wah lao eh, haven't go for first interview already asking how many flight attendants huh?
If that's what u looking for, then go for A380. Minimum requirement is at least 1 attendent at each door, so count the no. of doors and u get the minimum.
But I see real pretty flight attendents from MAS. SIA, seems to be lesser and lesser
Remember Silkair has only some night stop in India, and chances of Hanky panky is minimal... Whereas SIA, plenty of night stop, so many chances huh?
Or you can go for A345, so long that they have crew rest beds, so u can have fun even in the air

SIA Flight attendants standard going down
Hi SQ111, thanks for your quick reply.
By the way, which fleet are u currently flying in?
Can u tell me abit of your experience as a Pilot for SIA?
(ie. Food, welfare, bonuses, allowances, etc.)
and the customers u meet on board (unless you are flying the SIA Cargo).
Thanks.

aiyah sensitive lah... this kind of thing, not convenient to disclose. you never know what will happen.
By Singapore Standards, pay is good. By Malaysia Standards, will be excellent. By Western standards, err you can tell from various discussion here. But not difficult to earn more than $150k in other professions nowadays, but as a flight crew, you are away from home 2/3 of the time.
B777 is currently the biggest fleet in SIA. you have B777-200 and B777-200ER and B777-300. More advanced cockpit. But I always love the stick of the Airbus compared to yoke found in Boeing.
B777 won't go London, it is solely flown by B744, so if you are a Arsenal fan, then hope for B744 or A380.
LA lakers fan? hope for B744 or A345. But I am lakers fan... very sad.
Allowance varies from country to country. Best meal allowances is in Japan, but then the costs of meals there are higher.

wombob78,
At last I hear from someone who'll be attending the 1st interview. Congrats! Wish i was as lucky as you!
I was just wondering how long did you have to wait from the time you sent your application?? My wait has been almost 2 months now, so i guess chances are my application is a pile of shredded bits now
I'm wondering whether i should be a persistent bug and re-apply? Or would that just piss them off? I noticed on the SIA website that they revamped the cadet pilot vacancy page...in a aesthetical sense.
Regards,
SCC

Hi
It took me 1 month + before they send a reply to me via email.
Yes the new webpage looks more detailed than before for the Cadet programme.
You can try again if you really want to be a pilot.

First Interview attended
Hey ppl,
i attended the first interview for SIA at hotel Nikko on 30th june. They asked random questions like why i want to be a pilot, the height a plane flighs in, the speed, what airplanes have i been on before, the type of aircrafts SIA has, how a jet engine works, wat i think a pilot shud posess to be good at his job...
basically thats about it...
So now its kind of been like 3 weeks. Hoping they will get back to me soon...
Do i have to immediately go for the next rounds once they get back to me? What should i be doing to prepare for the next two rounds? Hope this was helpful for those attending the 1st round..
Cheers,
Sudz

Hi guys, to those who have been selected recently for SIA Cadet Pilot.
How long does it take for SIA to reply to you after your first interview? Will they reply to you even if u don't get accepted?
Is it from email or phone?
Thanks.

Hi Sq111,
Thanks for ur prompt reply. Does it means if one was not selected after final interview,he will have no chance to become pilot with SQ again? How about getting a foreign Commercial Pilot License with 200hrs on pistons engine? Will it helps?I am very keen on becoming an airline pilot but dare not apply yet because of the consequences if one was not selected after final interview. It's still holding me back somehow.Pls advise.Thanks in advance.
cheers,
Confuse.....

Singaporeans and Malaysians, only way is via the cadet pilot scheme. If you are not selected for final inerview, can try again, its only if u do not make it AFTER the final interview then that's it.
But then u think, the 2.5 to 3 years of training, u can also be asked to go anytime (what they call kenna chop) so just becos u are afraid of rejected doesn't mean anything.
Go ahead if u really like flying. don't let anything hold u back
