Hi folks,
A former scooter here. I believe a lot has been said about TZ in this forum and let me tell you, none of this comes short of what you will find there.
I'm sorry to hear the treatment that has been delivered to some of you but believe me it is better this way, you have saved yourself a good deal of money and headaches.
Foreigners in that outfit will be there temporary. We were lured into joining to start the airline and once is up and running they called in all the SQ guys, either captains that come to TZ to retire or FO's that come to get their promotions, and believe me they will get it before any foreigner since there is no seniority or respect whatsoever.
Both pilot's union and the company union are working for the airline and expect nothing from them.
My only advice is to ignore this airline and keep searching elsewhere if you really are into wide bodies, is not worth it.

The airlines in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan rather used their own citizens! They are even worse! They are extremely arrogant that they do not depend on foreigners!
Did you see air-crashes?
Even if airlines in Singapore using their own citizens, so be it!

Scoot SO?!
Does Scoot actually have Second officers at the moment? If so, for which routes? Is it possible to find the actual T&C for second officers?
Do they only take home around 1800 Sing dollars a month? It would be good to know if that's the truth, I can save buying a ticket to singapore

FO Requirements
Does anyone with knowledge of Scoots' recruitment process know how firm they are with the FO requirement for Min. 1500 total flight hours on commercial jet aircraft??
I've got a military background with 800 hrs corporate jet and wondered if I'd get a look in, or told to get lost?
Thanks

Does anyone know in cash figures what a
non rated Capt has to pay for the 787 course?
It says 50 percent but how much is that
Also is it a 5 year contract

What's the latest here? Back in April I have heard that they weren't taking in DEC 787 even though they already interviewed and conditionally offered the guys, any updates? And what are the requirements and timeline for internal upgrades?

I'm not sure how good it is hence why I am asking but I did hear Scoot does roster you a compact roster (flog you) with a block of days off which might allow enough time to head back to Oz.
Would like to hear if this is happening???

Hi there Team America,
There is one thing you have to understand here, Sporeans want absolute control over your life, they really think they own you just because they have given you a job.
I have never seen in Scoot such roster that would allow for some days off in a row as to go home, even if home is Oz. We had some guys that wanted that very same type of roster you are talking about to go to Bangkok (only 2 hours away and plenty of flights between SIN and BKK) and in fact were promised such rosters.... never happened.
Is Scoot's policy (this is inherited from SQ) that whenever you want to leave Singapore on your days off you have to notify the company, that gives you an idea of the kind of control freaks you are dealing with.
Don't know where you heard about that rumor, if it was told to you by Scoot's HR during the interview don't believe, they are simply lying in order to get you to commit to their cause. Do your self and your wallet a favor and avoid that outfit at all cost, you will be happier and richer.
