Singapore Airlines Looking for Cadet Pilots in India , University Degree Required

I'm beginning to see the reason for this big recruitment:

"Singapore Airlines to launch low-fare airline

By Geoffrey Thomas and Kurt Hofmann | May 26, 2011
ATW

Sending a major signal to the airline industry that the competitive landscape of long-haul travel is changing, Singapore Airlines announced Wednesday it will set up a new no-frills, low-fare carrier operating twin-aisle aircraft on medium- and long-haul routes.

SIA said in a statement that “the new airline is being established following extensive review and analysis,” which was in part focused on the runaway success of AirAsia X with its fleet of A330s and A340s. It added that the new airline would “enable the SIA Group to serve a largely untapped new market and cater to the growing demand among consumers for low-fare travel.”

The new carrier has not yet been named. It is expected to begin operations within one year. It will be wholly owned by Singapore Airlines, but will be operated independently and managed separately from SIA.

“We are very excited about what our new low-fare subsidiary will offer to consumers. We are seeing a new market segment being created and this will provide another growth opportunity for the SIA Group,” said CEO Goh Choon Phong.

He added, “We have observed on short-haul routes within Asia, low-fare airlines help stimulate demand for travel, and we expect this will also prove true for longer flights. At the same time, we remain fully committed to the further growth of SIA, which will continue to offer the highest-quality products and services to our customers.”

Reacting to the news in Toulouse, Airbus COO-Customers John Leahy told ATW, “I have been waiting for this to happen. It is quite a natural move. I'm a big believer in the LCC model.”

While noting that he doesn't have many details on SIA's plan, Leahy said the new carrier could operate A330s: “Have a look at Tony Fernandes at Air Asia X [an A330 operator] to see how well this operation can work. I suspect, also, [SIA's new carrier] will use the new low-cost terminal in Singapore.” "

1.Regarding the eye test report, to whom should it be addressed or referred to? SIA or something like "To whomever it may concern"? Anyone who had already attended the interview, can you pls give the contents of the report so that we can get ours in the similar format?
2. SIA has mentioned in the interview call mail about testimonial and supporting documents. I am working for a software firm (not a reputed one) for the past two years. I have my work experience certificate from my previous employer. Do I have to get any kind of testimonial or something that certifies that am working with the current employer? ( which means I have to tell them am attending SIA interview)? Is it necessary as many of you have mentioned that they send you back if documents are missing. Is it a compulsory one?

Thanks and Regards,
Prem.

[btommy]

anyone else up for interview at bangalore here? Also all those who have gven interviews at mumbai kindly share your experiences. Thanks alot.

[sachinshets]

[viper005]

Buddy I too have a decent eye no. say 1.50 and 0.50 still I appeared for the interview...are you sure they did not allow you for the interview becoz of the mentioned reason..

[Premkumar]

Hi,
Aspiring pilots who attended the interview this weekend at Chennai, kindly update the questions asked. Would help those attending in the coming weeks!

Thankyou.

[pars_tnj]

I have received the mail for chennai for 4th june. But i have forget to reply and replied lately. Will i get a confirmation. Or i can walkin to the venue and check with them.

Guys please help me out.

Regards,
Parswanathan

[The Aviator 2]

I submitted my application on the 29th of march and still haven't received any call... Could someone please inform me if any one you know submitted an application on the 29th and received a call for it??? The suspense is killing me and my job as ground staff at kingfisher airlines starts tomorrow. I'am willing to throw that job provided i get a call for the first round...

BTW the city i applied for was Bangalore... My current stage at the website still reads blank... Please help me out... This is a life i've always dreamt of...

[btommy]

@ aviator 2.
Well jsut wait for the call.Still almost 2 weeks for the interview.Therefore just wait for it.As far as I know there is no way to contact SIA as they have clearly mentioned that only shortlisted candidates will be notifed.Regarding your job just go join it cz SIA process takes nearly 3 to 4 months or somtimes even more.

[The Aviator 2]

@btommy

Yeah i understand... You see the issue is if i go ahead with the job i've gotta go to bombay for training which lasts 3 weeks and commences on June 6th

I'll just be patient and use the Law of Attraction till then :ok:

BTW where are ya put up in B'lore... I reside at Old Airport Road, Rustam Bagh, right behind Manipal Hospital... My name's Shashank...

[The Aviator 2]

Didn't get the call yet and probably never will... Looks like it's the pathetic service industry for me... All the best to those who got the call... May you get through...

[pars_tnj]

Hi,

Another few hours for my interveiw.....

Regards
Parswa

[btommy]

All the best for the guys who are gna have their interviews in chennai and kindly share your experiences as soon as possibe.

GOOD LUCK
CHEERS:)

[pars_tnj]

Guys ,

My interveiw went Ok. But i went last i mean i was the last one to take the interveiw before lunch so the guys were kindoff hurrying up things and not showing much interest. Other than that they didnt show much interest in technical things for me( Wondering y ). So suggest you to go bit early to avoid this kind of thing.

But got to know that along with me couple of guys with CPL and others with BE in auronautical had a tough time with technical questions. Totally twenty attended in the morning . And one more batch scheduled for evening.

Guys please prepare yourself for questions like what are the aircraft types and model does SIA operate. What is special about SIA. If we have to increase market share in india what we should do. and what will be the crisis the industr will face in the coming years.

Also prepare yourself for questions like where is singapore changi airport located in singapore. Nearby countries and their capital and how it is situated from singapore.Most important

I have prepared with few basic technical stuff how airplane works, forces acting on a aircraft,aircraft parts.But nothing they have asked.

Most important thing y ur interested in this industry.. ( I am working in IT).
What made you so interested in this field. They are expecting a good answer from you.So prepare your self for this. This could be your trap (Once you answer more questions will be shooted from ur answer.)

Also carry all documents in original and one set of photo copy. to avoid hassle.
Carry a resume and photos also.

Finally they said that they will let us know in 2 weeks to 1 month.So until then will keep my fingers crossed.

Wish you good luck guys who are taking tomorrow.

[sqrahim]

Guys Can anyone please guess when will the 1st interview rounds get done throughout India. Anxiously waiting results, whether I have made it to the 2nd Interview or been rejected.
This is a very agonizing wait.
Have the Delhi interviews been conducted??

[btommy]

Chennai guys kindly post your experiences.We are anxiously waiting for the feedback.

[Apollo1]

Hopefully we(Delhi guys) will start getting the interview call now. And whosoever does please let the others know.

[KrnCorn]

@ Akshay Sharma

First of all scumbags like you shouldnt get called or get interviewed by anyone at all. You are a disgrace to the flying community!

I know who you are and what you have done to get your licence. So please do not seek help on this community and guys dont bother replying to this guy !

last summer SQ Aviation Hangar 1 (Fake flying) does it ring a bell ?

[chitrashah]

i think sia delhi interviews will be in July,,,according to what i think because...they are conducting interviews in south so i think they will take some more tme to reach to delhi.
so ppl who have applied from delhi,i suggest you to keep some patience,you will definitely get a call. :)

[superdunkaroos]

what sort of logic is that?

'they are conducting interviews in south so i think they will take some more tme to reach to delhi' ?

[chitrashah]

actually,they are conducting interview in bangalore on 16th,so i think they will spend some more time in south india,then they will come to north india.

[superdunkaroos]

Interviews in Bangalore tart around the 11th(should be a couple of day depending on the number called) and they are not on a vacation here so they will certainly not spend more time in south India. The next centre is Delhi and from the look of things it will be either one week after Bangalore or two weeks.

Stop spreading misinformation.

[btommy]

i have my interview in bangalore on 11th but not sure since which date they are gonna start in bangalore

[chitrashah]

oh really the next centre is Delhi???
if it is so,then i would like to Wish Good Luck to all the candidates there.
May you all get Success.

[GunZ]

Hey guys....i would be really grateful if any one of u can clarify mr query....
if a CPL holder gets through the whole process and gets selected.....at what stage of the training would he join? will he directly go for the stage after the CPL or he shall start from the scratch!!!!????

[VT-RST]

AFAIK, CPL Holders do not have to sit for Psychometric Tests. They undergo the same training regime as Non-CPL Holders. Do confirm, however!

[GunZ]

so dis means a CPL holder wid ME n IR will hav to start from air-ex???
and then pay 60,000SGD again fr trainin and also wait fr 3-4 yrs fr gettinh online....!!!! I really dont think dis is a good idea...!!!

[Dushrox]

@ GunZ

yeah you`v got it spot on, doesnt seem lucrative but thats what was conveyed to during my interview

[GunZ]

chek ur mail or pm......thanx!!!

[Apollo1]

All the best to Bangalore guys who are appearing for their interview tomorrow.

Anyone from Delhi heard anything from SIA? It seems like no one from Delhi has received that magic email from SIA yet.

[chitrashah]

still waiting for that magic email.....
i hope that all delhi people should get it soon....

[superdunkaroos]

Got a call for the 25th, New delhi
Connaught place

[Apollo1]

@superdunkaroos

When did you get the email from SIA?

[superdunkaroos]

Yesterday.

[harsh786techy]

Congrats on the interview call.

Could you please let us know what your "current stage" shows on Singapore airlines profile page.

[superdunkaroos]

[harsh786techy]

:hmm:

Hope i get the interview call too and the status changes to "Interviewing".
:ok:

[chitrashah]

[Dushrox]

AnyWays.....Best Of Luck.

Regards
:-)

[cvchetan]

26th june hotel lalit, 1345 hrs..

[chitrashah]

AnyOne from Delhi got a call ????

[raghavkabra]

@captain22

please tell me if they consider applicants with cpl but not with graduation

[Captain22]

No.....they won't consider students with CPL only.....their basic requirement is graduation only which they clearly mentioned in ad too.
Anywaz complete your graduation and apply again next time.
All the best

[phoenixrk]

No they won't

[harsh786techy]

Is there still anyone who has not got the call for delhi SIA Interview.?

[dragstar]

I'm still waiting to hear from SIA for Delhi interview.

[flylikeaBE76]

Such a bummer! I'm hoping against hope to get a call, but in all likeliness it's not going to happen since 17th is the last date they wanted candidates to confirm their attendance for the interview.

[aviator_0088]

I'm a final year graduate with Indian CPL n all. Haven't received any mail as yet for the Delhi centre. Is there any way of getting in touch with the HR guys of SIA? Although I've mailed to them, but getting a response seems unlikely. Any phone numbers? Or probably, I shouldn't be expecting the call coz I'm still not done with my graduation?

[dragstar]

Could someone who's got an interview call for Delhi paste a copy of the letter here on the forum.
Thanks.

[captsharma]

Got a call for 25th june,Delhi..
need a lot of guidence..ohhhhhhh

[dragstar]

@captsharma
when did you get the email for 25th??

[captsharma]

Hey I got it ard a week ago..but I was out of station so saw it today only..

[harsh786techy]

All the people who got the SIA call letters native of delhi or out of delhi.?

[pars_tnj]

Hi all,

Have anyone who attended interveiw from Mumbai and chennai got a response from SIA.
Currently the status is showing "Blank" in their application...

[Dushrox]

Has your status changed from "interviewing" to "Blank" ?

[pars_tnj]

Yes , Presently my status is showing blank. Earlier it was showing interviewing.
After two days from interview it has changed to blank.
Thats y wanted to check what happened to others status.
What abt ur status.


Any way thanks for replying.

[VT-RST]

From BOM, still showing Interviewing.

[pars_tnj]

Dear VT-RST,

Thanks for reply. Keep updating if any progress.
Will do the same from my end.

Any body else got blank after interview.???
Can't wait to get to know the results.:ugh:

[smghouse6]

hi Frnds, i have attend d interview on june 4th .do any one receive mail for SIA(joycee), pls rply

[smghouse6]

hi frnds, i have attend d interview for SIA cadet on june 4th. do any of u received mail from SIA(joycee). pls rply...

[capt.vj]

Hi,
I had also attended the interview in Chennai on 4th June, but din't get any reply yet. The status on the SIA website is blank.

[TopGun1287]

Hi All,

My status is ' BLANK ' . I appeared for MUM interview. Probably results shud be known by 1st or 2nd wk of July.

Gud luck Guys :ok:

[Torque Skylon]

Hi Topgun1287 :) ,

Even my status is "Blank"
But to my knowledge Joyce said that the results will be AFTER 2 months.
As they will give the results once all the candidates have completed their interview.
And she also said not to call them till Oct- Nov :( .
Even I hope we get the results soon, but we only have one option and that is Wait.

[praanaav]

Hi,
I was done with my interview in mumbai on 22nd May, i was told we would get the result after like completion of all the cities.

Just as i read through the thread i read some of u guys mention the status on the SIA web site is blank where as i c the status as "Pilot Interviewing"

Does any 1 has a clue what exactly is the status thing is suppose to be....................

[VT-RST]

Your status is Actually ' Interviewing ', and you have applied for FO - Cadet Pilot position! You are reading Pilot from the earlier column. :)

[praanaav]

My bad .....
So what should be the status like blank or interviewing?

[TopGun1287]

Hi Guys,

I am just guessing from the previous experience that if you status is BLANK that means your application is being reviewed. And yes we have only 1 option i.e wait for their call.

Delhi Interviews are on 25th and 26th as i read it in the forum, so probably i guessed that the results shud be out 2 weeks after the interviews are done. They said that the wait period could be 4-8 weeks.

Don't quote me on this, coz i m just guessing it on the timeline given by SIA. :=

Gud luck and Have patience, results will be fruitfull. :D

Cheers Guys!!:ok:

[btommy]

all the best delhi guys...

[TopGun1287]

Hi All,

They have started sending Mails to Mum People, and Unfortunately I received the bad news today morning, I couldn't get thru :ugh:. Very :sad:

Gud Luck to Every! :ok:

[coolonu]

i attended d interview in Mum on 21st May, received a mail today from Singapore Airlines saying im not successful in their interview.

all d best guys!

[sqrahim]

I didnt make the cut. May be they got too many applications from the jobless CPL holders and they would be happy to have them onboard rather than spending on someone with absolutely no aviation experience.
My hopes are shattered. Will get back to concentrate on my family business.

[praanaav]

worried.... haven't got an email yet......... i did my interview in Mumbai on 22 May......


did any one get an acceptance if yes can you please share the date mentioned.

[praanaav]

just wanted to know if any got the acceptance whats the date of 2nd stage

[TheEagle]

What the hell is their shortlisting criteria???? I have an engineering degree, a CPL and about a 100 hrs instructional experience...what else do they want??? :mad:

[btommy]

@the eagle
how did your interview go?
Were u really confident with your interview apart from your qualifications?
Now we guys are scared to see a guy not get through with such fine qualifications.

[TheEagle]

I am pissed coz i wasnt even called for the interview....:ugh:

[btommy]

ohhh then should be problem with the filling of application man.
Else no way you woudn't have been called for with such qualifications.

[TheEagle]

"I refer to your application for the position of Cadet Pilot.

We have considered your application carefully, and regret to inform you that you have not been successful.

Your interest in the Singapore Airlines Group is appreciated."

If my application was wrong then i guess i wudnt hv got the reply....

[btommy]

Ohhh tht's weird. Sure you would get pissed for this.

[btommy]

did anyone from chennai or bangalore get a reply frm SIA?

[VT-RST]

From Mumbai, 21st May. No Reply yet!

To the few that got rejects today, TOUGH LUCK guys! Maybe something better is in store.

[VT-RST]

^ From my readings of all past posts, DEL Applicants haven't received their Results.

[aviator_0088]

People who appeared for the SIA Interview in Delhi; SIA is sending rejection mails now. One of my colleague has received the same. They may send the positive replies later (merely an assumption).
Good luck frnds :)

[KDD]

I have given my Interview in Mumbai.. on 20th..untill yesterday my status was 'Interviewing' now its blank..
Anyone with the same situation??
I have not recieved any e-mail as of now from them.

Hey guys you can add another to the growing list of persons whose status has changed from "Interviewing" to blank today!!

[sachinshets]

[abhimakam]

Hey ppl. A silly doubt... Is a degree in correspondence good enough to apply for SIA or any airline as such which requires 1?

[sqrahim]

All the aspirants, please be patient. all the rejection mails have been sent out. so the mail you will receive will bring good news.

[praanaav]

Looks like the next blast of emails myt be out soon guys lets wait n watch...

Status from Interviewing to blank CPL holder Mumbai!!!! best of luck ppl.....

[Spencer...]

guys any news from the sia hand???

[VT-RST]

Teaching all bit or two about Patience..:)

[easy-e]

This is going to sound incredibly naive etc, but why do we not see foreign carriers recruiting for Canadian pilots? Or have I missed the ads somewhere?

I haven't flown in 6 years after turning my life upside down to leverage the retirement wave & basically running into every lousy operator there was in BC, not to mention a few abroad. Now having just turned 50, the dream job has reverted back to a dream.

I have 20 years airline experience (6 of it inflight, the rest of it business end of it) and would gladly sign my life over to be able to fly right seat offshore for the next 10 years on a modern airliner.
Its not sour grapes, just sayin' :)

[KDD]

Can we still hope for something positive?????
I am not sure what to do, its so much wait after 1st round itself..I don't even want to imagine How much time its gonna take to complete the procedure.. :( :(
Its so much of frustration, to refresh your e-mail box and status page after every 15 mins with some hope at the corner of your mind and then every time you end up seeing NO-CHANGE anywhere..you again go back to your work with the same anxiety on your mind..:rolleyes::confused:

Well we should be hoping for the best and Prepared for the worst...!!
All the best to all of us!

[VT-RST]

^ Hold on mate!

[btommy]

Guys it's already evident that we will be called for the further process as all the rejection mails have been sent while we have received none. So indirectly it just means that we are in a safe zone and have been shortlisted for the further process. So no need to panic or worry and just start preparing for the further rounds no matter when they are gonna call but they will for sure. Also Singapore process is known for it's lengthiness as well as time taking. So just keep calm and be prepared before time.

[praanaav]

its either reject, select or on hold.............. so if no Reject there is a either off possibility. ive heard so not sure about that thou... can ne 1 back me up on this 1...

[VT-RST]

Post Edited .

[Stef d]

VT-RST did you message the HR department or miss JOyce directly

[KDD]

@ VT-RST
I think you are 2011 Eng pass out and hence you could not submitted your final marksheet at the time of interview (as it was on its way that time).

So I think this communication might have reached to the candidates who are appearing their degree course last year/semister.

Correct me if i am wrong.

thanks!

[VT-RST]

Anyways, :ok:

[VT-RST]

@Spencer: Don't worry!

[superdunkaroos]

Got a mail from them stating that the process is slightly delayed due to the sheer number of applicants.

[KDD]

Any further communication / news guys???

[KDD]

Hi, could any one share the information?
Has anyone got any further communication???
Please .......

[Gligg]

I haven't seen any mention of Salary or T's & C's... Does anybody have any numbers? Being bonded for seven years after FO could mean you are stuck for 14 years before you have options if you're not happy at SIA. Make sure you're not selling yourselves too cheaply boys - they may be big jets but will they be small paychecks?

[superdunkaroos]

What i have gathered so far regarding pay:

Cadets:
A level - 500
Diploma - 900
Degree - 1200

Post CPL - 1900

Second officer - 2500 + Allowances

if any one with more info would like to chime in

[starpanther]

second officer pay is 5000 SGD including allowances (Variable and approximate figure).....
(Sourced from a popular website)

[lemonboy]

:D why not roos this way we will know each other better man ...

[KDD]

Guys please share has anybody (either you, or your friend, or your friends friend) received anything on this?? I have not got any email after the one that states, my profile is under review.. :ooh::ugh::{

[LieDetector]

currently shortlisted candidates are being asked to verify their documents

[Spencer...]

what does that mean...???

have you got any mail...

[Iver]

General questions for people on this thread:

1. How many total Indians hired specific to this opportunity?

2. What is the likely aircraft type for newbies to start on?

3. Do people start with Singapore or one of the affiliated companies?

Good luck to all!

[superdunkaroos]

^^

What I gathered from the Interviewer during my questioning:

1) Roughly 700 appeared from all over India. Number to be recruited is not fixed as long you satisfy their minimums you move on(assuming after round 2 there will be a fixed intake)
2) Wide body
3) SIA, SIA cargo, Skoot

[rushedyou]

1) none hired yet, n chances look dim considering no one's heard from them for months.

2) SIA only operates wide bodies. so if ppl do get picked up, it's a big a/c right off the bat.

3) we were asked to fill in choices in order of preference between mainline SIA, silk air n cargo. skoot/scoot wasn't a publicly known idea when the round 1 interviews happened in india.

[LieDetector]

@rushed by you

selection process is slow, candidates shortlisted for second round are currently being asked to verify their original documents. Expected to be called within a month for the second round.

[rushedyou]

what verification r u referring to? i got a mail about a month n a half back asking me to give them some detail of my graduation final year exams. is this the verification process? besides, they seem to be inducting singapore cadets right now. dont think we figure in their plans right now...

[LieDetector]

Well guys with cpl were asked to verify their licenses last week from the issuing authority.
So expect a call soon from them.

and regarding them taking local cadets, that recruitment has been going on for sometime now. Even before they came out with the Indian cadet pilot program.

[guitarboy]

Does DGCA hand us a Verification Letter for Company Recruitment Purposes?

If yes, how and who to contact?

Also is this verification equivalent to considering that DGCA has checked the Hours and Flying Licences from your Flying School abroad?

[LieDetector]

I believe they should. Try getting in touch with the licensing department.

They are not worried about the hours, just your license. They will send you the email address of the person to contact for verification, all you have to do is forward the verification to Singapore.

[LieDetector]

Guys who sat for the 1st round, any idea how long after the 1st did they say the second round was going to be?

[sachinshets]

lie detector trying to find the lie????lol...:)

yeah it was told 4 to 6 weeks,..!!

[VT-JET]

Hello ppl,

I heard a few guyz from Mumbai were called for the 2nd interview to Singapore.

Can Some 1 confirm the same? Ne 1 from Chennai, Bangalore or Delhi who got called?

VT-JET

[LieDetector]

Are these rumours about Mumbai candidates being called for the second round true?
Or is it just another attempt at Inducing panic?

[P-One]

That is True....

[btommy]

so how many have been called and what are the dates given to them?Any idea when the candidates of the rest of the centers will be called?

[P-One]

They are usually called in batches of 8, 1 batch in a week....have no clue when the next set of candidates would be called.

[alberttky]

I wonder if they will join the local cadets for training.

[ITAviator]

Good to see some life on this link..

I know only two people from Chennai who got the invite about two weeks back for the next round in Singapore.
They have to pay about 21K for to and fro trip, rest is taken care by SIA. The stay is 3 days in Singapore and back.

I believe they might be sending the mails place wise, and Mumbai and Chennai are done.

[ITAviator]

The speculations have been sort of correct..
There were 8 people in the 7th or may be 8th batch that attended the interview round in Singapore last week.
Out of 8 guys (5 Mumbai+ 3 Chennai), 2 of them cleared the round and went through the medical.
So i guess, all people from Mumbai who had not received any mail from them have finished their second round by now. Chennai people might start receiving the mails henceforth.

[LieDetector]

I was told Chennai candidates were already being called starting mid november

[btommy]

Check your PM.

[superdunkaroos]

Anyone from Mumbai, Chennai want to share their 2nd round experiences?

[btommy]

@superdunkaroos which centre are you from and did you get an invite for the second round?

[LieDetector]

I'm amazed none of the guys from Chennai and Mumbai have posted their experiences.
Why all the secrecy?

[cornythactus]

Why all the secrecy?

Simple. It is each man/woman/child for themselves at this point in time. :-)

Competitive world, ain't it?

[ITAviator]

I got a reply from SIA finally. They have said due to change in recruitment plans they are unable to process my application and will come back to me later..
Anyone else got the same mail?

[LieDetector]

Yep it was quite evident from the other thread that recruitment of cadets had been stopped for now.

Expect a call sometime after April.

[VT-JET]

ITAviator (http://www.pprune.org/members/351408-itaviator) have you received the email after attending the second round or before it.

Just a little curious since I haven't received any emails yet. :sad:

Thx.

VT-JET

[sachinshets]

yup..even i got same reply... thank god atleast they replied..!

[ITAviator]

I have not attended the 2nd round..

Even guys who got selected in the 2nd round got mails saying it will be delayed for them. One of the SIA cadet from year 2007 was saying, they take 6 months after 2nd round, now that they r sending mails like this, it might be more wait than that for people who got thru the 2nd round..

[ITAviator]

Sorry if i created some confusion here.. The mail I received is:

Dear XXX,

I refer to your application for the cadet pilot position.

2. Thank you for having attended the interview on XX June 2011 in xyz. Due to changes in our recruitment plans, we are unable to proceed with the processing of your application. We will keep your application in our records and will contact you again when we resume our recruitment activities.
4. Your understanding is greatly appreciated

[RAC3RX]

@ITAviator (http://www.pprune.org/members/351408-itaviator)
Where did you attend your first round?

[btommy]

Isn't the same mail everyone got which is posted by ITaviator?

[ITAviator]

Initial interview: June '11..
I wanted to know if everyone has received this mail, or is it that only few unfortunate people have received this kind of mail..

[Spencer...]

have you been to round 2 or you just got this after your 1st round

[VT-JET]

Hey Guyz,

Any new Updates / Emails/ Rumors?

Just wanted to keep the thread alive.

Regards,
VT-JET

[imran_x66]

Is the SIA cadet programme still on?

[cornythactus]

Is the SIA cadet programme still on?


Yes. They are evaluating the applications from last time. Hopefully some good news for some of us.

[boeing_pilot]

Hi Guys,
At the current moment i don't think SIA is going to recruit people from India. As of the current news, SIA has excess FO asking them to go on Voluntary No Pay Leave. They r only gonna hire 60 cadets a yr from now on till a furthur date. which they will be able to from local singaporeans. Ony when the numbers are above 100 they start hiring from overseas. If you go to SIA website they have stopped recruiting. I know its bad news for all aspiring guys out there. Just pray that economy recovers and they start hiring so that you guys have a chance.
A trusted source from Singapore.

[RAC3RX]

@boeing_pilot (http://www.pprune.org/members/383856-boeing_pilot)
What about the few people who have already cleared their 2nd round interview and medicals and are waiting to sign their contract with SIA to start training. Do you think even they will not be called?

[boeing_pilot]

Yeah even those who cleared everything and waiting to sign the contract. Everything is stalled at the moment. Priority is always for the locals in Singapore. Only when they need more as mentioned earlier then they start hiring from India. There are many Singaporeans who cleared everything and waiting as well.
But don't let down your hopes. Hope for the best.

[superdunkaroos]

Last I heard it was on hold, will resume as soon as they start hiring.

Wishful thinking on your part.
