Cleared medical
Hi All,
This is my first post so warm greetings to all fellow aviation enthusiasts. Many thanks and appreciation to the previous contributors... it has been very helpful and resourceful to me.
Last thurs, I received the best 4 words I've ever heard " Go for your medical".
The medical lasted the full morning and now the wait begins. Anyone else cleared medical and waiting for HR to come back?
For those going for your 1st or final interviews, good luck and stay positive!
Best Regards,
Maestro

Hello everyone,
I'm a late bloomer, am 25 this yr and woke up way too late in life. Got into a local poly and will be completing my IS/IT degree in a couple of months time.
I have 6 'O level' credits but science is not one of them, am strong in physics but weak in chemistry, that resulted in a combined science grade of D7.
I have the intention of retaking my 'O level' science to meet the prerequisites however there is another clause which states "must be in one sitting".
Does that mean that unless I retake my entire 'O levels', I'm still considered a case even with better science results in another sitting?
Thank you.

in my understanding, yes "in one sitting"
you may ask why is this a "requirement" even if you may have a degree or diploma.
the "one sitting" criteria actually is to gauge how you can perform on the ground school where you have to tackle many subjects/papers concurrently within a very short time frame. also physics represents many topic cover in the ground school thus it's an issue of relevancy.
this is my past understanding, now may have changed.

Hi guys. Have been reading up on this thread lately and have noticed that many people are going to try and apply again in a year or so. So what are the conditions for an applicant to eligible to re-apply?

hi all!!
I received a confirmation email for cadet pilot interview recently. however, in preparation for the interview, i do have 1 main concern. i am 27 years old and have worked in a local company for 2+ years as a systems administrator. judging from the previous posts and feedbacks, i think i am going to be grilled with the question on why only apply as a cadet pilot now?
just wondering how would you all have approached this question? i am sure many of us have worked in the commercial world for a few years before deciding to give SIA cadet pilot a try.

seriously 2 years of working experience won't get you grilled on that question. Many guys have worked for a longer period than you since leaving poly. In fact as far as I can recall, there are two guys who were medical doctors before joining the company. From that profession to this, it deserves "grilling".
Besides, your response to questions should be honest. No point copying what others have said right?

singapore PR? you re most welcomed! We have an influx of "foreign talents" these days anyway. If you want to be a resident instead, I am pretty certain you have to undergo national service first.
