hi there,
As for Tiger, fresh fATPL holders might get a shot in joining this LCC. there will be a programme for A320 type rating (Self-sponsored). this can be open to all international candidates.
As for SilkAir, direct entry FO is nearly impossible as SIA group of companies has their own ab intio cadet programme in which supply of fresh pilots will be taken from the cohort. DEC is the only way for silkair thus with the required criterias set by the company.
Being local will not give you a chance at DEFO for silkair. You may reapply for the SIA Cadetship if your a local. But with a CASA fATPL, chances of direct entry is near zero as CAAS do not recongnise CASA licensings for fresh pilot at the monment. Therfore if you get into the cadet programme it is most likely you will go through the whole training pharse again. But it is more likely that you may get the chance to enter the main fleet or cargo. Although preference are seeked whether one would like to fly for which subsidary, most of the time, the placement issues are done prior and will be told in the final stages.... you will never know what fleet you will go to.....
cheers,
Great Way to Fly
