What, Godfred, you joined STAA as a private cadet? If so best of luck, word of advice, if you can run, run while you still can... Unless you like sitting around and getting maybe 3hr of flying time in 2-3mths.

No matter where you go, if you are a Singaporean, you should only join flying as a cadet, due to an almost dead GA industry, your only chance of flying is if an airline chose you. Plus the CAAS license is a one way street, a foreigner is more then welcome to come and fly in sg, but a Singaporean license holder is not really welcome anywhere on earth.

Remember, there's no such thing as getting a CAAS cpl and then flying GA in Australia, they mean it when they say,"Australian jobs for Australian workers."
