By the way, I have a Bsc(Hons) degree from overseas, prior to that I did my Adv. Dip and Dip in Informatics. They are only offering me $475 + $25 until ATPL. Does this mean all my certs are not recognised by SIA?

BeeFGee : Did you apply for SilkAir as first choice?

Cheers

With no disrespect, that is pathetic rates to be taking in for the next 2 years of someone's life. Whoever took this up is effectively working at the rate of an unskilled foreign worker (Bangladeshi/Thai/Myanmar) and worst, with no confirmation of acceptance at the end.

I suppose, SIA is effectively in a "take it or leave it" position, considering that there are many out there who will be audacious enough to sign up on those terms. Is this a subtle exploitation of cheap labour then?
