Drivers required in both seats in both outfits.
MPL cadets reaching 1000hrs are sending pretty pictures and stories of themselves anywhere and everywhere before they miss the fast shiny boat. At 1500hrs they get the long and impatiently awaited call.

Experienced drivers are now NOT willing to pay to play. They have done it at least once before and now not willing to feed the Greedy Gobbler ever again. So now it's a bit like Babe looking for truffles at a contaminated beach......and those found are actually a good convincing copy. You get my point.
For those willing to part with a little spare change to play, YOU are the cause of the state that the market has become. You deserve what's coming

With the many impending opportunites coming to the the Lion City before Terminal 4 opens up, the 2017 Game Season is just about to begin. Only thing, not many people want to acknowledge it. Again, you know what i mean.

Good luck.

Scoot/Tiger

Hi all

I got the email to do the online assessment which I did. Only completed it yesterday. Im 4500 total with about 1500 jet currently flying E175 in the USA. Im rated on the bus as well with a couple hundred hours.

I certainly will not PAY to PLAY (P2F) and I sincerely hope no more pilots do this as long term you are ruining all of our futures and pay packets. Just look at CX and KA, they are not a happy bunch!!

The market really is in the pilots favour if you all just use common sense, especially you newbiews with SJS issues and lack of patience.

Would be good to know what the terms of the deal are for 320/787 FO at Scoot and Tiger are.

CAAS does not accept less than 500hrs experience on type for licence conversion.....unless you agree to do it all over again, and pay. There is a never ending line of eager kids with $250k in hand waiting to hand it over for their first arcade game experience. Be prepared to study and sit a super duper JAR Performance exam too.Low pay till you get on the line in 3-5mths, assuming you breeze through everything. The operative word when you want to work in SG is PAY. And if you have a family in tow, you will throw in the white flag the moment you turn your calculator on. Exact same high rent as in HKG and Beijing, you won't be able to afford a car (and even now a motorcycle after the recent price hikes), golf, eat in restaurants frequently.....hell you won't be able to afford anything Shop wisely.

The state of affairs at CX is not directly because of p2f. You will definitely have to pay for your type rating at scoot.

Command upgrade will take a long time from what I hear.

Well then looks like I wont be considered...cant say Im too upset!! No way Im ever degrading myself, fellow pilots and the profession with P2F!!

I have no sympathy for those that do and wonder why everybody hates them. They need to learn a little patience and stop thinking it is an automatic right to sit at the business end of an A320 at age 21....

I wonder what they would do, if one is invited to the online testing and the video interview and for some reason one would not do it !!!
Has anybody been in that situation ? Would they give you another change or just forget about you ????

Ps: never been and will never be into p2f

Cheers
Roster is brutal, very close to 100hrs every month on the 320. 4sectors spanning 12hrs of duty time is rather common. Salary perhaps 12-13k SGD, pay ur own rent/utilities/taxes

For command, maybe 5yrs if many people leave

Correct me if I am wrong. Say 17K minus Tax = 15K. Decent apartment 4K which leaves you with about 11 K. Might as well go to Hong Kong.

Hi,
Do DECs with previous experience on 787 (1000+ hrs on type) also need to pay the training bond?
Stallone, does that salary range apply to the 787 fleet or 320 (captains)?
Thanks.
H.

Hello,
I have been invited to the 2nd stage of assessment after the initial online testing. I applied for DEFO based on my 737NG experience.
I am aware it is expensive city and it is a low cost airline.
Can i know what could be the actual salary take home for a P2 after deductions. A minimum pay without accounting the flying allowances. Unable to find generalized information in the web.

Thanks
