SINGAPORE – Singapore Airlines (SIA) pilots have agreed to take deeper pay cuts of up to 50 per cent so that more of them can stay employed.
This is on top of a 10 per cent cut in the monthly variable component (MVC) of their salaries, The Straits Times has learnt.
With the new agreement reached between SIA and the Air Line Pilots Association – Singapore (Alpa-S), re-employed captains and first officers will see their salaries cut by 60 per cent and 50 per cent respectively, starting Oct 1. This includes the 10 per cent MVC cut.
Other captains will take pay cuts of up to 28.5 per cent, while first officers will take cuts of up to 18.5 per cent, depending on their current pay.
In an internal circular — a copy of which was seen by ST — the pilots were told: “We are pleased to announce that a memorandum of agreement (MOA) was signed with Alpa-S effective Oct 1, 2020 to March 31, 2022 on additional pay cuts to avoid further job losses.”
This latest agreement supersedes the previous one dated Aug 6, said SIA senior vice-president of flight operations Quay Chew Eng and Alpa-S president Kenneth Lai.
