Any changes on age ceiling?

Greetings gentlemen.

This is my first post on the forum. Went for my first interview in Apr 2006. Nil further. It was a pleasant experience as my technical knowledge gave me a hand in answering some questions. Lest some of you may think, I have absolutely nought flying experience. Am involved in engineering.

Now the question that literally haunts me: what is the oldest age whereby a cadet wannabe can be officially inducted as a cadet? It doesn't take a genius to realise that SIA prefers their cadets to start as early as possible, while satisfying MINDEF's policy; the cadet must be able to serve as a commander as long as FAA/EASA and ultimately CAAS regulations permit, because, by and large, the Captain engenders revenue for the company. I am 29 this year, and 34 looks to be the earliest I can do a mid career switch. I came across that the max a cadet ought to be is 31. Need some advice from senior members of this amazing forum if they can shed some light. I do not possess a degree.


P/S: to all dudes who have earned their stripes, happy landings.
to the rest, continue striving
