So much for SIA pilot surplus ending anytime soon. This fiscal they have 17 new a/c coming in (10 SQ and 7 MI) but an effective increase of just 5 a/c (2 SQ and 3 MI) plus Scoot gets 2 new A/c but they have nothing to do with cadet pilot recruitment. No wonder they froze recruitment. SIA is hurting on load factors with increasing competition and the outlook doesn't look too promising either. Looks like its still going to be a long long wait for us hopefuls.
