Hello Chris,
Please do not give up on the aviation piloting opportunities in Singapore. All airlines in Singapore are hungry for pilots, and priority is awlays for Singaporeans with CAAS license (irregardless of flying hours).
According to the CAAS SP&L office, there is a surplus of low-timer CAAS license holders (including those from RSAF). It is just matter of time for the local airlines to suck them in.
The airline culture (especially pilot recruitment/application) in China is totally different from Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and etc.
It is true they (the Chinese airlines) want Captains. There is too much advertisement (from those sickening pilot recruitment agencies looking for Captains). However, these airlines in China have direct recruitment for low timers and lots of people (referring to the Chinese blood) don't know how to jump the loops of application.
Mandarin speaking is not good enough but must be Chinese (regardless of nationality). And these are the applicants rank above "鬼佬".
