only and if you want to be upgrade you must accept local term, the worst is you ATPL
from any country only accepted for The Singapore CPL/IR only, you have to make your Singapore ATPL by your own expense and time they not give you time to do the course nor the money, so if any of your had 5000 hrs in Command in narrow body and below 15 years of aged they can apply, that's way they never had enought Commander in the Cargo, pay is less and no up-grade
Speedwoten I'm not sure, but I don't think that's the situation any more. If you've been a Captain on a narrow body, you will get the Singapore ATPL. There is no need for you to sit the ATPL exams.
We have had some narrow body Captains come through as F/Os and they were given the ATPL. Perhaps it's a recent change, but I am positive the existing situation is not as you describe.
