How's the "working atmosphere" at Singapore? Are the pilots and flight attendants happy with their schedules, benefits, etc? Do many people leave? Are most of them Singapore nationals? I’m curious because I fly on them every now and then and I always enjoy it so I wonder if employee happiness translates into my positive experience?
Also, what's a DEC position? Captain?
Singapore Airlines group which includes Singapore Airlines,Silk Air and SIA Cargo hire foreign nationals on both Expat terms and Local terms.I spent 3years over there its a great airline and a beautiful,clean and a very safe country,perfect for people that have families and a good place for single guys aswell(if you know what I mean).As far as the schedules are concerned somebody in crew scheduling plans that for you,there is no line bidding system over there,but generally the schedules are pretty good.God forbid if things turn ugly over here,I plan on goin back as I have not really burnt any bridges @ SIA.Money is good as a FO on any fleet your average take home is US$5000-7000 and Capt averages about US$13000-16000,taxes are pretty low 10-12%,and every year you get a bonus which can be anywhere from US$4000-40000 and lets not forget the 13th month salary.
