Hi Hondasan, my first interview was on 18 November. So far no news from them. How about you?
|
Mine too was on that same day. No reply from them..
|
Hondasan -> Thanks for that info.:)
Anyone else went for their first interview on 18 November and received anything from SIA thereafter? Please share, thank you.;) |
purplehearts - the cabin crew application isn't down. the up-coming one is happening on the 3rd of December. where did you see it was down?
|
Just got news from a very reliable source that the intake of SIA GROUP cadets will be 80 for FY12/13. So for those of you applying, the competition is surely heating up. Good luck. :ok:
|
Thanks flying.monkeyz!
Any updates from SIA for those pilot wannabes who have recently attended their first interview?? Why is the forum so quiet? Where are all the pilot wannabes?? :) |
flying.monkeyz - thanks for the update! when do you reckon the program will reopen again? Cheers!
|
flying.monkeyz
where do you get the source from? i try to look at their website and no position available.
|
It's for financial year 2012 / 2013. Singapore financial year starts on 01 April, so I assume they will probably start advertising again not long before that.
Trust me with the source. :ok: |
flying.monkeyz - you might be right. i remembered earlier this year it was about the same period when I saw the position. I applied in early May and presume it should have opened during April.
You flying with SIA now currently Flying.monkeyz? |
yannisoar - I'm not flying with SIA.
|
were you from Singapore originally? which airline are you flying for? just wondering what other alternatives people take other than the SIA cadet program to pursue their flying dreams? I guess it is to fund the CPL license yourself and hopefully get a job in other airlines? However, which airlines will hire someone fresh out from flying school??
|
yannisoar - Yes I am from Singapore. I'm not flying for any airline.
Well, as far as flying dreams go, that depends on how you define "flying dreams". Many people equate flying to airline flying but there are many other flying options e.g. flight instructing, private jets, medical evacuation, etc. So it truly boils down to what kind of flying you want to do. A true aviator will fly anything that flies, not only commercial airliners. In Singapore, besides the SIA cadet program, one can also try the Jetstar cadet program or the Tiger's MPL program with STATA. If you have the ADDITIONAL $$$ to spend after self-sponsoring your own CPL/IR, you can always think about investing in a A320 type-rating course, and if you have cables to 3K / TR they may take you in. No guarantee though. I have one of my fellow coursemate flying in Indonesia at the moment. So if you're not fussy about staying in Singapore and are willing to venture out, there are flying opportunities out there. Just gotta know where to look. And be patient. Good things never come easily. It's a lot of hard work, many times involving heartaches. But once you get it right, the reward is priceless. |
good news for those with overseas license is that CAAS has reduced the total time requirements from 700 to 200. still need employment by local operator though, but that means maybe jetstars advanced cadet programme is within reach of non-air force guys.
|
flying.monkeyz - thanks for the insights. what you've said about passion for flight is so true. a person who is truly passionate will be happy to fly anything, anywhere as long he/she gets to fly.
|
Thanks flying.monkeyz for sharing!:ok:

from mynameisjon good news for those with overseas license is that CAAS has reduced the total time requirements from 700 to 200. still need employment by local operator though, but that means maybe jetstars advanced cadet programme is within reach of non-air force guys. For those of you who wants to convert foreign licenses to CAAS and have to write all the exams again, something to consider is that CAAS will change their current syllabus to JAA syllabus sometime around 1H next year. So make sure you're studying the right stuff. Good luck. |
from flygosh: Any updates from SIA for those pilot wannabes who have recently attended their first interview?? Why is the forum so quiet? Where are all the pilot wannabes?? http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/smile.gif Heard an SQ CP that they are trying to get CAAS to approve the Second Officer course on the A330. Once that's approved then the queue for 777 should be reduced substantially. As I mentioned the number of cadets that they're taking next year is gonna go way down to 80. So with the limited number of vacancy, for those applying, make sure you spruce up on your interview preparation. |
Hi flying monkey, thanks for all the info!
Btw, what was this year and the year before intake numbers? How much of a cut is it to the upcoming 80 for the next FY? |
From Dahawk: Btw, what was this year and the year before intake numbers? How much of a cut is it to the upcoming 80 for the next FY? |
The remaining 40 might be for the Indian as their interviews are still going on...
|
The 120 that have been selected, ahve they started their training or awaiting medical final selection(sorting)?
and when does the training for these cadets start? Are they divided into batches? |
Yes the bulk of them are being trained now. And yes, they are divided into different batches.
|
Hi to the guys who went for the interview on 18th Nov.
Did you guys get your reply yet? I got an email yesterday that basically said they're not proceeding with the 2nd round of interviews in December, but they'll inform me when a date is fixed? I guess this means they have suddenly decided to stop hiring for now? Anyone got a different kind of reply? |
Hi rimshot, it is great to hear that you have some news.
I went for the interview on 18th Nov too, but I did not receive any email from SIA. :sad: When exactly did you receive the email? How is the email worded? Are they not proceeding with the 2nd round interviews, or are they not letting you proceed on with the 2nd round interview? If you don't mind, do paste your email in the forum (without the names). Anyone else who was interviewed on 18th Nov, and was invited to the 2nd interview? Do share with us. Thanks. |
Received the mail about 12noon yesterday.
I'll PM you, just in case they are sensitive about such things. Although there's not much written in the email. |
I believe SQ is slowing down on the recruitment that's why they are not proceeding with Round 2 until later. Maybe they want you guys to be in the FY12/13 pool.
|
When would the batches for that recruitment start their training?

So they can expect a call for the second round sometime between February and April, right?
Also do you have any clue regarding the Indian cadet selection, last I heard they had called guys for the 2nd round from the first two cities who had appeared for the first round back in the summer in India, can the remaining to expect a call in December ? or is it unlikely now? |

A few questions:
Anyone submitted their application on 14th Nov or after? Also, will they call you up or email you to arrange for the first interview? |
Ahhh I see, thanks for answering those queries.
Appreciate it! :ok: |

Need some advice on my situation
I'm 21, just finished NS and want to apply for the SIA Cadet Pilot Programme. Everybody i know tells me the age limit is 26. Also, I read somewhere that the age limit is to reserve the talent pool for the RSAF. However, i was a pilot trainee with the RSAF. I passed the aptitude test, interview, medical and signed on as a regular. Then went to Tamworth, Australia for Airgrading where we flew the BAE CT/4B. However, i was ex-ed at australia and so my military flying career ended there. Question is, will SIA waive the age requirement in my case? And will they be biased against me? Since i was a pilot trainee with the airforce. Thanks
|
During my time about 5 yrs ago... nope.
|
Hi I'm a PR but i'm half english and half taiwanese. Does this effect my chances of applying to join the RSAF? Been practicing on COMPASS tests and everything. Let me know! Good luck getting into SIA
|
I think the RSAF is strictly for citizens only. Feel free to try out SIA though...
|
hey flying, any idea when the next round of recruitment starts?
