1. judging from the SASP's statement on educational requirements, am I right to say that the 5 O levels which must include eng math sci in ONE SITTING is SIA's requirement and not CAAS's?
2. Would I be eligible to apply for SIA's CADET pilot interview if I have 6 olevels credits taken in 2 sitting?
3. Would i be given a chance to sit in for an interview with SQ or MI if i send in my application as an applicant with a CAAS CPL MEIR f/atpl. I have 6 o levels credit which includes eng math sciences in 2 sitting?
If you interpret the SASP strictly, then yes, it is SIA's requirement. But sometimes the rules are "bent", I suppose more so when demand for cadet pilots is high. I went for interview and I didn't have the O Level requirements.
Based on what's going on recently, if you have a CAAS CPL MEIR, your chances of getting into MI is higher than SQ. I think this is due to SQ's advance jet training at MCY, whereas MI cadets jump straight into A320 (and B737 soon) ground school and sims upon obtaining their CPL/IR.
As for the next intake, I've not heard anything so far.
