Thanks yeah which forum is that?
SQ hotline told me it isn’t a mistake so I’ll just enjoy it. Weird though. They can’t just be giving free gold status?
I was a KFEG for 5 consecutive years until 2018, so maybe it’s just a belated reward “we miss you!”
Hahaha.
I'm in the same situation- 5 years up until end of March just gone. I had 44k by the end of my year but I was just sliced off
Departure of 772 regionals is progressing. SRP is now long out of the fleet and SRQ hasn't flown for 4 weeks and is due to NokScoot.
The other 5 are still in the air although SRO has been out of action for a couple of days. SRO & SQL are now the two to watch as they have the old Y seats and IFE. All 5 of the SV-series are still flying. If SRO were to depart, the number of 772s will finally reduce to a single digit figure.

The June 2019 edition of SilverKris magazine did state that only 10 777-200s (incl. ER) remain in the fleet, meaning that SRQ is officially out.
thats a sudden and quick exit for the 772s... i thought the regional ones would stay a little longer to fill in the gaps, really. especially since they refurbed SRM, SQM, SQN & SQK recently.
previously there were
30+ x A333s
8 x 772 regionals
the equivalent of 3 x 772ERs doing regional flights
means 40+ odd regional aircraft.
however, we now only have 8 x active 787-10s & 8 x regional A350s + 18 x A333s + 4 x 772 regionals + the equivalent of 4 x 772ERs.
around the equivalent of 44 regional aircraft now.
with added flights & routes surely i thought they'd need 'growth' in their regional fleet?
but to remove the remaining 8x 772s entirely, means 8 or more regional aircraft joining the fleet this year.

sorry, haha just doing some calculations.
Think there are only 26 A330 in Mid 2017.
Further they does not seem to add much routes regionally these two years. But instead use 787-10 which carry more paxes.
So the tally is
22x regional aircraft joining fleet this year (16x A359 + 6x B78J)
And 21x old regional aircraft leaving fleet
It does balance off.
“New flights” I was referring to additions like... SQ267/8..SQ504...SQ620...etc.. all of which utilise the regional fleet. Seems they’d need a net growth in regional aircraft.
With the B787 engine and B737MAX issues, they will likely slow down the return of the A330s
SIA would have taken into account the 787s and 737Max issues, but would be reducing its A330s as planned. This is because of the deliveries of new aircrafts as within the year from now, there will be 12 A350s deliveries which meant one delivery every month and another 3 787s will join the fleet too. Hence even if currently 2 of its 787s are grounded due to the RR engines issues, the planned reduction of its older aircrafts would continue.
