SIA Cadet chopped
I have a question regarding the SIA Cadet Pilot Programme:
If a cadet is chopped from the programme based on poor performance or lack of qualities (i.e. failing exams, unable to learn quickly enough etc.), does he or she need to pay back all the corresponding training costs to SIA? If so, how much would that be in a worse-case scenario right at the end of training, i.e. chopped in the LearJet-stage?
Is this also the case for Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilots?
I know in case of the KLM ab-initio programme, although itīs actually a self-sponsored programme via a loan and offers no job guarantee, it does offer an insurance (called īgarantiefondsī) that takes care of the financial aspects, basically freeing the chopped cadet from financial liability. Also in case of Lufthansa the company rather than the cadets turns up for the costs. Does something similar exist at SIA or Cathay?
Thank you.
