When you are talking about the selection this week & interview...I presume that you have already been contacted by Jetstar? Or do you mean that people will be contacted this week only? Please confirm?

PNY,
We sat for the Advanced Compass Test. I don't know why it's a requirement to despite holding licenses already but I think most of us cleared that process. We're just waiting for the interview.

dream747: May I ask if you are former RSAF please?
This is how the powers to be at JetStarAsia explained to me is the interview / hiring protocol strictly:
1. Fresh from college for the cadet pilot scheme.
2. RSAF pilots for the Advanced Cadet Pilot Program who have had a minimum of 12 years of service and the airline values their discipline, leadership, training and culture.
3. Type rated FOs with a minimum of 500 hours on A320 for Junior FO with preference to those with much more hours who can be Senior FO's.
Not to ruin any one else day (mine is already ruined) but this is what is Tiger Airways interview / hiring protocol now:
1. Type rated FOs with a minimum of 500 hours on A320 for Junior FO with preference to those with much more hours who can be Senior FO's.
2. Those not meeting the A320 experience requirements are fresh out of luck as all the other slots have been reserved / promised to the many MCPL coming through the STATA program (I did not even know that the MCPL had been approved by CAAS and I have a CAAS license)
I hope this will assist the many readers of this topic... and keep the faith...

dream 747 - please check your pm
Anyway, I am happy that what I wrote about the requirement for ACP is incorrect as there are those of you out there reading this also hoping to get in and are not necessarily RSAF, etc.
Let's hope we all get to our dreams... Good luck!

recently found this article about head of operations Mr Chan choy kee specifically saying that the ACP is for 30 formerly RSAF pilot.
$9m fund to boost aviation workforce
note the number 30 & 40 being mentioned respectively.

He added that the launch of the new fund was timely. If the airline is eligible for it, the money will help to subsidise training for its pilots.
damn it... no subsidise at all for ab initio...

CAAS SASP-2 "700hrs"

To my understanding (in the conversation with CAAS), the 700hrs stated in CAAS SASP2, means nothing! It is a GREY area.
For Singapore Citizen and PR, those who are holding foreign licence with <700hrs, it is not the end yet. Licence can be 101% be converted to CAAS licence! In another words, all foreign licence holders with less than 700hours still can be converted into CAAS licence. It all depends whether local air operator willing to sponsor you for licensing conversion or not.

it doesn't matter anymore if they only wanted ex RSAF pilots.
so 700hrs or not for the CAAS conversion is just wishful thinking on our part.
does anyone knows which church the head of operations of SIA goes to?
i will go join that church, this is what singapore has become, or should i say have always been.

When does the 2nd course/batch intake commence?
What about the 1st course/batch intake, is the OAA Assessment for it already over and finalised? The stated application dateline is on the 31st January.

Having again spoken to the powers be at JetStarAsia, I have obtained the following classifications:
1. The maximum age for all cadet civilian applicants is 32 years old. The requirement is that they must be young and fit so that the airline recoups its investment in the individual
2. There is no pre-requisite military requirement for the ACP. In fact of 400 applications for ACP, only 6 have so far been hired, all civilians, and are awaiting class dates, as follows, 5 SFC graduates and 1 STATA Flight Instructor. Interviews for future ACP will occur again a few months but no more than 6 will be hired each intake for ACP for the time being.
3. Even with the standard hiring, A320 type rating and 500 hour minimum time, the airline has plenty with much greater experience trying to get on and even then some just do not make it through the interview and / or simulator evaluation either.
The Pilot career remains highly competitive and challenging for the foreseeable future. In fact JAL has 1,800 highly experienced Pilot's looking for new jobs.
Good luck folks!
