Well i guess that sums it all up. Try for the ab-initio scheme and if u fail go elsewhere. However if u have the resources available, go ahead with yr flight training elsewhere and if yr ultimate goal is to fly for SQ, go and apply when your back after yr flight training. Reccommended places of flight training? Reading back on almost most of the post in this thread, i guess AUS and US (Florida) are the best places to go to?
By the way guys may i know if the STATA training standards recognised by the CAAS? STATA is own by Singapore Technology and quite a number of Singaporeans are getting their flight training there in Australia. Im also actually quite confused by the FAA and CAAS conversion issue? Can anyone with a good idea of the conversion shed some light on the matter =D
