During the height of the SARS crisis, SQ did release a number of cadets who are training in Jandakot. It wasn't reported in the papers as these people are in Perth, not Singapore. Funny thing is, after they release the cadets, they still take in another batch soon after.
For other cadets who are still around, they got to be on their toes cos they may be the ones to go if they screw up anything... SQ is more stringent given such times
