Surely they cant survive in only employing cadetts! DEC I can understand if they are not so keen on but a job on the 777 or 330? Based in Sing I guess.
Well, you might just wish to check that again. SQ has been investing in their pilots' training and the wheel spins pretty smoothly for the last decade or so. And Patty is absolutely right that the numbers of expats are reducing (well, I did have to move north when my time came few years back).
For those who are still there, was told that they intend to eventually only hire Expats on LOCAL contracts. So be prepared to sacrifice your lifestyle if you have couple of school going kids.
