is that a joke or is it for real ??????? :E

if it is over they they must intimate us first throw e-mail ...i dont think:= it is over guys

when it comes to rejecting candidates, especially cadets SIA does not response. They receive tonnes of cadet applications and u guys think they will respond? if u are not selected, or if the program is not going ahead as mentioned, then no point speculating cos u r likely to receive no replies at all.

Remember, they have no obligation to revert unless they are proceeding with your application.

If they have scrapped, they dont need 2 send email individually, its just automated. So if btw the prog is scrapped v will surely get an automated mail. n also the adv is still dere on there site, u can log on n check ur status- which is still showing ur submitted appln!!!

Yes i have applied for SIA

Hey buddies,

It hardly matters whether there r tonnes of applicants but auto-generated mails are always on. Even when they included "additional information", every applicants were intimated through an auto generated mail, so if the cadet pilot program is not on anymore, there shall definitely be an auto generated mail posted. Its still on but ya, what I can tell you from my personal experience with such programs is that they hardly recruit guys with no flying experience. They boldly advertise to say that no flying hours required but they hardly stick to it. I tried out my luck with the Etihad cadet pilot program but never worked out for me, but at least they were kind enough to at least let you know that "Your application has been reviewed an has been rejected" but now with SIA, they even dont hold that obligation. I just hope the aspiring pilots get through if they really deserve it.

I wish all the best to all!!!

By the way can anyone put light on the interview panel. I mean, should they come from Singapore or shall it be their representatives from India itself? I'm scared just because I dont know how to swim and that was a clause in the additional information column. I just hope its not among their pre-requisites!!!

There's nothing wrong with hitmanishere's post - it's a conversational, informal use of English. I can't figure out what Anand's trying to ask (or say). It might help if people spelt everything out instead of omitting letters.

I'll try to answer - there's no pilot CV unless you're already flying and have the hours to back it up. That's why the college takes in Ab Initio - send in a CV the same way you would to any other company.

There will be an aptitude test if you pass the first round of interviews but there isn't any real way to study for that - either you've got it or you don't. The only exams you'll have to take are after acceptance by SIA.

Hope that helps. All this information is already in the thread so do spend some time searching for it first.

I apologise
 

Hey Guys,
Sorry with my bad English :O.. and what i meant was said perfectly by someone there, thanks buddy ....where there is nothing like a Pilot's CV for a Newbie..

Can anyone let me know what need to be learn't for these kind of Cadet Program since this is gonna be my first time..

Please advice,

thanks
Anand

Anand,

To be pesimistic, you should consider yourself very lucky if you are at all called for the interview. It seldom happens that a lot have been called for the interview. If you remember SIA coming up with a Cadet Pilot Program for India only last year, there were many applicants but only a few were called for the interview. Well, now being optimistic, u should be prepared to answer at least the principles of flight and questions related to general aviation.
But can someone help me in guessing if swimming is a pre-requisite as I really dont know how to swim and I have confessed that in the "Additional Information", would be glad if someone can answer!!!

game over for that... no swiming = no interview.

thanks for being trueful with the system.

good luck!

great way to fly

@airbus_380,

r u really sure about that because had that been a pre-requisite, dont u think it should have been written in advance as the minimum height required is mentioned. n if u r sure about that, how did u come to know about it? These assumptions are purely based on my thoughts, is it the same with you?

HI,

YA, im sure.... 50m of swimming is a requirement. for all SQ cadets this can be seen in the application form prior to goin to an 1st rd interview.

good luck to you guys. I do not assume as asumming will "make a ass out of you and me"... factual information only. Read my previous postings and you will know why.

hope you guys here go do some read up on all threads prior to asking and waiting for people to spoon feed the answers to you guys.

great way to fly

metallicwings
 

Hey airbus_380,

which application r u speaking about, well the career portal online mentioned about 100m of swimming but anyways both affect me adversely but u can rather be modest in replying whether u assumed or not, may be all this while i sit and n watch ur threads n finally when i figure u out, u turn out to be all "****", n one more thing, u know, one who boasts knows very little!!!:hmm:

Airbus_380 is right, cant swim, no chance! Even cabin crew have this requirement.

There are tonnes of info here and please do a search before posting answers. And u Indian wannabes have started another thread and still add post to this thread, please, once u start another thread, stick to it!

and Rem SIA dun owe u guys any answer, and u guys just expect everything to be in black and white, like Swimming requirement. Use ur brain, if it is not a requirement, why would it be ask?

I hope i dun have to fly with u guys in future. 3-4 years back, i have wannabes who PM me and ask question with humility and give me my due respect, and no surprises that many are now FOs.

Was that necessary??
 

metallic,

Do you really have to call airbus_380 "****" ? That's just plain rude!

I sent you PM
 

Hi AiRBuS_380, I sent you PM. Did you receive it?

bloody rude
 

Yes Hewland

Extremely rude. Really hope I wun see him 3 years down the road in SQ aircraft!!!

They way he talks like SQ owes him a living! Come on, just a cadet wannabe and talks like a Chief Pilot!

"I hope i dun have to fly with u guys in future. 3-4 years back, i have wannabes who PM me and ask question with humility and give me my due respect, and no surprises that many are now FOs"

SQ111, what due respect are you talking about. You think that just by the virtue of being a pilot, people should start respecting you? what an insane joke!

And guys please feel free to post on either thread for information, noone owns this forum.

On_the-Right

I am not asking to be respected just becos of being a pilot. But I mean wannabes who are humble enough to ask politely and thank for every answer. Not just to come to forum and keep asking and speculating!

And calling people **** is certainly unbecoming and disrespectful for these wannabes who may not even know how to drive!

Even qualified pilots who ask about DEC positions in SQ ask in this forum politely, just see the thread in SIA DEC. These are qualifed captains and they do give due respect to whoever they are directing questions to!

Just wondering..:O What happens if somebody lied??? I'm not saying I lied.. Just putting me in some liars shoes..:suspect: Will they ask us to swim a 100m long olympic swimming pool during the selection process??:} I hope not!!!

Ho ho ho buddy....:8I suggest you take you arse straight in front of a mirror and look at yourself(ie,If you have one):ouch:...Oh! and make sure you turn on the lights....:}

If I were you, I would atleast send a note of apology to Airbus_380...

"I do not assume as asumming will "make a ass out of you and me"... factual information only. Read my previous postings and you will know why.

Now how about that folks? Whom is he spoon feeding? He is not doing any favour to anyone being a part of this forum. The motive of this forum is to share the informations we have, no matter howsoever little it might be. N how abt "make a as....". I just did not like the way he presented himself.

Moreover guys, if you read closely what I had posted, I did not call him a "****", I said, I may go through all of his previous threads with patience and then finally figure out to be of no use.

sq111, I wish someone drills some logic into your head.

I would definitely apologise from airbus_380 only if he accepts that his presentability was also unpleasant. I'm sorry, but I fail to understand why guys from Singapore are going crazy over my last post?

Well, I also fail to understand why you wannabes cant do a simple search and also go crazy over a missing application? Or make some speculative comments.

Drill something into my head? oh pur...lease...... Nobody owes u a living.

Can't be bothered with u immature wannabes anymore. I am out of here.... I have helped many people answer their queries before in the past and I have nothing to prove.

metallicwings
 

what do u mean by "u wannables", who r u then, "acheivers"? come on, gimme a break, otherwise even, you would be the last one I would seek a help from!!!

@metallicwings

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:..no good amigo..!!

please maintain the decorum of the forum..!! and sq111 and airbus do contribute a lot here.. do read previous posting and think before you right ..

and considering your posts i make out that you are not a pilot as yet I may be wrong... then let me tell you Pilots not just fly the airplane from point A to B.. if you get selected as a cadet some years down the line you would be the face of Singapore airlines when you walk in front of the waiting passengers.. and your attitude and behavior does matter a lot then.... I hope you understand what I am trying to say here..

and Please you cannot get selected with this attitude.. be 1000% sure about that..

I request you to please improve and maintain the decorum.

All wannabes who are writing in concern with the SIA Indian program please direct your posts over here : http://www.pprune.org/south-asia-far...ts-2008-a.html :)

go search the thread and see how many times I helped wannabe cadets.

Now with such an attitude when u dun even have a flying license, all i can say good luck to your application.

metallicwings
 

Thanks Psnake for that link, that is a much better help but I disagree to rest of your comments, anyways now it hardly matters!!!

hi there,

i said that i never "assume" as "assume = making a ASS of U n ME" READ THE CAPS!. I hope to only shed information which are factual, and i was call a **** liar whom is boastful. well, thanks to all of you as well as the group of "candidates" at the other thread, shouting and making a big matter of such requirements. I will definetly feedback about the application written up as100% concise for the overseas recruitment 3 or 4 full page with fine prints advertisment ads. Thanks for the tips and making us improve.

SWIMMING IS A MUST! yes i will also feedback to throw you guys into the pool and make you swim a few laps to ensure all can swim. since we got a big pool at our facilities.

What i meant by another application form is referred to the written form (NOT ONLINE) IF YOU ATTEND THE 1st INTERVIEW. that will indicate the subsequent requirements and checklist SQ will need to assess candidates.

god dam it... i ask that metallicwings to read the threads pertaining to CADETSHIP ETC and do not keep asking where answers are already posted. Is he poor in english or am i poor at typing.

anyway i do not give a dam for that havoctic issues he created as I been through and done that path many years back perhaps when his still a young boy. Being appreciative doesnt help. that ediot would just wan people to tell him that swimming is not a criteria. (the 21 days OBS prior to flying will determine your swimming ability eddiot).

end of the day young man, you will still not make it through even if you got an interview which i doubt it will happen. and yes. i will ensure my feedback on this issue gets to the respective personnel doing the interviews a INDIA.

great way to fly

You seem to have some typos in your post..:8
:{:{:{

no offence 380, but i think your feedback will not affect the SIA selection process in anyway.

airbus 380

no worries about swimming. even they somehow make it through the interviews, and offered a contract and sign thinking that finally they qualified for flight training in SFC, then go OBS..... when it comes to swimming, that is where all their dreams will end. Dun even need to throw them to STC pool.

With ETOPS getting so common, wonder how these people think swimming is not a requirement???? Din they know ETOPS means Engines Turn Or Pilots Swim?????

Bravo
 

:}.... nice definition of ETOPS man...y didnt I think of that ...

and people who dont know how to swim , its just a question of a weeks training so there is no need to panic about that ....I hope anyone can spare a week for SIA :ok:

and whoever said ETOPS is only over water :)

On_the_right

Well, ETOPS doesnt refer to over water only for sure. It refers to single-engine flight times between diversion airfields—regardless as to whether such fields are separated by water or land.

about the swimming requirement.
 

hi all,

about the swimming part, they would probably ask u if u can swim a certain distance with a flotation device of some sort, which anyone can unless u have hydrophobia.

so no worries for all the 'army-divers' wannabes. show positive attitude and good personality and your chances of getting selected wld be high.

Rejection ???
 

My question might sound very trivial but I will appreciate if somebody can help me with that ....SIA has put pn its website that they wont be informing us of rejection but would the status of our application show that it has been already reviewed or will it always show "job application" for thet whole 120 days ??? Thanks in advance

If you've been reviewed and rejected it will show "Rejected"

@grvailshery

dude Did u ne Reply from SIA ..
since ur app got disappeared so wht's new..
ne update so far??

Thanx
