In the SIA group,I think only SQ Cargo has some expat contract Capts and Co-pilots in the payroll. SQC has a good man running the show, but how long he can keep the HR folks from making an obvious case of termination of the expat contract remains a lost cause. It is their airline, and as 'foreign talent" one really remains a "guest" of the employers needs....one must always be looking for that opening with updated CV in tow constantly.New national policies to hiring of foreign talent to appeal to the electorate, HR folks that do hiring and firing with no idea as to the value of hours is a log book....that is the reality here in lion city..... It is their Airline.....sad but true
