Gathering on 19 Aug
 

Hi Dennis,

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to meet you guys this Sunday. Anyone else going for the 29 Aug interview ? Don't be shy, join us. Mature support is needed.

15 more days to GOoooooo :8

fruitful meeting
 

Hi guys

I must say that it was a fruitful trip on sunday. Nice meeting u guys.

Nice to know you guys
 

Last Sunday gathering is very helpful to me too-- a lot of things I still need to gear-up for. Thank you very much guys for the advises and sharing of information. :)

I feel more calm now -- well, I think the more you want to be a pilot, the more calm you have to be in critical moment. 9 more days to go ... ... :8

I think I better stop eating so much that I might have problem in future ..... You know what I mean, WSSWSS.

Keep posting, guys. :ok:

For those going for their 2nd interview, all the best!!

I just gotten their reply today, going for my 1st interview on the 31st Aug.

Did not expect them to reply so fast as i just sent in my application on the 8th Aug, only took 13 days. My friend who applied beginning of this year took 4-5 mths for his 1st interview. Less applications at this period? :p

counting down
 

Hi guys

Counting down.... 7 more days to go....

cheers!!:ok:

2nd Meeting
 

Hey, will u guys be meeting again tis weekend? Could not make it
last sunday cos drank too much soft drinks on sat nite;)

2nd Meet-up
 

Hi Shyan,

For me, I intend to rush up my FYP on Sat & Study for the interview on Sun. Need a good rest too. This week a lot of works, a lot of machine commisioning back :eek: & alot of those 'stupid' electronic controls that go haywire ..

Counting down 5 days ......

Maybe we could all would meet up at on the actual day e.g. 8.00am in the training centre, before the 8.45am appt. What do you say guys ? ;)

** Hey WSSSWSS, I these few days eat vegetarian for almost every 1 meal of the day. Feel like lighter, haha. I think just skip the snacks and eat 80% full will do the job :>

2nd Interview Result
 

Gain a lot of advises from the friendly cadet pilots and valuable advises from the Chief Pilot. Like to say "Thank you very much". Although I did not make it but the experience is SHIOK. ;)

Congrad WSSWSS. So far what I know is that only you got in out of the 6 fellows. The remaining 4 no ideas. Although our meeting is short but very happy to meet you all. All the best to you, Dennis. Get a Korea girlfriend soon. Just check SIA website, they remove the cadet pilot post from the career section. FYI

Advise to others : must have very strong passion -- able to proof it to the interviewer.

Anyone know what is the requirement for 2nd chance to get the interview ?

Anyone took up the below PPL before from SYF ? Can share any tips ?

1. What will be the complete cost to obtain my PPL. The cost is about S$20,000 to 30,000 this amount will cover the flight training, ground school and books that are required during training.
   

maiden post
 

hi guys... i find this a very useful forum. u guys really are helpful... spent nearly an hour reading thru the 48 pages. anw i need some advice. i just completed my national service last week and wish to apply for the FLT OP Cadet Pilot on the SIA website. my concern is that i'm only 23 this year. would that be of disadvantage? should i wait till i'm 25? and another thing, who do i direct my cover letter to? i can't seem to find anyone in particular in the SIA website... and good luck to all of ya who got thru... i'm green in envy... cheers

Read the thread again. And again until you find the answer. The answer IS in there. Take it as good practice because if you become an airline pilot you will spend much time reading through pages and pages of manuals.

Why do you assume that you need a cover letter? Read the thread again.

Actually there is no mention of cover letter in the thread but the online application form has an entry with regards to the cover letter.

Although they would require only the resume/photos to be uploaded, if one has a cover letter and reference he/she can submit/attach it online together with their resume and photos.

This function is availabel under My Profile/Manage your files/Add.

1st round interview
 

Hi guys,

Anyone going for the 1st round interview on the 14th Sept? Having butterflies in my stomach now. I am a pilot wannabe that is trying for a mid-career switch. Just want to know is it just a sit down and question -answer session on Monday? or is it more than that? Jus don't like surprises.

Cheers

Hi redDevilz

I thought I'd better reply you first in case you get chewed off by some here for being too passive.

For the first interview, yeah. Pretty much just a sit down and question -answer session(sic). Nothing more than that.

All the best dude.

Cheers

Getting chewed off here is actually good. Prepares you for being chewed off at the interview...

Self Sponsored CPL/IR
 

Hi guys, I was not selected for the cadet pilot sponsorship but am thinking of doing my own CPL/IR with Singapore Flying College and then subsequently pursue a distance learning ATPL.

However, the Singapore Flying College Website, http://www.sfcpl.com/ doesn't seem to provide much information to the self sponsored course. Important details such as fees are not indicated.

Found the below website
http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/depts/bss.../prof/atpl.cfm

I was just wondering if the JAA ATPL is valid in Asia countries. I am a Singaporean and is considering settling down in Hong Kong, to look for jobs with Hong Kong Airlines.

Advices pls?
