if based in tpe, the singaporean would not need to uproot from singapore and disrupt his family life,schooling etc etc.
its only 3 hrs away !
all things considered the quality of life counts for a great deal more than a % cpf contribution from g.c.tong+co.(not that much anyway).
SIA capt get 8 days (not consecutive) off per mnth and work 900hrs per yr.
the 8 days can be 1-2 days ata time which after long trips/zones aint great.
10 days per mnth is a holiday every mnth + there is still annual leave on top of that too.
even after taxation from tpe , nett in usd from CAL ($10k+) is much more than nett from sia even for quite senior capt's in SIA.($1usd=1.78sgd)
better still you dont have that doom and gloom+ overhanging pressure/stress of a cheesed-off flight deck every flt.
they dont know a good opportunity when they see it.
are they all still 'flat earth society' members?
dont venture too far folks youll fall off the edge.
