SIA stewardess says SIA discriminates Taiwanese employees
-
STOMPer Buay Tahan was furious to see this 'ungrateful' SIA flight attendant from Taiwan complaining about SIA on the Taiwan news. She claimed that SIA promised a salary of S$3.8k that turned out to be only S$1.3k.
In the news clip, the woman, who was named Miss Liu, claimed that SIA deceived the public with promises of a basic NT88,000 (S$3,800) pay when she only received NT30,000 (S$1,300).
The woman also claimed that the treatment of Taiwanese employees was inferior to that of Singaporean employees, stating that the latter was able to fly to worldwide destinations, but the Taiwanese attendants could only fly to regional destinations and had to return within a day.
According to her, Singaporean SIA stewardesses could transfer to ground duties after 15 years but Taiwanese stewardesses could not. Also, there were no pregnancy benefits for them.
The STOMPer commented:
"An ungrateful Taiwanese air stewardess alleged that SIA's salary of NT88,000 was actually only NT30,000 after some deduction and commented that there is a huge difference between the benefits of a Singaporean and a Taiwanese stewardess.
"I wonder why SIA have to go overseas to search for air stewardessed when there are plenty of choices available in Singapore.
"Now, it is a 'foreign talent' that complains about the company on the broadcast media." -
wow...$1300 for trainess????cant be dat low!!!
-
LOLOLOL. It is. Well, that is the base pay excluding allowances :) Allowances form the bulk of their salaries.
Hmm, not too sure about this but I've heard that certain countries (re: taiwan / Japan) require commercial jets to have a local stewardess on board before they can land in the country. Its all rumors really. & I've never went around to verify them so dun quote me on this !!! haha
-
REALLY???/allowances make up bulk of pay???
-
u need to network with the scheduler
-
what i heard is,
basic pay is indeed very low, $1400 around there
after allowances, can get about $3500
will have at least native on each aircraft
that native can only fly between her own country and Singapore
and she is still a FT.. so cannot complain also... else she can join her EVA air or china airlines -
can get up to $3,500 does not mean you will get that figure. Its only a possibility. All Taiwanese should have known that.
-
Hmm, trainee's base pay do not defer from fully operation crew dearies =)
Yeaps. actually, the pay of a newly appointed crew could well be higher than a same ranked senior FSS. This has to do with the stand by rostering.
But haha, yes, knowing the rostering officer CAN help a bit.. haha =)
-
thank you, have a great flight!
-
depends on where you go to for a certain month also...
if no US/Europe destinations.... then low lor...

-
Hahaha.. I've left !! Though living on land sux in a different sense =)
-

-

-
Hitman: haha, noooo, i've left.. Working in an investment bank now *sob*
Yeaps, pilots are single fleet trained.. Haha.. 777 can be pretty 'siong' (tough).. haha
-
Hitman: u with SIA too ??
-
no,not with sia.ya werkin with banks?thats great!!!
-
Question here is : Do we need a FT stewardess? Our local gal ain't good enuff? maybe it's time to reconsider...the last report...SIA service level dropped from the top spot.
To the stewardess, you are here begging for food coz you are starving back home. So be it today's or yesterday food...just say thank you....give u chicken wing already still ask for drumstick...
-
suspects management finds foreigners easier to cheat.
-
may yen:u married?
-
noticed that most folks leave sia when they wanna marry n have kids or go study overseas.
-
Hi Im back - Jus had an awesome day running around the rain soaked streets of orchard road.. Blah.. Haha..
@ birdeyes: Hmm - u know, rumor has it that Foreign FSS are paid more.. *rumors!!!* Though if we use a common yardstick, then yes - Foreign FSS would not be paid more since the only long haul they get are TPE-LAX while the local girls have a chance at hitting any one of the int'l destinations.
@Hitman: noooooo.. I left SIA to get my degree.. yeaps. Am one of those cliche stories of kids who had to save $$ to study - zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
