Working for an airline at the moment. Aeronautical engineering background.

Oh great! Then it's should be easy for you. In my case im a mechanical engineer with 5 years of experience in oil and gas industry. No aviation field experience at all.

you dont have to have aviation experience. Many in the program come from a variety of backgrounds, lowers, medicine, engineering etc

Alright thanks man. Hope i will get through.

Could anyone share any info on what's conducted during the pre-employment medical for SIA? Heard of people passing the CAAS Class 1 but not getting through on the pre-employment medical.

I think the prelim interview is to separate those who are there to try their luck from those who really want to fly for a living.

From what I gathered in this thread you'd be alright if you can prove you're one of the latter.

It depends on whether anything was flagged up during your CAAS class 1 medical.

There's some divergence between Caas class 1 and Sq's own review.

Caas' is an annual health review that clears you to fly for 12 months.

Sq is concerned with the cadets long term health status. A cadet that can clear c1 this annual cycle but might not clear the next cycle or subsequent years is of no use to them when it's a partially sponsored programme.

Interview
 

Hi anyone from Malaysia got invited for preliminary interview?

Have you got the invite?

Haven't. Status still showing in review. I applied on 15th july. Modified twice. Wondering if anybody else got invited for preliminary interview.

That's just about two weeks ago, they're probably still shortlisting. This one is the one for Malaysians?

Yeah for Malaysian. Because im following another forum. But there mostly Singaporean. Few of them got invited for preliminary interview on 19th. Thats why wondering if anyone from Malaysia also got invited.

Thanks man. You applied as well?

Wow! Congratulations and Good luck for your medical.

Why do you guys comment so worthlessly? What was the purpose of collecting cadet names of all batches?

What we need to know is, how is the program and its duration from zero to right seat? What is the outcome of all SIA cadets? SO or FO? How much do they pay?

The answers to your questions can be found in the many pages of this forum and also on one other certain forum.

Hi folks

Did anyone receive a prelim interview invite for the 5 6 october in KL today?

Edit: got my dates mixed up!

​​​​​​You got called? I'm still waiting to be called.

Hi Viknesh

yeah got called, looked high and low, seems there arent many Malaysians talking about the interview on October 5th and 6th.
did u manage to receive an invite yet?

I haven't received invitation for interview. Applied a month ago. Still status showing in review. Modified twice. How was your interview?

My interview is in october, i miswrote the previous post, applied in mid june and received an email from them on the 8th of august.
Did you check your spam box or anything? My status on their website actually still says "in review"

Oh i see. Yeah nothing in spam also. Btw how old are you? Do you have aviation experience?

25 this year, came from acct and finance background. How old are you? You met all their required listed qualifications? Hopefully you get a call up soon! Hopefully we can meet at the interview in October.

Im 28. Mechanical Engineering background. I met all their requirements. I hope the same man. Thank you.

All the best. There's actually quite a number of Malaysians in the process. On my final interview day, 7 people turned up, assuming there's a final interview session in SG every month since they started in 2018, the numbers that made it to the final interview could be high now.

Hi. Anyone know how to contact SIA Hr?

Thanks for the insight Little Birdie, may I know since its a 2 day event, is the interview and the aptitude test conducted on two different days?
On the other hand, how did your medical go!

For me the preliminary interview in KL was done on one day, it was just a short half hour session. Then the next stages were in SG which are aptitude test, essay, final interview and tea party. These were all done in one day.

If it's any help it would be advisable not to contact the recruitment team at this stage. Believe they sift through a pool of thousands of applications and it just takes time to shortlist. I have been applying countless times every time the ad for ab-initio comes out, since way back in 2017. Only in April 2019 did I get a favourable response, one which I wasn't sure to which application I made. Could have been early 2019.

Don't worry about it Viknesh, i applied in June and only received the invite in August.

True man. Thanks for the guidance. I'll just wait for their call.

Thanks man. I'll just wait for their call.

Hey jztan9, I'm going for this. See you there! Anyone else?

Hi Kenminc, is the group still active? I can't seem to whatsapp you, please pm me. Thanks buddy

Until you have a posting history you don't have access to private messaging and adding urls.

Hey yeahnah,

Are you able to receive my PM? message me on Whatsapp if you are able to!

Hi all, would like to check with any applicants who have recently (within last 2 months) received the magic call from SIA. How long did you guys have to wait after completing the initial class 1 medical?

Thank you and much appreciated.

I'm going for up-coming interview at KL too. Do you guys have a whatsapp group?
