Sorry mate didn't see this post till today but thought I would add a couple of things..
1.) Does SIA still have any eyesight requirement?
3.) If I am accepted to SIA after having done my own CPL, what stage would I be fast-tracked to?
These two are more based on CAAS than on SIA from my understanding as an instructor at the college. Some candidates were given a 50 hour exception for a CPL/ME CIR, others have been given nothing. To this day I still don't know how it works...
6.) Does it help having a uni. degree?
Maybe Flying can confirm this one, doesn't the recognized degree affect pay scale as a cadet?
And the last thing to add is this. Even those guys who make it through the interview are not guaranteed to finish the course. The interviewers do their best to select the right candidates but even they get it wrong as they are only human. I posted this on another thread...when you walk into the interview remember;
Airlines need pilots like pilots need the airline....the only person who can fail the interview is you.
