Do not expect a fair play in real world and blame the 'leader' or the system, when things doesn't go my way, either adapt or make it your way! it leader not good, you work hard and take over his job or become a leader that how you want it to be. If not quit every time until you find the ideal 'leader' you want to work for. Expand I can't agree here. We are indeed paid to do our job but it is not a bonus to have good boss good company. It should be seen as a package. Sometimes we are willing to take less pay if there is a good boss/company. Some bosses/company, you can't pay me enough to work there. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wt_know Supersonic September 28, 2020 Share September 28, 2020 (edited) expenses = $19K based on T2 formula ... if you can afford only 1 x Patek, buy a SS Lolex ... this means his monthly income previously is $50K minimum?

Expand I wouldn't put any weight on dunno what t2 formula. But the pilot chap stated his previous income is 23k. (https://www.malaymail.com/news/singapore/2020/09/28/one-sees-his-flying-dream-cut-short-other-sia-pilots-become-delivery-driver/1907303). Think he bit off more than he can chew if his expenses are the kind that can't be quickly scaled down. More importantly, he is 50 years old (what is retirement age for pilots?) so should be approaching retirement and have more savings? I can understand a new pilot not having enough savings but for someone on the verge of retirement? Edited September 28, 2020 by ToyotaShuttle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I also agree with you. Things won't drop it your lap. What I disagree about is calling it a bonus. In addition to work hard and pray hard, I also suggest to look hard. If the company is lousy then be prepared to ditch it - work hard and pray hard in a lousy company or under a lousy boss is no use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic September 28, 2020 Share September 28, 2020 This guy more sensible, that's why in Opposition. For pilot Terence Soon, 30, on the other hand, he said that the pay cuts have not really affected him or brought worry upon his family, despite having a five-month old daughter to care for. Mr Soon, who ran as a Progress Singapore Party candidate in Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency in the 2020 General Election and has been with the airline for almost five years, said that his expenses are very low. “My mentor has always told me that you've got to treat your salary like you're just taking (your) basic (salary). Don't ever count your allowances because you never know there would be a day where suddenly there’s no more flights and you have to survive on your basic pay,” he said. “So, the amount that I spend per month is really rather low and I try to be consciously aware of that because how many things could I possibly need?” Mr Soon is in the midst of applying for other full-time jobs. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
