Greetings all,

There's a bit of a fad running through the PPRuNe admin section for creating FAQ's for each forum, and always being one to jump on a bandwagon when I see one I was thinking "why not!" for the FE Forum.

It's easy enough for me to make my own mind up and link to a few of the major threads, but I'd like to know what YOU think, and what YOU have found most useful. Soooo.... any suggestions for threads that could be incorporated? What discussions have you found most useful in here? Remember, the FAQ will be a "first stop" for people seeking information on the life, remuneration, employment chances amongst the FE airlines... both positive and negative, balance is what I always strive for on this forum and the FAQ should hopefully reflect that.

Post your ideas (with links, preferably) and once I've got enough I'll edit the best examples all into one big post and sticky it to the top. I'll straight away throw Knightwhosays_NI's My SIA Interview Experience.. Cadetship Scheme (http://www.pprune.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=147640) into the ring as an excellent example of what I have in mind.

Thanks,

Perhaps a page that answered the basic questions that intending newcomers to the region always seem to ask.
Something along the line of (for example),

Country - Singapore
Currency - Singapore Dollar ( Sin $1 = about US 65c UK 35p)
Electrical supply - 240v
Power point shape - same as UK
Tap water - safe to drink
Languages commonly spoken - English (Singlish lah)
etc
etc
etc

All those things you don't get told at the interview, but need to know.
Cheers

Q : Is this the place to look for India related posts?
A; Even we dont know. If you dont find it here, try your luck in the Middle East forum

I have got the answer to my question after the renaming of the Far East Forum to "Far East, Asian & Indian".

Thank you!
