SIA Cadets, Where is the Passion ??
well,
seems like SIA has been hiring a lot of cadets since last year, and the brisk hiring continues. According to a friend, their training schools are packed to the limits.
all that is really good. SIA needs pilots, and they will be getting a steady influx.
At a recent introduction party of a new course, when each one was asked "why do u wanna be a pilot?", 95% of the guys replied coz of the money (dunno bout the other 5%). noone answered passion or anything that sounds like it ! and to add to that, half of the newbies dont know the difference between an B737 & A320. but the one that takes the cake was "a B747 has 3 engines" !!
way to go fellas, i hope u can answer those questions by the time u sit on the B777 right seat!
dreaming bout money is all right, but gotta infuse some passion too !
cheers,
