Re Your post of 28 March
“Officially downgrading the job of pilot to one of skilled labour and delisting it in Singapore as a profession”.
Maybe Singapore Airlines recruiters need to get up to speed here. As I understand it, 98% of their cadet pilot entrants are degree holders. Surely something of a qualification overkill to meet a “skilled labour” requirement?
Similarly, has anyone informed Breitling (who not so long ago produced a limited edition watch for the professionals of Alpa-S) that their latest ad, featuring the words of John Travolta (5000hrs TT, 400hrs p.a. in his own B707/G2 aircraft), “Profession: Pilot, Career: Actor” now carries zero relevance and that it should read “Skilled Labour Category: Pilot”, when read in Singapore.
I assume that very shortly we will cease logging into Pprune when in Singapore and be required to access the Skilled Labour Rumour Network?
What a bl**dy ridiculous place!
