Singapore is starting to look like a better place to be.
Not so fast read what happened to James Dyson.Came into Singapore with fanfare to open electric car factory.Now cancelled and sold his penthouse at 13% lost.'Dyson kills Singapore electric car project with closure of auto division"
"Vacuum cleaner billionaire James Dyson sold Singapore's most expensive penthouse for $47 million — that's $7 million less than what he paid for it a year ago"

for those who think Singapore will be better than HK.... please wake up. try it for yourself if you dare. its about time CX pilots look outside and compare their salaries. still way higher and better than others. i hope nobody will sign the new terms but in reality it will be high percentage ppl are signing.

The grass is definitely not greener in the 'Garden City'. SQ got rid of a handful of non-PR pilots. No LIFO. Meanwhile everyone else takes a temporary pay cut to save themselves. 'Union' not a word for the non-PRs who lost their jobs.
As for Singapore, they are a nationalistic xenophobic nation with more CANNOTS than HK.

You have to hand it to the DFO. He has achieved what his predecessors could only ever dream of. A frightened, compliant flight crew, queuing up to sign over to permanently worse conditions. S/O's and F/O's can now look forward to a 'competitive' 2 point pay scale for the next decade or two. At least he cannot use the old ' but you get an annual increment …' excuse when refusing your next rise.
Here's to your bonus Chris....Its gonna be a whooper!!!

I used lower case M when I wrote management for a reason ! CC was chosen as DFO for a reason, he was the most pliable sycophant they could find.. Also had picked were the other row of fools on the 3rd fl following the last "Project Altitude" and all for the same reason. That organisational structure, BTW, designed by the wife of one of the "management team" ...
They all would have been actively involved in this pathetic excuse of a "solution" and reveling in the dopamine and adrenaline of its implementation... It's a POWER thing.
All will suffer drastically in this endeavour EXCEPT them.. If they tell you different - they are the Devil incarnate and will suffer when their time comes👹

Wrong! With the new contract, a senior captain at CX now earns less than a JUNIOR FO in the Sandpit. No tax remember. Also better health care. 100% schooling paid for. Housing cheaper. Should I go on?

FO friends in the desert are on base of about 30,000aed++. So 63k HKD and if they are lucky to fly maybe some extra money on the side. Housing is no longer a cash hand out. Even singles have been forced into villas. That is more like JFO pay on COS18.
