ok im so sorry i should have grouped my qns together.

1. Does the medical examination for SIA cadets ask for NS PES status?

2. Does a PPl from SYFC count for anything in the resume?

3. i just turned 24 years old and will be graduating from NUS in 3 months. i still have about a year and a half before i am eligible to apply (26 years old). anyone can recommend me on what i should do during this period?

i was thinking of applying to an air transport training college or maybe work somewhere related to the aviation industry, but i have no specifics.

Thanks guys!

hi silentkitten,

1. No, it does not. But if it's a serious injury, you'll need to declare it during medical or whenever appropriate.

2. If you are asking if having a PPL with SYFC gives you an advantage, my answer would be that I do not think so. However, it does show your interest in aviation, which is good in a way.

3. I suggest you find some work to do, not necessary something in the aviation field. Perhaps save some money within this 1+ years because if you do get into the cadet-ship program, your income will be minimal.

Good Luck!

hi flight86,

Can you confirm the medical does not request for PES status? I remember when I attended the medical for SIA Cabin Crew that male applicants had to declare their Pes statuses. Shouldn't Pilots pes status be a factor?

Just checking. cheers

I wouldn't worry so much about the PES status if I were you. Just be aware about the nature of your injury. The army doesn't downgrade you to PES C easily so it should be quite bad. And if it's bad enough for a military post it doesn't work well for a pilot. But as you said it's temporary so it wouldn't be a big deal and you will be upgraded. Unless you know your injury is a bad one, then you are better off consulting a doctor than to ask us.

Hi. I'm quite certain they're not bothered by PES status as long as you can pass your class 1 medical.

anyone knows how long does it take for the job portal to remove the withdrawn application?

I've clicked withdrawn almost more than 6 months ago, but the application is still not deleted and i cannot apply for the same position (ground crew)

Might have to give them a call and it should be pretty easy for them to remove it for you.

reapplying after failing 2nd interview

hi guys, I failed my 2nd interview in 2006. Now I want to become a pilot again but i have worked for 6 years in an unrelated job to aviation. Can i reapply for interview or I have to take my own PPL to apply again? In this six years i have been saving up money for PPL.

So now I wanted to ask you guys what are the updates in reapplying after 6 years? Thanks!

Good to know passionate.aviator that days are nearing for intake
Is there anyway I can apply for cadet pilot trainee now? or should we need to wait until ad posted on SIA site to apply?

i dont think we can apply now. i m not sure if there is a way. i guess we need to wait until the positions open up on the SIA career page.

With only 80 cadet pilot position up for grab, I won't be surprised if they will just clear the backlog of applications they already have...

Hi Flying Monkey,

how about Cargo and Silkair? Would the demand from there increase the intake thus opening up the career page? We've been waiting waiting anxiously.

80 cadet positions are for the entire SQ group, including Cargo and Silkair.

Next financial year is not looking good for cadet recruitment.
