Singaporeans may certainly not be rich people but the young men and women I see in the STAA program have every bit of clothing they wear to all the money they have in their pockets given to them from Mommy & Daddy.
It's their parents that have earned this money, yet they feel they have an entitlement, most heavily smoking during class breaks wearing white aviator shirts with the STAA shoulder bars, embarrassing their entire cohort, many airlines in the western hemisphere have a no smoking policy, for a career that is all too important to have a healthy life style dreaming about the bit jet they plan on piloting.
Not one is doing it on their own, not one is really informed as to what they are getting themselves into, not one of them has yet to really impress me.
Sad what this industry has turned into, go ahead and gamble your parents money away, after all NONE of you earned it in any way what so ever... why should you care... in typical Singapore style it all about SELF... Happy Landings!
