PR status - have NOT received a reply/offer to interview. @SQ, many of the FO's that were retrenched were in fact hired as Cadet Pilots by SQ; and even they have not been called back. It appears that any hiring effort is concentrated on locals (nationals +
PR) only at this stage... They have also ramped up hiring of direct entry cadets (Nationals +
PR) also for both Scoot and SQ.
If no one from the non-national list has been called up - its seems fair to say that they are name-collecting and not actually hiring foreigners at this stage. Seems odd that they would even try to even advertise - but this is how it has played out..
Cathay on the other hand IS hiring - and although the t&cs seem far less than before... the chances to keep your careers and licenses alive seem better there for now..
Yea what you are saying it's true. Many former employees still haven't been called out. So it could be a long waiting game for us especially DESO.
However SQ Is set to expand its network and increase frequencies so let's hope all goes fast all of us here.
