Hi guys...1st time posting here...will be going for my 1st interview on 9th Mar tho it wont be my 1st try 
. My last try was last Jan. There has been some changes in the email that was sent to inform us. I remembered the last one asking me to reply "ONLY if i CAN'T make it" while the latest one requests for a reply to confirm my attendance.
kenny008:- wat kinda "receipt" did u get? i didn't receive any "receipts"...
aviator123:- which session will u be in on 9th Mar? I'm in the AM session...
moccajava:- u too?

Hi flyfriendlyskies,
haha i think you'd get into the interviewer's good books if they ask you for your forum user name!
as for me... I had to miss out on the 28th interview with Perrier... hence am crossing my fingers, toes, legs, hands, arms and neck waiting for another invite to the 1st interview.
although the dress code is kinda obvious, I heard from a friend who went for the interview that somebody DID come in jeans and t-shirt!!!
I think if he really made it its either a miracle!
Perrier, good luck for today's interview. Do keep us informed.

Hello all out there. I got two questions that i need help to be answered. 1) Does anyone know that if having a degenrative disc in your backbone will disqualify you from passing the SIA medical test. I was give a temporary PES C2L2 for six months and due for a medical review, most likely to be reverted back to PES A. 2) Do SIA really look at your PES status in NS as a guide to your medical health? I'm really not sure whether to remind mindef about my review ( They forgotten all about it ). If SIA does not care about your PES status,then I am not going back for a review. Thanks in advance.

Haha...if only it's so easy...don't worry, they'll call u up again. In fact, i missed my 1st interview last time and had to call them (plus email) to explain. thankfully, i got another chance, but blew that chance and didn't get thru the 1st round...so here i am again...waiting to go for the 1st round of interview...

Well, to be frank, I cant really recall everything that happened...I only recalled it started badly...the interview was supposed to be at 2:45pm but I guess there were delays in the morning & I ended up being the last guy to go into the room...the 2.5 hour wait certainly didn't help calm my nerves I guess...then when I was inside, I totally screwed up everything...answered their qns but I knew I didnt do well enough...In the end, the email came 2 weeks later thanking me for the time...blah blah blah...regret to inform me I wasn't successful blah blah blah...
My advice is...be honest with yourself & with them too...They are all very experienced at what they do, so no point trying to smoke them... Just be yourself, and try to enjoy the session with them

Just wondering. What happens with those visual acuity that are correctable? Does it mean pilots are still to use their lenses/spectacles while flying or is some permanent solution like Lasik being offered?
Never seen any SQ pilots using glasses though...

I'm sure you will bump into SQ pilots wearing glasses one day.

Hi, just thought that with many of you going for your interviews soon, you may want to have a look at something I posted quite a long time ago right after my interviews. Some of the info may be outdated already, so pls don't take it all as the gospel truth. Still, I hope the basic info may be of some use. You can find the thread here.

or just search for the thread titled My SIA Interview Experience.

aspiring pilots
just a piece of information
to join SQ u must be 500 degrees and below for each eye.and during my time which is like 5 years back i got in with my eyes lasik. and now lasik is alright for SQ as long as your eyesight before lasik must not be more then 500 degree.and of cos u will need to do extra post before and after reports to submit to both SIA and CAAS..
cheers
