was an addition to your basic.
