I recall them mentioning trying to start in August but no firm date was given. Could be anywhere in August. Maybe they're trying to take in the current CPL transfers first?? Just a wild guess...

Course fee payment
Anyone have information of the payment milestones for the course ?
When are we expected to pay and the amount that we have to pay.
STAA's CPL course is $138Kplus into 9 separate installments.
I guessed the MPL course is abit different. Forgot to ask them during the interview.

Rough break down based on SGD
00 mth - 23k
06 mth - 63k
11 mth - 47k
15 mth - 40k
16 mth - 23k
this is a rough gauge, not confirmed as the course is based on USD, can increase/decrease quite significantly

155k???NASA can come up with an astronaut for that kind of money....there may be rich people in Singapore but they are not stupid, that's why they are rich, why pay 3 times as much for flight training?

what do u guys gain by posting comments like what u all just did ?
negative comments about other people make u feel better ?
I know that the web world is also a free world.... but
Spare a thought for others.

Heard from a reliable source that STAA President wants to interview candidates before being interviewed by the Qataris. Maybe this being a new batch for a new client he's being a bit KS.

I think that if one does not have too much savings, then it will be hard to fund for the course.
Most local banks don't recognize flight training fees as educational loans.
The bank that STAA recommends is RHB bank, but they are only willing to lend up to 6 times monthly salary or $100,000 which ever is lower.
So be prepared to source for the remaining $100,000 and that is excluding the expenses that cadets will incur while being jobless for 18 months.
Wondered how did the first batch of MPL cadets for tigerairways funded their training.

Welcome to the industry. Those of us who have been there and done that, fully understand your dilemma of how to go about funding your career. Only difference is that it didn't cost me (nor my counterparts) that kind of money for training in the past. In today's value, it would have been 1/4 of what you guys have been asked to pay, but then again, you're pretty much assured of a job at the end of it unlike those of us who invested in our careers with nothing but hopes and dreams of a job at the end of training. Those who persisted, make it in to the airlines; those that didn't, fall away by the wayside. That's the harsh reality of the aviation industry. Welcome to the jungle.
