Any updates from SIA for those pilot wannabes who have recently attended their first interview?? Why is the forum so quiet? Where are all the pilot wannabes??
Heard from sources that SQ has excess First Officers at the moment, which explains why they are applying the speed brakes on their recruitment. There seems to be also a bottleneck for cadets doing line training on the 777 cuz the 777 sims are in high demand, mainly for command upgrades, thus the cadets get bumped off the priority list. Some cadets have been bumming around for 7 months after completing their mustang course.
Heard an SQ CP that they are trying to get CAAS to approve the Second Officer course on the A330. Once that's approved then the queue for 777 should be reduced substantially.
As I mentioned the number of cadets that they're taking next year is gonna go way down to 80. So with the limited number of vacancy, for those applying, make sure you spruce up on your interview preparation.
