Gentlemen,
The fact remains that as Expatriates, hired guns, mercenaries or whatever else we choose to call ourselves or prefer to be addressed as, security of tenure is negligible. One would have thought that an assessment and alternative plans had been made prior to accepting expatriate term employment with a foreign carrier.
Naturally, the Singapore based crews want the foreign overseas based pilots released first, so as the cushion the impact of the imminent salary reductions.
Could you, hand on heart, honestly say that if you were in the same position with your national flag carrier and facing personal financial purgatory, not be doing the same thing?
