great work, guys! thanks for providing a clear picture of who makes what in this red dot. but i’m sure the figures don’t apply to expats, esp. the first world ones, who almost always make twice or thrice the listed salaries for doing the same work.

on why pilots have been excluded, let me hazard a guess:

most airlines that fly in and out of singapore are not based here, nor are their wage structures benchmarked to sia. also, pilots who fly on the singapore route are likely not residents for at least 183 days in a year; maybe mom uses that as a yardstick for the purpose of calculation.

military jobs, top civil service posts and political appointments are all non-private sector. guess the govt wants to keep focus on private sector, as the vast majority of jobseekers are playing in that field.
