That's not entirely true. It depends on what you mean by an expat. Do you mean a foreigner on an expatriate contract i.e. housing allowance, children's education allowance, or do you mean just a plain foreigner?

I can say that in SIA, since there are no longer anymore foreigners on expatriate contracts, the topic is moot.

In Silkair, there never was any expatriate contracts. Somehow, the foreigners learnt how to live in Singapore without the need of an expatriate contact.

In Scoot, I don't believe there is anyone on expat contracts.

In SIA Cargo, there are no more First Officers on expatriate contracts. Only pilots on expatriate contracts are the Captains. Foreign First Officers not on expatriate contracts, meaning on national terms, can, and have been, upgraded to the captain's seat. They just have to fulfill certain requirements on years of service, sectors, hours, etc.

Hope this clarifies.
