SINGAPORE - He has gone from being a helicopter pilot with the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) to flying the uber-rich with American private jet company NetJets. Now, US-based retiree David Tan spends his time transporting rescue animals from kill shelters to prospective foster homes across the US. The 70-year-old Singaporean is one of over 6,000 volunteer pilots at Pilots N Paws, an American non-profit organisation that serves as a virtual hub connecting rescue organisations and volunteer pilots.  Animal rescue groups sign up with Pilots N Paws and put out a call when there is a need for animal transportation.  Mr Tan also works independently with rescuers who contact him directly.  In the 13 years since he started with Pilots N Paws, he has flown more than 420 rescue dogs, 42 cats, three goats, one pot-bellied pig and a bat in his 20-year-old Aermacchi SF-260, a two-person Italian light aircraft. He tells The Straits Times via Zoom from his home in Madison, Wisconsin, that it is rewarding flying animals, even if the costs of these flights are all out of his own pocket.

Applicants for the permanent, full-time position would also need to have 10 years of prior job experience. On Reddit, many users expressed incredulity over the perceived high salary for the position. Wrote one user: «A nun pays much better than a preschool teacher...
