Does anyone know if Singapore Airlines are taking any direct entry captains or first officers?
Are have they done it anytime in history?
If so what were the qualifications required?

SIA has stopped recruiting qualified pilots as they have an excess of crew and recently released a lot of pilots who are 62 yrs or greater!! However, they are recruiting Cadet pilots who will be first officers in approx 3 yrs to replace those who are retiring and for future growth..

50-70 is in my opinion even a low estimate since they stopped silkair intakes, direct entries and have quite a large pilot body, they will need around 70-100 a year for replacements only. Not to talk about attrition during training even. Also note that cadets are dispersed among silkair and cargo too and the students have absolutely no say in it.
