FLYSCOOT AIR

[sulphric acid]

Hey everyone some questions here..
Firstly, Where do the second officers fly?
And how's the basic salary? Is it really SGD$1600?
Anyone here is currently working as a Scooter in this airline? It would be nice if you are willing to share the working experience and enviroment there, e.g. how much do you fly a day?
I'm considering of being a cadet there, any suggestions or precautions to take?

Thanks everyone.

[Team America]

That feedback is much appreciated, thanks.

I understand most airlines require a training bond with prorated amounts reduced from salaries, but this implies pilots might have to fund part of the training up-front... Right?

Wonder if they will charge pilots for differences training once the 787s start to arrive in a few years? This is certainly one way to ensure you weed-out the non-777 rated prospects who might be interested - many of whom could be quite experienced (on 737s/A320s) and good potential employees.

Scoot is a all B787 fleet now

Assessment and interview

Hello guys, I sent my application to scoot Im qualified to all of the qualifications.
Does anyone knows assessment and interview progress? Can you guys help me with the questions? What they ask to you and what they want from you?

[atila_101]

They want your money, simple.

[King on a Wing]

Seriously.
What can a Captain expect as take home salary at the end of the month?
Include per diems etc

[FlyingChipmunk]

KOaW,
seriously, less than or equal to a Jetstar or Tiger Captain ....circa SGD$18-20k...everything included,
at least, that is what the Cpts were saying as of last month. Expect Sgd$16-18k on average months.
Good management, new planes, expanding fleet and network, chance to live in the most expensive city in the world for Expats. SGD$40k required for the experience.
Buy a car the first thing you get here.

[pfvspnf]

Why would anyone with experience pay for a type rating ? This sort of method of operating has to stop.

[volare_737]

Does anybody know if they are actively recruiting at the moment or in the near future ?

scoot

HI has anyone attended the 2016 or 2017 assessments with SCOOT?
Care to share some info on how it is?

[IFLY757]

I just did the assessment for scoot.First day was group task and interview.Not much difficulty here except the river crossing exercise.That was a hard one.No one got it.

They want you to be you,so dress as you please for the interview.They are very friendly and at the same time professional.

The second day was SIM,there is no profile given.It is raw data TO and no A/T ,No FD.
Through out the exercise there is no Automation and A/T AND FD are off.
A Non precision appch in this condition is quite tough.Followed by a engne out and still all raw data with SE rawdata ILS.
Then you gotta go for Psychometric test which you have to pay for(SGD 450).
Waiting for the results now.

Seriously, they want you to pay $450 for the "privilege" of going to their interview? And you did it?!?! No wonder it's getting more and more difficult for real pilots to get good work.

Did you know that the other airlines want you to come with a psychometric evaluation report done by yourself?They all cost money.
I have refused so many interviews for the same reason and found that it was a losing battle,but if you feel that there are real airlines left to fly for then all the best.

Did you know that the other airlines undertake the psychometric evaluation report at their cost?

Gives you a big heads up as to what Scoot think of their prospective employees.

Agreed.

Last time I paid for anything was a Seneca 1 type rating for my MEIR back in the early 90s. Since then I have gone on to the airlines as a turboprop F/O, gained a command, then jet F/O, gained a command. And changed types.

Throughout all of this I have never forked out a cent to get the job. In all cases I have been on full pay and per diems from day 1. If they want me and my experience they need to pay for it. Only once did an airline suggest I self fund a type rating (changing type). I politely declined. A week later they came back to me and said they would fund the rating.

Have a bit of respect for your license and yourself. By showing from the start that you are willing to be shagged up the botty just to have an interview, you can be damn sure when you join they won't have respect for you.

I am surprised that they let you have the TAC operating.
Would be a pleasure to watch a SE, raw data, non precision, TAC inop approach in low visibility.
Somehow I keep thinking of the blind horse pulling the cart with a wheel off.
On a narrow snaking wet and muddy mountainous pathway...
Hehehe.
So damned unreal !

FYI, the 787 does not have a TAC like the 777. What's on the 787 is the full time compensation!

Do they do the sim eval on the 77 or the 78? Do they have their own 78 sim in Singapore?
