What are the pros and cons of 320SQ, if it is available to bid for. Do regular 320 FOs have better opportunities to pick up extra flying? Do 320SQ FOs get more days off?

SQ pilots fly almost exclusively SQ flights.
Their lines do not include anything else.
RSV SQ pilots can be assigned any pairing. So you’re on the hook for more flying than anyone else. And you aren’t paid anything more for that privilege.
SQ doesn’t have any more days off. The trips are almost exclusively three day pairings worth 15.5 hours (min credit). You can easily make more money flying to TPA and HPN.
The SQ flying seems to be understaffed and constantly in open time, often at premium.
But hey, you can fly to England for significantly less pay than all your peers!
There is a reason it’s so junior and offered to new hires.
