Hey Prodi9y! Don't you have to study for your BAK exam?
What are you doing posting on the forum?
There's a wealth of info on this thread alone for S'poreans wanting to be pilots. But, it still comes down to taking the first step of getting a PPL. Any ICAO PPL will do. That way, you know for a fact that you can hack it as a pilot at least. Then, you can do more analysis paralysis as to which country's licence is 'BEST' for you.
After that, its the holy trinity of licences - CPL, ME, IR. Without that, you have practically NO CHANCE of being hired as a pilot.
Get the licence then worry about how you're going to get a job. If you want to line up your ducks before taking a shot, you'll never do it and will be forever just talking about it. Phrixus has shown it is possible with a Canadian licence. Prodi9y and myself are doing Australian licences, and there are other pro pilots that have FAA, Aussie, Malaysian and NZ licences, so it is all possible. Since we are throwing slogans about, here's a short but apt one - "Just Do It!"
