Hahaha harsh786techy can't even spell computer and he professes to have better 'KamPoorter' literacy as he puts it.
Well done Lithgow. You are my idol.
There are no issues to the application form. Those that call the SQ HR actually will be laughed at and struck off the application list. But yes, in the interest of Public Relations, SQ are looking into the request. Say bye bye to your application when u call them asking for solutions to stupid problems. Why do u think they ask for your details first?
If you want me to stop my railing, just bribe me like you do the rest.

As for the field for 'Next of kin', I don't see the point of entering anything there if one doesn't have a spouse or children. There is a separate section for parents and siblings so filling the same data for 'Next of kin' doesn't make sense to me. So once again dummy data needs to be entered because the fields under this section are mandatory.
Please stop attacking people just because you're ignorant.

Dude, seriously. Have you opened up the application and taken a look at the form at all? I have. There is no 'Identity Card' issued to Indian nationals, so there is nothing for people in this country to fill that field with. That, however, means that the form can't be submitted because it happens to be a mandatory field. The only way of getting around it is to fill up all such mandatory but irrelevant (to Indian candidates) fields with dummy data, and specify this action explicitly in the 'Additional Notes' section towards the end of the form.
Are you so book smart but street stupid? At least you have the brains to register a new nick just in case you are exposed thus disqualifying your application. Now put those brains to good use. Why can't you insert your passport number in that field instead of making up dummy data? Who is the dummy here?

Is there ANYWHERE in the form that says that information already entered in one field MUST NOT be used again in another field?
Look, stupid, what is the objective here - filling up the form and making it acceptable, or analysing imaginary problems and ranting about it?
Remember - if somehow, miraculously, you get in as a cadet, you will find life in SFC miserable. The de-facto boss of SFC will make sure that as Indians, you don't embarrass his countrymen. He will have his eyes on you to ensure that you all be well-behaved little Indian boys, not snotty, pimply, fractious and contentious cadet wannabes.

The rest of the world has no problems with it, so why must you feel that it is a special form just for Indians?

Next of Kin means parents, if you are not married. Why can't you insert your parents' names instead of making up dummy data? Really, who is the dummy here?

There is no 'problem' here. Just a lack of data to fill up some mandatory fields due to existing practicalities. If you feel happier duplicating data in these fields, then power be to you. I didn't think that was the right thing to do, so I gave my opinion here. People are free to do as they deem right. Trying to show them that MY way is the ONLY way is not what I'm here to do. You, on the other hand, do seem to be taking this way too personally.

Lithgow, B2F,
Are you guys insane. Do you have any idea what crap you are talking in here. I think you must be taking out your grunt of unsuccessfull career on these young lads who are just trying in hard here.
In my whole career i have not seen pilots like you. N i hope you r just douchebags in here and are not pilots at all. You are just foolish people.

Please excuse my ignorance here, but why does SIA specifically recruit Indian cadets? I would find it strange if Qantas ran a cadet program for Vietnamese nationals, for example (although with all the offshoring currently at QF I would not be entirely surprised). I'm assuming it's a different situation?

A little too prejudiced towards Indians... Dont you think ?
Lazy - make feeble attempts at the webform and just conclude it is faulty.
No initiative - can't be bothered to study other threads on the SIA cadet experience / how to make the form acceptable.
Quick to blame others - complain in PPRuNe when the time could have been spent filling up the form.
Did SIA have a bad experience with previous Indian Cadets ?
If any wannabes do make it to SFC and their true selves are exposed they will be out, Indian or no Indian. Their coursemates will be the first to eat them alive.
Juvenile Indian males are also making themselves obnoxious elsewhere in the neighbourhood, for example in #16 and #17:

razzy: no need to register a new nick. Your writing style (thanks for the essay) has been well noted. It will be matched to your application which will still be rejected.
tulsaviator: nice try. Yet another baby PPRuNer. You are in fact just a pimply faced 51 year old Indian boy whose SMS style writing has given him away. Your whole career? As what? Bottle feeder? Cheating, lying and bribing all part of everyday life for you, yes?

Wow! This thread is getting a little too heated! Cool down guys.
Anyway, razzy, with regards to the filling in of the next-of-kin particulars, my 2 cents worth on that is that SIA requires you to state a specific next-of-kin so that they can contact this person should there be a need to (e.g. you falling seriously ill, emergencies etc). Having the particulars of your whole family on the form doesn't tell them specifically who to contact and during an emergency, this only complicates matters.This is pretty much standard protocol for almost all jobs worldwide.
Cheers.

@vwsj84 -
Hmmm, I didn't consider that because I assume those who end up getting selected at the end of all the rounds will fill up additional documentation in order to get registered for the course. Of course, that is only an assumption. Most forms I've come across mention specifically if they require you to provide emergency contact details.
That said, I think your point is valid. If I hadn't submitted the form yet I would go with what you're saying.
Cheers.

I am not racist. I just don't like idiots. Maybe the applicants who have issues with the form should put the computer degree that daddy bought for them to good use.
Forget about pilot. You guys should call SQ HR and take on a job in IT so you can fix the e form. Then once it's fixed and your mind can comprehend it you should try again. I bet if it was up to you the form would only require name, age and drinking ability.
How long did it take for you to write the essay? I bet you had to use spell check for every word. Wait, maybe you bribed someone to write for you.

Hey thanks cyrilroy21 for this information.
And friends plz fell free to discuss your doubts big or small.
ok I had filled the form today, it took a lot of time.
Even I had faced the same problem i.e Identity type so I just filled in PP details again and informed them in the note below that I had to fill in some info as the form was not getting accepted.
So once it was submitted I again logged in and tried to open my CV which I had uploaded in word doc format but then an error encountered. And it did not open.
As anyone faced any Problem like that?? Or is your uploaded CV opening normally!

vwsj84, you are altogether much too kind to animals.
It is clear that razzy is just a pimply faced schoolboy with no job and has never taken part in any activity until now requiring Next Of Kin data, because he didn't have a clue why he was asked to state his NOK. A pampered little maharajah never before exposed to risk of serious injury or death, perhaps.
He was baited into showing how logically superior he imagined himself to be. Like a dog he responded with his schoolboy thesis on why Indian information must be entered once and only once on any given form.
Nothing so entertaining like stringing along a brash punk and watching him blast off on a tangent. He would have continued sailing into adult life thinking that SIA designs stupid job application forms and would never have caught on to this NOK thing.
However you have now come to his rescue and humanely put him out of his misery by explaining what that is all about.
In return he merely says: "I think your point is valid". Your explanation is as polite as can be, yet he still sticks to his version of reality and is in fact dismissing your help by justifying and buttressing his arguments. In effect he is saying: "I prefer it done my way". Even as a mere applicant he is already telling SIA how to do things. Tsk tsk.
Don't worry, he won't get in. Or maybe he'll be strung along once more, made to go through the whole process, and then dumped with a rejection e-mail.
