Yeh I knew this but I'm too young at the moment... also I'm not living in Hong Kong. Hope this sponsorship is still available in 3.5 years time!

[flyer_spotter]

Not a new news.

[wondering]

Does that mean SIA is poaching in HKG?

[Captain_ian]

probably challenging cathay and dragon air:)

[tom89]

meaning they can;'t find enough ppl from sing/malaysia

Anyone studied a degree in SG or know a friend that studies there? I was wondering if SG universities offer honours with graduation score above a certain %. In australia-melbourne there are 2 types of honours depending on which university, one where u graduate as basically top 15% of the class, the other requires studying an additional year or two. Just appears odd that honours will be required for cadet O_o especially if it is in the form of additional studying.

SIA interviewed some people from the last ad in May 2006 iirc anyone know how many got into the program? Seems awfully fast between recruitment for a non local carrier.

Torn89,

Im 17 too and going through Cathay Interviews, You should send in an application, even if SIA or whoever you may wanna apply for think you are too young it never hurts to show your enthusiasm. See what happens, i tried and got accepted so...

Hi bjbb, I wish I could apply for CX but my application for an HKId was rejected. On those terms CX would not hire me anyway unless I was direct entry SO/FO/Capt. I've already talked to Belinda from CX Flight Deck Recruitment on the phone and also the chief pilot on 744's who both suggest I try CX later in life (when they can sponsor my 'visa') The most annoying thing is... if I did my HKID before the 97' handover, I would have got an HKID :mad:

Hiya Tom89,

I reckon I'm in a slightly similar situation to yourself. I tried applying for a HKID card via the post last summer. My mother holds an ID card, but I have to go to HK to sit around for a month or two before they will consider my application.

Why were you rejected? were you in HK when you applied and do your parents hold an ID card?

Its great to see that bit about Cathay possibly sponsoring a visa, not sure how you go about it though. Any info that you have would be much appreciated!

Thanks

[tom89]

Hello,

My parents were both born in Hong Kong and hold HKID's. I went to HK last summer to apply in person, it got rejected immediately because my parents had British Passports when I was born, apparently, that makes me fully British!

I would have to get some commercial experience up to a few thousand hours then apply to CX. I would work as an ex pat in hk. They can't give me a visa as a cadet for some reason but they can if you are a direct entry SO/Fo/capt

Slightly off thread i know, but can you apply to the SIA cadet scheme while living in the UK?

Is it worth applying anyway? The only way i'm gonna get my licence is through sponsorship and i just want to give myself as many chances as possible.

Any thoughts/suggestions much appreciated

I have heard of pple from HK getting into the SIA cadet while residing in Canada, so as long as you are a HK citizen, I guess it won't matter where your physical location is.

In general, I don't know if SIA is very flexible regarding scheduling your interviews and all that. I also believe the medical checks/expenses are on the candidate (please correct me if I were wrong).

Thanks.

That's not a problem at all. Both parents were born in HK and lost there HKID when they changed to Dutch. After that, they reapplied and got their HKID again. I was born in the Netherlands and also got my HKID (after 97).

You would have to be nuts to turn down a cadetship with CX or KA to take one with SQ and if they only end up taking people which CX or KA did not want then it isn't really poaching anyway!
