Seems that they are fine with giving a second chance to those who didn't make it through the first round interview.
Many people (including myself) in this forum managed to get a second try.
There seemed to be an earlier discussion about the Application/Blank status earlier. Just to share my experience on it - I had my first attempt last year, and didn't make it past the first interview. By right, the waiting period before re-application was 6 months, but I 'by left' managed to re-apply 3 months later. My status then turned blank, and remained that way.
On the 6th month, I withdrew my application and re-applied again, and this time it got through and I was called up for an interview subsequently.
Hence I believe the blank status is indeed a form of rejection. However, there could be various reasons (eg. person is not yet 26, not yet past the 6 months window period etc), and once u clear the required waiting time, do try again and there will be a second chance. I even heard there was someone who got in only on his 4th attempt.
All the best to those trying!

jund013,
there may be a reply, or there may not be.
I have applied twice, and I got a reply only once. So no worries even if u did not get any reply after u confirmed ur attendance for the interview.
Dmits,
I know of someone in this forum who saw a blank status a few weeks after his first interview, and he was called up for second round shortly after it turned blank.
Hence, there could still be some hope, since u did not receive any rejection email.
Kurai,
All the best! When u see this ur interview is probably over. Hope all went well.
Kinkykin,
Heys! I'm going for the OBS in 26 Aug. Are you going too?

Salary is well known.
Non-recognised Degree = the take your second highest qualifications.
A Levels - $500
Diploma (Local Poly) - $900
Recognised Degree (can be PhD also same) - $1200
All subject to CPF.
Once you finish your CPL it goes up to $1900
I believe when you finish your fleet conversion and are online as a second officer, it's $2500 + allowances.

Just went for my interview today. As we took our place and registered our documents, tension was in the air. One of the candidates was trying hard to chat up the senior cadets who were helping us register, while the others were holding their silence in intense focus. I chatted a little with a few of the other candidates as we were waiting. One by one the candidates were called in, and as they left, their expressions were somber and their posture tired. Soon it was my turn.
I went in this small interview room, and there were these two senior pilot captains there. One was a British, who joined SIA for 16 years, the other was a Singaporean, who was a retired pilot now with the training school. Not much ice breaker, basically just asked "how was your day today?" and then they dived straight into the interview questions. They asked all sorts of questions, from HR to Business to Engineering to flying. The entire session felt like it was over in 10 mins, but when i checked the time after that, i realized half an hour had passed.
Their faces were enigmatic, I couldn't tell at all whether my answers were met with approval or not. At the end of the interview, they offered me my chance to ask questions and I left. Oh dear, I don't know how my chances measure up!
