Madchinaman,
Don't be disheartened. Read today's (9 August) issue of The Straits Times headlines. "Your worries are mine too, says PM" So your worries are with the PM, but do you believe that?

Well, I totally agree with you that SQ only employs handsome pilots. From the many feedback I get from Singapore Girls and stewardess from other airlines (sex always makes their mouth sweet), I really have to agree with you 100%.

Broer,
Personally, I think if SQ does not take you in, it's SQ's loss not yours. I know you are a good pilot and not for your country's economic crisis, you should be on the left seat by now.
I've flown with less competent foreign Capts and F/Os in SQ and sometimes I wonder did they get the job by the colour of their skin or their flying skills.
For all those people, who don't know Broer, Boer has earned his CAAS CPL/IR from SINGAS, which at that time was the flight training school for SIA. He now holds an ATPL and is 747-400 rated. BTW, we were coursemates too.
And those out there who look down on Indonesian pilots, I can vouch that Broer is a competent pilot and very professional in every aspect.
Once again, it's SQ's loss not to take you in, not yours. Take care and I know one day you soon be flying on the LHS. From our school days, I know that you'll excel in your career. Well done and keep the Indonesian flag flying high. Cheers

Dear Old Dog,
I don't know whether you are joking or serious in your last post. How could you say that to train an ab initio is cheaper than a full fledged licenced pilot? You mean the young chicko that just graduated from flying school are soooooooooooo smart until no type conversion, sim and line training required?
I don't know whether you were talking facts or dreaming.....

newbalance763,
You've come to the wrong place. If you just wanna find out about licences and about aviation, you should go to the WANNABES forum.
Over here, we're talking serious, we are all professional pilots. BTW, my licence is from CAAS. Cheers.

Lee,
How's it going? Been awhile since I last login. Anyway, good to see that you are still a regular ppruner in the far east forum. No chance we can meet with me in the right seat. If I remember correctly, you are a 744 driver, right? Been so overworked lately it is not funny.
Gnote,
Where have you been? Hopefully no more run-ins with you again.
old dog,
Care to clarify a little about the cost of training thingey which you posted. I guess I am as confused as everyobe else. I will treat it as a mistake on your part.

newbalance763,
i will assume you are from Singapore and would want to join SQ.....
for recreation, the US of A is fine.
Singapore is fine too but more costly.
forget about Malaysia completely.
to even have a slim chance of working for SQ, go to the UK.
if your father is a management captain at SQ, you could try Australia.
to save money, go to the US or Canada first and then cross over to the UK for conversion.
watch out for lose nuts and bolts under your Cessna before flying no matter what your instructor says and I mean really look out for it especially in those cheaper, discounted schools.
anymore info.....visit the wannabe forum. let us know when you have completed your first loop or barrel.
seriously speaking, are you sure you want to be a professional pilot? it is no fun unless you have passion for it.
good luck.

WLT,
Nice to read your interesting posting. I agree with your advice to newbalance 763, that unless his father is an SQ management Capt, then he should go to Australia.
This really brings the point to all those who are trying to get into SQ with currrent licences. If you possess an Australian CPL/IR you're welcome to apply to SQ, if you're an Aussie with an Aussie licence, bingo! you're in. That's the mentality of the SQ Management Capts today!
Oh, what a pity, I can't fly with you. You're on the Airbus right? Anyway, we're in SQ and as the advert says "It's a great way to fly", (but it never said it's great to fly in SQ!). I agree, with you WLT, one must really have the passion. I really do have that passion. Cheers.

Broer,
You've got what it takes, an Indonesian ATPL and a DCA of S'pore CPL/IR. I remembered you passed your written exam on the first attempt. That's fantastic. Some of our Singapore coursemates had to retake that exam. So don't be disheartened. I know you'll do well in your career. It's just a matter of time, before you're in the LHS.
The SQ Management Capts need to "walk the walk and talk the talk", until then, can they see competency beyond the colour of one's skin and nationality!

hi guys, thanks for the kind reply, have spoken to a few Boeing and Airbus drivers myself and they brought to my attention that NZ CPL/IR with Frozen ATPL might stand to be on par with oz with regards to application to SQ. What's your outlook on this?
