Just managed to catch up on this long thread and am very impressed with our Singaporean chaps and gals who are actively pursuing their flying dreams.
I have been rather lucky to have gone thru the RSAF - airline route.
I'll be sure to remind my younger colleagues (Singaporean and non-Singaporean) how lucky they are to have a good and stable flying job...and should be more appreciative.
And yes...turbo-props are so much mure fun!!
