for me personally i tried everything in SGP from cadetship in SIA then FI in SYFC then direct FO application in LCC to lastly cadetship in LCC,
i know some of the ppl in those companies by referrals but still no joy (those referrals are mostly becoz of ex airforce connections, and yes, dont be naive, sgp flying circuit are dominated by ex airforce guys, i.e. chief pilot of so and so company are ex - SQN comdrs of so and so, thus they will pull in ex pilots of so and so SQN)
lastly can you PM me your seminar details? I wouldnt mind flying back just to meet ppl of same background and chit chat.
to the green eyed youngster out there reading this, 2 words - good degree
preferably good degree in physics, maths or science, SIA's mantra
