those who wish to fund flying beoming a GA pilot
hi guys,
my 2cents worth of story telling...
i am a self-funded pilot in SQ. i have classmates who are now flying with CX and other asia airline.
times are very different compare to my time, having a atpl/ir frozen would not likely get u a job with any major airline. being a singaporean, the best way to fly will be through the cadet pilot scheme. its the safest and most economical way to achieve individuals goals.
if u have what it thats, u will definately make it.
i was lucky that i did not waste my time on my ATPL which i got in massey, but heard that for recent years, SQ is very strict on the selction of fresh newbie pilots... till now i have only met 2 2nd officers who are self-fund like me, the worst thing is that they have an AUS CPL and CAAS do not recognize it, in the end they sort of 'recoruse' and went through the whole cadet pilot pharse.
for those who want to self-fund, really think carefully before making the move.
if i can do it, so can anybody... good luck
cheers
a great way to fly
singapore airlines.
