During our 2nd interview on the 23rd Nov, Edward told us that the Jan course was a request that they never had. He mentioned that its likely there wouldn't be enough ppl to start b'cos those still working would only want to tender their resig. after this work yr, which would then entitle them for their bonus...
But i think otherwise... those which are able to start imm. will be pushed into the Jan course, so from various batches, they are able to select the imm. ones...
This is just my opinion. When did u receive your confirmation and how was it made known to you? Hopefully i'll rx mine by next week...
I was inform tru email first to confirm my availability on Jan6 before SIA forward the contract package to our add. It seems like there are 6 of us from this thread confirming on the Jan6 intake. Well hopefully the course won't cancel last moment.....
Congrats on your acceptance by SQ. My first interview was on the 23 NOv, so i suppose my confirmation will come in next week if everything goes on smoothly...
I hope the Jan course goes on smoothly too... So far there're 6 of u guys in this forum, but there will be many others out there not involved in this forum...
When i saw the list of ppl that came for medical, there was quite a fair bit... at least 20 of them incl. me...
Hope I get into the same course as u guys, keeping mua fingers crossed. Also heard from someone that we won't be the only guys in the OBS, heard that stewardesses etc will be involved too... dun know how true...
But, weren't we given the Lumut OBS form to fill in?? If that's the case, I'm not so sure if Lumut or Ubin will be our start point...
Hi guys,
not to worry. From what I know, there are several more that is going for this intake.
For my interview batch, out of 9, 3 of us made it. But now, I am the only one being called up. What about you guys?
Hi all, logically speaking i don't think this 6th Jan will be cancelled. I think there are lotsa' pple out there waiting eagerly to be called up by SIA for this intake. I for one, gave up my bonus (so-called company's biggest payout somemore!) to join the 6th intake. So if they would to cancel the 6th, it would be a double blow for me (idle 1 month and lost bonus )
Another reason is i think this course fits in very nicely. By scheduling it from 6th to 26th, they have avoided the clash with Chinese New Year. This means we will get to enjoy CNY first before shipping out to the 'rig' . (Heard this 6 months in Seletar would be toughest life of a Cadet Pilot)
So take heart! I'm sure there will be many others out there like me who would jump at the chance to join the cohort rather than waiting for some short term gains like bonus. Time is of the essence. The sooner we start, the sooner we get our hands on the Cessnas/Baron/Learjet/777/747/340s!!!!
For Beechcraft , Bombardier , Boeing and airBus!!!! (The quadruple Bs!!)
At this point in time, when you finish your Cessna / Baron / Learjet, you'll be put onto the B777 fleet, EXCEPT if you signed up for Cargo, and in that case, you'll be on the B744 fleet.
Currently, there is no plan to have a Second Officership for the A345. So, if you're passenger fleet, it'll be the B777, Cargo, B744.
Welcome all other 117 mates on board. FYI the OBS location is confirmed to be Ubin, those who filled in the Lumut form will have to go back to CAAS medical to get the medical results transferred. Those who have yet to go for medicals I suggest you may want to download the Ubin form from its website and bring it along for your medicals.
Osprey, same like you I gave up my bonus to join the course as well! I don't think anyone is going to give up the chance to join for their bonus instead.
Regarding your statement on the fleets and on our employment, just wondering will it be indicated in the contract on which division would we be joining...passenger, freight..etc? Or we'll only find out after completing fly school... anyone any idea?
lucky bunch of ppl. just a little thought, does it really matter whether its pax or cargo. ppl out here are dying to just fly any jet after paying for their flying for the past 4-5 years and building up enuf experience before getting a look in ...
from what i gather, 26 is the miniumum age for u guys to be picked .. they shud increase it to maybe 30 .. so that u guys think before u speak .. and dont ask silly questions like which "terminal we'll go through when operating flights" or "stewardesses being involved in the OBS" ..
cheers mate
PS : this is directed to a few of u .. u know who u r
hey there, on_the_right... you certainly sounded not too pleased with some contents in this thread. Oh well but I'm sure you got your point there.
terryble: thanks for the info though... just a thought cause the terms read differently for pax/cargo. But at the end of day... like what on_the_right said..heck cares.
thermal image ..
i did read ur post ... its kinda ridiculous that u posted ur senseless mind again out on this thread ...
just browse through a few posts (in this thread), read them urself ... and then talk abt any standards to me .. got that !
