Wife wants to move to Singapore, I need a job ;-)
Hi guys,
wondering if anyone has some info for me regarding DEC jobs in Singapore?
I am currently CPT A320c with easyJet but my wife wants to emigrate. Somehow she is attracted to Singapore, I don’t mind too much. Anywhere warmer climate then Northern Europe is fine for me!!
I was wondering if someone can tell me about DEC jobs with SIA or Scoot/Tiger. Well SIA would be DEFO ofcourse which I would also consider as long if there would be a change to get command back again there.
Also would like to find out about the recruitment processes over there if known :-)!!

A DEC on the A320 would be available with Jetstar in Singapore. Another option would be Royal Brunei in Bandar Seri Begawan 2 hours east of Singapore and could lead to a B787 opportunity.
Good luck,
Ron

I'd seriously suggest some thorough research on the cost of living in Singapore, and how the hell you are supposed to manage it on a contract salary. If it is just the two of you and you'd like to live in a small apartment, you may be able to make it work but you won't retire on much. If it is a family of 4 and 2 kids that need school, you will struggle to make ends meet with any reasonable quality of life, and you will retire on nothing. We left for this very fact.

And if you are seriously want a better life please re-consider what your wife wants ( i.e to be in Singapore).
Coming to Singapore for holidays and living in Singapore is two different things. If u are seriously considering the latter please do the math for the cost livings before coming over.
And finally, whatever you do, joining SCOOT Tigerair will be the LAST thing u want to do, IF u want to look for a "greener" pasture. You will be too tired to do anything if u join this gig, not to mention the below average salary that is offered. To top it all off, working conditions and environment in this gig, is by far one of the worst in the market.
I am confident u will find something better.

Finance mate and his Banker Missus made a decent go of it till kids.
Down to one income (about 300K USD), and three boys in school, it quickly lost it's appeal.
They have now moved back to Melbourne and the boys have free school.
Both of them work, and the bank account is again climbing.
Living in SQ was killing them financially.
SQ, Scoot etc.. don't pay anything near what you he made. You don't have a chance.

Agreed! The cost of living is ridiculous! Singapore is very nice but don't expect to have any savings, or a car, or living space larger than 50sq meters, or a couple of beers by the waterfront!

Singapore is super nice but as most former colonies it’s just out of control in terms of living expenses. I looked into it a few years ago while I was there, and I struggle to see how you can live comfortably with a family on a captain salary. It’s probably still ok if you’re in finance making big big bucks, but still It’s way too much.
But most importantly, never let the wife decide these things

Wife wants to move to Singapore
*golfclap
and what does the wife intend to do there exactly?
I asked my wife earlier this year were she would want to live,anywhere in the world.
She said right here (were we live now)
She’s still my wife.
