Scoot Airlines

Anyone know someone at Scoot Airlines that can give some feedback? Are they hiring 777 pilots or taking internally from Singapore? Thanks.

They have advertised on Flight International magazine a new months back looking for 777 pilots.

Word is that they will be looking at their own pilots although chances are they'll probably have to "borrow" some from SQ if they can't find enough themselves.

See previous thread in this section. Plenty there.
Recruiting for flighties now, pilots finished until next year- have enough for the operation. Only a few SQ internals, the rest experienced outsiders employed from elsewhere.
No doubt they'll advertise mid year for further positions.

Scoot's pilots are all hired externally, with the bulk being non B777 type rated... The only SIA pilots are the flight ops management team. They've also taken on some of the old expats that retired from SIA at 62, retirement with Scoot's 65. The airline should be opening up for new hirings by the end of 2012, to crew the 777s coming in next year on. Apparently 777 type rated pilots are very welcome but hard to come by.
