Good day everyone!
I did my eye test at SGH's SNEC (snellen and ishihara tests) but only got a slip of paper with the results from my doctor. Is this correct or is there a more formal form?
Thanks!

married to a singaporean
Here is my situation....i am married to a singapore citizen and she hates it here in america. I am willing to move there and she said that i can get some sort of working visa or permanent residence? I already have my atp and flying regional jets here in the US.
1. DO i apply for the cadet program?
2. I dont have the following requirements since i went to school in the US: Minimum of 5 GCE ‘O’/SPM level credits or its equivalent. These must include English, Mathematics and a Pure Science subject, preferably Physics, taken at one sitting.
Any help appreciated, and how is life as a pilot in singapore????

I wanna share something weird. Went to SQ interview last couple of mths, not much qn asked.. breezed through the tech qns. Found out didn't even make it to the second round. I am a former ATC, so I felt a little surprised indeed. I'm not saying that we ATC lot has most certainly a foot in the programme or something, but the aviation and technical background is certainly there and demonstrated.
I do wonder what these sad souls interviewing candidates are looking out for. Nevertheless, will try again once more in January when my six mth waiting period is over.
Oh one more thing, i am 30 this year, and i can see that the interviewer was trying to ruffle my feathers by saying that i am way too old for the program. Gee, that true? Thought Alpas clearly stated that minimum age is 26. And with the last 4 years with direct aviation background, i am certainly puzzled

Courses on avearage run at about 15-20 per course, that "course of 40" is actually 2 courses being run at the same time. There is about one new course per month.
Course 106 starts in Dec, there is another 'double' course going through in about Feb/March.
They are ramping up numbers, in aircraft and instructors to meet the growing demand for cadets from the airline, so you guys waiting shouldnt have too long to go.
GL to all trying.
Cheers

From comments I heard from fellow aspirants and some of those here, its quite likely that the interview and selection process is highly inconsistent.
I really hope that someone can shed some light and help to demystify the whole issue. What are these people looking for and what do they really look out for in a candidate.
In the unfortunate case above, why 9mths of deliberation or pending before typing out an email to inform of rejection? like i said, highly inconsistent practise here.

I applied by hard copy when I was 24 years old and as expected did not get any reply. Just turned 25 years and have been trying to send an email application for the past 2 weeks but their email was down. My email application only got through yesterday and now they are advertising for cadet pilots. Hope I will get an interview with them.
