Aspiring pilots.
Wake up n smell the flowers. They don't have to be roses.
The cadetships aren't the only way into a fulfilling and rewarding career in aviation. Research and do your homework, go overseas for your flight education.
If you already have foreign licences, pack your bags, go to your neighbouring countries to bang on doors and hard-sell yourself.
Nobody said you had to only work in Singapore to be happy.
Having the pilots licence is a visa to apply for jobs elsewhere.
Also--- Do you have to be in a shiny jet at your first step in aviation?
Harden up princesses. Have a cement pill.
Start from the bottom. Then maybe after some small aircraft flying job will you appreciate that theres nothing wrong with starting from the bottom, and where hand flying is real flying, not jumping in and connecting autopilot at 700feet until minimums.
Unless that is what you want from the start, seriously, theres more to aviation just "flying the big jets". Do some soul searching--- why are you a pilot? For the $? Prestige? Passion?
If $$$ is all you are looking for, seriously, pilots earn a fraction of what doctors, lawyers, bankers, accountants etc earn in a fortnight.
