Maybe they have reduced the requirements to appease the inexperience locals who keep conplaining about the Malaysians who do not need to do national service. I checked it used to be ATPL, 8000 hrs, 1000 sectors, of which 500 PF.

On a long haul A380 roster with a heavy crew you would average what 1 PF sector a month ?

Still 350 PF sectors with reduced landing limits is very little to be put in charge of an airliner to aircraft limits in a degraded state.

Today, the number of sectors is irrelevant because now it takes 15 years if not more to command.

Sounds as though the Learjets are gone now? Guys low on sectors used to go off and fly the Learjet for a while, several sectors a day, probably not needed if it really is fifteen years to command.

Those FOs in Silk nor Scoot are highly unlikely to cross over to SIA if offered. The command in SQ is now a long wait, 12-15 years! If the RPIC goes through, the command would be even longer than 15 years!

I'm interested to know likewise if anyone has been called up for the interview. I attended the Aviation Open House this year and I spoke to the HR staff and from what she said,they conduct interviews every single week. Implying they probably can still afford to cut off every applicant for that month. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

I worked for SQ for a few years. Was good n bad.Some great night stops and the expats were great. The local Captains were biggots, with terrible CRM (to match their breath) and had very thin skins. They hate everything outside of Singapore, unless it revolves around sending their kids for overseas education , then they are all ears.

Local Captains despise westerners hanging out with Singapore girls. Especially on a night stop .I remember keeping my spotty local captain up all night with my bedroom party I had with a couple of the girls down route. He had to report me. So racist.

Singaporean's suffer the humiliations and indignities that a society of inbreeding can only create.

They prize education highly in Singapore, but its a rare commodity in Singapore Airlines. Kiasu. Always .

So have I got this correct? As a foreigner (Australian) I can apply for a direct entry second officer at the moment?

Cheers.
