As far as i knw, most experience flyers who are in the programme, with the exception of Massey graduates(only those with bridging course done, which is rare) have to go thru the entire course. Even for the fortunate few from Massey, they are required to go through the entire ATPL Exams again.

Well, you'll probably get tens of hours exemption, but put it this way, your chance in the interview(which is the biggest pain in the programme anyway) will increase...you'll probably have a smoother shot during your flying phase, but unfortunately, im incline to say that you'll most likely end up going through everything again.

Hope this helps.
Hey thanks for the info. I'm crossing my fingers and waiting for the e-mail. 10 of us (Malaysians) went for the final interview 3 weeks ago. Six of us got through to the medicals. Anyone have any idea how long SQ normally takes to call us up?

Regarding the interview, they (panel of 5 for me, 4 for the others ) didn't ask me any flying related questions - only about the aircraft I flew. They were more interested in my past working experience and academic qualifications. I would say I was actually more at ease at the second interview than the first. Guess I just got lucky.
