Hi guys, I read through the previous posts and wow, this forum is really informative. I applied for the upcoming scoot/tiger mpl selection but if in the event I dont get it, I am thinking of going for sfc's CPL programme. However do you guys think it is worth the risk? Considering that all local airlines are hiring cadets to fill up future positions. Would they still consider CPLs?

If you have already made up your mind, no matter what anyone says otherwise you will still do it.
Consider properly and think hard.
Ain't a bed of roses out here

Hey all,
this thread has been on for nearly a decade and I know theres definitely alot of changes.
Just wondering I'm turning 34 yrs and at this age in SG it seems like really a crucial decision period.
I was looking at doing my CPL with FAA schools or schools in NZ as AU is actually quite pricey. Was wondering would plunging in for a local CAAS license at STAA or SFC be a recommended idea given at least you don't need to face the chicken and egg situation of license conversion & employment at a local operator?
It is pricey with no guarantee of a job but would be good if anyone can share their experiences for self sponsored cadets in those 2 schools? in the recent years have most found roles in scoot /jetstar or even SQ?
Another worry I have is I have an O level A level equivalent and a degree but not GCEs, anyone face employment hurdles simply because of that?

Bringing up this thread again post covid. Guess the journey for self-sponsored is way more tougher now.
I read a few posts here saying the FAA route is not the right way to go for self-sponsored CPL candidates. But I still don't really get it why is it so? If you can convert any ICAO CPL (which includes FAA) to CAAS CPL, why would it matter that the route to get a FAA CPL is not the right one?
