First Interview Coming Up

Hey guys,

I'm a newbie here, just registered but have been browsing through this forum every now and then for the past few years now.

Have been called up for my 1st interview next week, was really surprised how quick it was as I only submitted my application 3 weeks ago.

It's really good to hear from everyone in this forum, seems there's lots of camaraderie among forum users, which I find very heartening and encouraging.

Well wish me luck, and will keep you guys updated on my progress.

Good luck, Commando and A369.

Herman, I think they don't hv intakes every month. They prob hold interviews once a month. I'm not sure myself. I know how worrying it is, being in your shoes myself.

Does any cadet pilot hv any advice for someone who's waiting for the next intake (e.g myself)? Shd I be reading anything?

Thanks and best regards.

Hi Jessie,
Thanks for the info mate...hope everything turns out well for you. Hope the same for me too....
Did they allow u to choose cargo or was it offered to you...
I read somewhere that they have the preliminary interviews every other week...the second phase(final) interviews, i am not very sure but i know that they even had two batches in a month sometime last year. The OBS intakes i am not sure also but gathering from some info's...it does seem that their intakes are quite frequent.

can anyone comment please.


hi commando....Best wishes to you man....

A369....Good luck to you..

hii Jessie, Herman, A369, commandozx

Herman: We ain't allow to opt for SQ, Cargo or Silkair, it was offered to you... Intake is about 20 cadets per month.

JessieBlue: Heard that you'd tender your resignation on your current job. Do give Cargo HR a call, there're tons of applications out there and they might be waiting for u to update them while you are here waiting for them. Andreas is a nice lady to speak to.
Erm... To give you a brief intro: the CAAS tech paper will be 6weeks later from the day you start ground school:
1) Theory/Fundamentals of Flights
2) Airframes System
3) Electrics
4) Piston Engines/Basic Gas Turbine/Propellers
5) Weight & Balance - Loading
6) Radiotelephony.
Hope I didn't miss out any.
But, not to worry as the instructors and seniors are ready to help you to get through with it. For the time being, just ENJOY YOURSELF while you still can!!..

A369: Keep us posted, GOOD LUCK!

commandozx: woooohooo... finally heard you starting your OBS!!... Seeya in Seletar when you return from your OBS in May man... Btw, OBS in Ubin or Lumut?

Robbie_collins: stop your rubbish here dude... I had read your posting on the other thread. You sound like a rejected applicant who goes around trying to create some conflicts.

[herman111]

hi TinyBrain

Hi bro,
Thanks for the info man...really appreciate it...

Is SQ also taking cadet for mainliners....as i have come across many who are offered cargo...have not heard of any in silkair too. are the intakes mixed with cadets SQ mainline,cargo and silkair or seperated according to their sub companies???

thanks again

[Jessie Blue]

Hi Brainy!

Hi, Brainy! Good to hear from you again.

Yes, Andrea is relatively nice to speak with but I've really sent her many emails and called her so many times that she must find me very irritating!

She has only one answer for me: Joyce hasn't given her a date
Funny thing is, if there's an intake of 20 per month, why doesn't she just slot me in the month of June (when I'm slated to leave my current job) or something?



Thanks for the tip, Brainy, I am so going to mug up on those topics you mentioned. No point wasting time eh?

Hope to hear the good news from everyone out there soon (including myself!)

hi i am a newbie here and like most forumers here, i would like to be a SIA pilot in the future. Introduced by a forumer from another forum, this site is the best aviation forum that i have come across(''). People here are giving invaluable advises and positive encouragement and are not afraid to share their experiences either in the interview process or about life being a pilot.

I have just graduated from uni and is 26 this years. Wanted to try for the Cadet pilot programme but is afraid of my lack of working experience may jeopardize my chances of passing the interviews so i do intend to work in an aviation industry for a couple of years before submitting my application (Already filled and is ready to go)('').

Fortunately i found a senior position job in CAAS and hopefully by working in CAAS i can learn more things about singapore aviation industry and thus enhance my chances of being a pilot. However after finishing the contract which i am required to sign, i will be 28/29 years old(''). Is this age too old to go for the cadet pilot training??

thanks in advance...

[uid0]

if u want it...apply for it..do not be afraid

there are lots of guys who do not have aviation experience joining SIA as cadets.

[cyyap3]

can anybody help answer my question?i recently sent in my second application for sia.i went for my first ever interview last year december but unfortunately did not make it.does anybody know if they give second chance to second time applicants?my friend applied the same time as me for the first time and he did not meet the requirement for spm.but he got called for the interview on the 24th april and i did not.y is that?is it because i am applying for the second time?

[kruder]

Since u went for your 1st interview in dec last year and didn't make it, i would suggest u wait for another 6 months before applying again... as that's usually the minimum waiting period before they consider yr application at all.. So that would means May-June. Try again during that period and hopefully they'll call u for another interview.

I went for my 1st interview way back in 2003... and i didn't make but i never gave up... i applied 4wks back and went for my interview on the 14th April!

Well, i guess yr fren meet the requisites this time round therefore they called him up for interview but all i can say, is keep on trying. U've got nothing to lose.

[cyyap3]

does this mean that i have to send in another application during that period?or i should just wait till then.since i already sent in my 2nd application like 1 month ago.

[predator79]

what i suggest is... since you already submit your application than just wait for their reply... if they contact you.. congratulation to you otherwise send in the application again after the 6 months period.. cheers..

Don;t worry dude.. Go for it!!... I have tons of fellow cadets all fresh grad from Uni... Lack of working experience WON'T jeopardize your chances but lack of aviation knowledge and interest definitely will...

Ermm... having job experience in CAAS does help but no guarantee in getting a place here. Do think carefully which way you want to go... If piloting is where you want to be, skip the CAAS as age really matters in SIA... I have peers as young as 19... I'm 26 too this year and already felt abit "late start"...

Hope my two cents worth of thought helps you in making a better decision.. Good luck!
