Unless you're a Captain, DCA / Malaysian immigration doesn't allow non-Malaysian to be FO.

Singaporeairlines should be careful what you write,
Take note of your comment all these WHITE Pilots and My MALAY Nephew. etc etc,

That alone shows you to be racist, No I didnt acuse you but take note of what you write. Any professional would write the FOREIGN pilots in Whichever country you are talking about and refer to myself As the Countryman you are from or is Singapore suffering from segregation?.

Sorry if you think you are been done out of a Job, I dont work there by the way. Maybe you could be more constructive and take this up with your Government rather than post on here, dont think you will achieve much doing what you do. Glad I dont have to fly with you too, met too many of your type.

Hey izzy, have heard that Indonesia is indeed starting to look outside of it's borders for pilots. Is anyone else able to confirm this for the guys looking?

With the move of the Air Asia boss to Indonesia, I would suggest that this may be the case in the near future for 'parts' of AA as well perhaps. Would be worth a look into either way.

Indonesia has always look outside for pilots as the local pool is simply insufficient to satisfy demands. The only thing people gotta be prepared for is to pay for own type rating, and low pay for low rank pilots.

there are plenty of indonesian pilots working outside of indonesia... i think their main problem is keeping them in indonesia.

9M. Nice to see this thread started.

It is definitely not easy to want to choose flying as a career if you did not go through the SAF/SQ route.

Hope to see your site as a truly for Singaporeans and does not degenerate into for profit referral system

hey guys, quick question.

Does having too many hours on a PPL have an adverse impact on chances for cadetship?

Not really... it truly boils down to the interview.

I think Tiger is hiring….no harm trying for those interested in the scheme with collaboration with STAA.

AAC, does your company provide cadetship, or looking for trained pilots?

Half correct! The underline sentence only apply to those without jet-time or type-rated guys.

In another words, without jet-time or type-rated hours, DCA/Malaysian Immigration will NOT accept them to be First/Second Officer.

Foreigners with jet or type-rated hours are still welcome to apply. To get priority in the interview, applicant needs some sort of connection.

I heard from one Chinese Tan-Sri who he has helped to pull in a Singaporean into Firefly! I have came across many real-life stories about pulling connection.

I have been through many aviation gatherings both locally and overseas and I've met all kind of people. Especially, in Asia, one common phenomenon I discovered is, "ang-moh" has no power in doing connection, and they only know how to talk "cock" and talk "big"!

Believe me or not, it is not what you know, but who you know.
