Hi tango81,
You've already passed the 2nd interview last year and they ask u to wait till this year? I don't get it. I am planning to apply for the cadet program this year. It means people like us will have a slimmer chance?
Do you mind enlightening me?
Thanks

Hi
Hi quik12,
I went thru both last year. So have waited since. I am not too sure about the quota issue. But if I may, my take is don be too worried over it and apply when you are ready to make flying as your career. Importantly is you must have the passion and determination to get you thru all stages. All the best!

Re: Applications
Well, to those who wants to apply, it'll be advisable to do so after turning at least 25. If not you might not get an immediate response or will only get one on a much later date. (Which you will then have a lot of uncertainties etc.)
However, there isn't a rule that you cannot apply earlier so it's pretty much up to you. The application window is still closed so maybe you guys might want to apply when it opens again.
However, bear in mind you won't be able to start training until you turn 26. So it is advisable to find some other work to do for the time being.

SIA pilots asked to volunteer for no-pay leave
Singapore Airlines (SIA) has asked its pilots to volunteer for up to two years' no-pay leave amid a business slowdown.
This is being asked of the more than 1,000 cadets, second officers and first officers in its ranks, The Straits Times has learnt. Captains are not affected.
In a recent staff circular, SIA said that pilots who are open to the idea have until the end of this month to apply for between a week and two years of no-pay leave. During the time, they will be allowed to work for other carriers, subject to the company's approval.
SIA spokesman Nicholas Ionides, confirming that the offer has been made, said: 'We view the surplus-pilot situation as temporary, and are, therefore, managing this by introducing the voluntary no-pay leave scheme.'

i guess it shouldnt coz SIA prepares for the future well in advance. by the time SIA trains the cadets who will be selected in april it would be 2 to 2.5 yrs down the line until they finish training and market might improve by then.
