Hi Mktong,
Yep. Just got back from a long operating pattern. Give and take, SQ is the best airline for us(you know what I mean...) at this point in time. Anyone disputes that, ask him/her which airline to go for and will be glad to check it out.
Drop me an email anytime at [email protected]
Boeinglover: Will be emailing you soon....

Ultrajetfuel: Lasik is the most common or popular eye refractive surgery today as the recuperation period is much more shorter than the previous method. Also much lesser pain to undergo and can be completed in less than 15 mins.
But I would suggest that you check up with various doctors in your area on Lasik procedure and cost etc before deciding on what steps to take next. Hope that you make your best choice and achieve your objectives.
Good Luck,

Hi All,
I just want to know if any of you can shed some light as to how long would a "aspiring Cadet Pilot" with SQ have to wait for a reply from them from the date of completion of the medical check-ups. How long did u guys have to wait? Also heard that the OBS course is now conducted in Malaysia? How long do you have to spend in Jandakot, Perth? I have no flying experience whatsoever.

Yeah OBS is now held at Lumut in Malaysia. Quite a s#@$ hole compared to OBS Ubin. The jungle treks and peak acents were quite challenging and there were quite a few creepy crawlies to spend the night with.
But ultimately, you get close to the bunch of guys you'll be spending a substantial amount of time with and it all works out in the end and you look back on it and laugh.
I did not enjoy the course, but I enjoyed the group of guys I did it with and I'm enjoying working with them at the college. So I guess, OBS was not a bad thing afterall.
As for the waiting period, I waited 2 months, some of my course mate only a couple of weeks. But I think if the medical went well, it is only a matter of time. Let me know when you get in and I'll look forward to seeing you at the college.
Cheers
P.S. let me know before you leave for Lumut, there was a lot of things I wish I had there that I did not think to bring. I'll fill you in.

Anyway, here is a sad and tragic story I heard -
An enthusiast like some of us manage to persuade his dad to sent him to OATS to do his CPL/IR and Frozen ATPL. Those times, SQ Cadet Recruitment claim they recognised pilots esp. if they are from OATS. He came back with the licence and applied for SQ. I think most of you lads know how much it cost to a CPL/IR and ATPL Frozen in the UK !
Two bad blows in his life ! He didn't get it and after that his dad got a heart attack. Pity that bloke, wonder what he is doing now ?
---------------------------------------------
Regarding the eyesight requirement now, I heard it is 6/24 without corrective aid and 6/6 when corrected.
---------------------------------------------
To get a pilots licence is one thing, To be employed is another. Very true in the case of SQ
---------------------------------------------
All the Very Best to all future SQ Flightdeck Crews.
Best Regards,
Herman

Do correct me if
I'm wrong.

Hi,
I just got back from the dreaded Tekong, boy did I miss alot of juicy stuff !
Regarding licence conversion. I emailed the Flight Ops Section and this was the latest reply from them, 3mths ago. I hope it still stands, besides if you need further clarification do call them up.
Regarding your query, we will convert all valid ATPL from any ICAO contracting
states to a Singapore equivalent, provided the applicant fulfill the following
requirements :-
(a)Pass a Singapore Class 1 medical with a CAAS Designated Medical Examiner
(b)Pass the Singapore Aviation Law paper
(c)Pass the Human Performance & Limitations paper
(d)Pass a flight test with a CAAS Flight Examiner
There are more requirements to it, you'll have to call them up. This is just the basic !!
Applicants will be required to come in person to CAAS Flight Operations Section,
during normal office hours, with his original licences, medical certificate and
all flying logbooks (certified by the relevant authorities) for verification
purposes. All the above requirements must be completed (*) months prior to the
issue of the Singapore ATPL. All flying clubs which follows ICAO flying
requirements are acceptable for the conversion. CAAS have yet to approve any
flying schools which is 'recognised' for ATPL conversion. For further
information you may wish to contact Ms -- at tel : (65) 5412482 or fax (65)
