This is the usual back door strategy for people with passion but are caught out by the age requirements. If you are just using them as a means to waste time before you qualify, they will smell it. When you are done training, you start at less than $2000 as an instructor, so you really gotta have passion teaching passionless (mostly) young men in a sweaty C152.

Quite a handful have come this way since SFC started operations in the late 80s and they are now captains with various airlines. Strangely none are with SIA still (IIRC). One is with Silkair.
Thanks a lot for the info Thermal. I think this is a a good back door strategy for the penniless + SIA reject + soon-to-be overaged people like me.

Anyone with further info on duties of these instructors? Is it similar to those of SYFC instructors?

Cheers!
