A couple of our sim instructors went to SQ from NZ to finish off careers. Those of them that I have spoken to say they enjoyed it, they were treated well, the money was pretty decent but they worked very hard. If you are on the 744 fleet you fly both pax and freight. My GS instructor on the 777 is ex SQ and a Singapore national. He said that one could fly a pax machine into LHR and fly a freighter out, and it ended up with a good amount of the day's worked being away from base.

Some initially cringe at the pay, but read the fine print as it all adds up. It was better for our guy's with the way out dollar exchanges, so you might want to check that out for your home country.

If you fly a large glass airplane with good time you likely stand a good chance these day's as the expat pilot world plays musical airlines (thing's are good in our world so check all your options).

Just my opinion, but I find many of the people posting on pprune do not work for the airlines they post about, nor much of the time are they even pilots. It is full of plane spotters pretending they are something that they are not. There is some great information, but one has to read between the lines, and go through pages of posts at times, to get decent usefull information.
