I was under the impression that this thread was for SIA, and not SIA Cargo. Lets not confuse the two. There is a world of difference between the two, in many, many respects.

Too bad he deleted it. I don't understand why. Although I disagreed on the perception of the issues, the factual content was correct and it just shows how it can make you feel about working for mainline.

FTLine and Ark Deletions
I'll put my money on Ark complaining to the Mods, who then deleted it on condition that Ark removed his post as well. Sad , as their were some home truths in there.

SIA Luck
According to the news over on the HK Forum, OASIS is shutting down, so SQ will have a bunch of 744 guys banging on the door tomorrow morning, prepared to sign anything. SQ have the luck of the Irish.

ULH,
I reckon the OASIS fellas would have to join up SIA as non type rated(B777)....?? Or is SIA just taking ALL who qualify.Typed or not...??!!

SIA will take anyone who fits their req's. A bunch of highly qual. unemployed, will take anything 747 boys, fits perfectly. What pilot shortage i hear them say, as the next paycut looms.

ULH,
Just curious, what "next paycut" would you be referring to. Or would that be a lack of sufficient pay raise?
I do agree that whatever perceived leverage may have been enjoyed has vanished.

Anything less than the inflation rate for Everything in the next CA, is what i consider a pay cut. Eg. your cargo housing[at least you got one, zip so far in mainline], work after 60yrs-10% cut. Go back 15yrs and you will see a nonstop erosion of our CA. Don't expect any surprises in the next.

I doubt if the demise of Oasis will help SIA Cargo find extra Captains as every time I have seen their Captains in the Copthorne Hotel near Gatwick where they nightstopped they all seem fairly old and probably well off ex BA or Cathay retirees. Cannot imagine they need a job that badly to join on the T & C's offered by SIA Cargo

We have quite a few of those very people already working here. A few years 'fun in the sun' before final retirement. And who can blame them?

ULH,
Hmmm! Inflation rate, good luck with that.
Don't mean to sound flip, but I've heard this before in another life!
The much discussed housing allowance pertains to expat contracts on both mainline AND cargo.
Interesting you should mention the 10% cut over 60. It's my understanding that at one time SQ's retirement age was 55. When it was raised to 60 it was initially done with a 10% cut at 55+. I don't know how long it will take but my guess is that some day in the future (near or far is anyone's guess
) the payrates will be seamless to 65. But that's for another thread!
At the end of the day we will see what our brothers at ALPA-s deliver.

Interview/Sims....??
Once again.....is this a cargo or a mainline thread...?? Sorry for being so forthright. Did'nt mean to be rude......
On another note, has anybody so far done the interviews?? Whats the interview like? And the sims...?? Heard that the paperwork's really REALLY REALLY extensive. Wonder why. Its a LOT about the paperwork, is what i've heard. EVERYTHING must be signed and stamped......AND THEN countersigned....!! Can find a whole lot of faults in that. Well,i guess if I was hiring somebody I did'nt exactly know..... .....

As far as getting in to singapore goes...sia or sia cargo most of the recruitment,training 6months,bank deposits for 66 months is same.
also paper work ,signatures,recommendation,is same,
not much confusions.
rated /nonrated all follow same system.
