SKYWEST (SINGAPORE)
The majority shareholder of Skywest is Singaporean. You will find that most young Singaporeans are tertiary qualified and there is a great emphasis on academics in Singapore.
I think you will find once the Singaporeans take on a more hands on approach at the operational level. A degree will be an additional requirement.
You will also find that there are quite a number of experienced Singaporean SIA Capts. in Perth who will be retiring at age 60. These pilots could quite easily move into management positions in Skywest, they also have permanent residence in Oz and will qualify. Once that happens there will be a further push to have a degree.
