Apparently 777 type rated pilots are very welcome but hard to come by.
Indeed they are!
Most are not willing to accept the ****e terms & conditions on offer there and the racism/anti-expat sentiment that is growing stronger, in what is a
VERY expensive city now.
Remember:
No firm RDO's; on standby constantly and MUST answer phone; no 13-month bonus like the rest of Singapore (ie you work 1 month FREE, on the 28 day roster!); no housing, no proper medical; meal allowances less than actual; no fatigue management; rostering favoritism; bonding in excess of local regs; no Provident Fund allowance unless have Residency (and all except 1 have been refused!)... gone through 4 heads of Check & Training since starting and an expat Safety Manager who left (currently no safety manager!), can't hold onto F/A's as many have/are leaving before their bond is up... 4 Capts just resigned and they're trying to shaft yet another F/O (ontop of the few other crew gone already).
I would think very long & hard about joining such a situation, especially when there's so much better out there.
