How's the SIA Cadet scheme for internal staff going so far? Has the course started? Any news for Silkair DEC applicants?

@flying.monkeyz - first day was very slow. Orientation and easing into the course. Only met 2 of the instructors, very experienced IMO. Trying to make air law interesting is hard to impossible by any measure. Principal of flight is interesting in itself.

So far, I don't foresee much problems as I have some prior knowledge from my degree program. The challenge is to keep myself grounded and not be complacent.

Veins - Since you're already there and flying is your passion, enjoy every moment of it, good or bad. Not many have the opportunity to be where you are right now. All the best.

Maverick16 - Thanks, I am very lucky to be able to have the chance be here where i am, that I know. I will do my best.

sgcloudchaser - yup, if you don't start you will nvr even begin to have the chance to succeed. If you don't start you fail by default. All the best to you in your endeavours.

Veins101 did you try for CAE/3K?

Does anyone have the rough numbers of how many self-sponsored CPL Singaporeans there are?

STAA are churning out more.

STAA churns out very few private CPL holders, CAE on the other hand, is breeding them like rabbits.

Well, the reality is that 3K and others are always looking for 'good' staff.

The those with two left feet and runts are left in the dust.

Wonder where the airline owned by SIA and Tata in India will be recruiting it's pilots from. If even half the total number of pilots can be from the SIA group, SQ can resume its cadet pilot program tomorrow!

you should CSI the threads, SQ new training philosophy is well documented.

'Eight Echo' not for your consumption -just a general observation.

Vistara is sourcing its senior management pilots from SIA (Just a handful). Rest are from local carriers.
