Hey all!

After much searching and reading on this website about Singapore Air, I still couldn't find a plain simple answer...
How does one become a pilot for Singapore Airlines?
Besides the cadet program, if you already have all your licenses (FAA rated in my case) , how would you have to go about to fly for them?

Obviously a workpermit and legal status in the country plays a role..
But as far as them accepting FAA licenses and hour requirements I have no clue.
Anyone done this before?
My scenario...Over 1500 hours with 1000 hours jet time (RJ).....
College degree....Tri lingual...and can swim!
Any info welcome!

Hate to burst your bubble. But with your current qualifications, no chance at all.

Unfortunately - no chance even in a good economic market. You're about 5000 hrs short to even be competitive

Maybe you should consider Tiger Airways in Singapore

no chance with a FAA ATP unless you are DEC on type and with tons and tons of pic hours.

icao licenses are much favourable in asia, FAA ATP from what i knw will be in a disadvantage position even with a large amount of flying hours.

great way to fly
