he's just a canadian dude.. he was terminated from tiger and then vietnam and then now back there again i think

I have 1500hrs. Of which most of it is on Caravan in PNG, i am seriously looking to join up now with Tiger as a FO.

Please, please does anyone have a e-mail address for them and contact name.

Thank you kindly

Phenom100

any chance to join Tiger as a Capt without an A320 rating? Cheers

Second Officer!!
 

Hey Guys,

Does anyone know when the next round for SO recruitment begins??

Thanks

To all fellow mates,

Tiger is not recruiting any pilots except pilots with min 500 hrs on A320. And recently, they just hooked up some blokes from easyjets and ryanair. So i highly doubt they would accept anyone even if jet experience on their A320.

So nice trying fellas! :ok:

1. Do you need to be A320 current - the application states "The most recent proficiency check must not be more than 12 months old from the date of
application for conversion and preferably 2 proficiency checks in the last 12 months.
Proficiency checks must have a minimum of 4 months validity at time of license
conversion."

2. Are the schedules out-and-backs/home every night?

Thanks!

Are you asking if Tiger does night-stops?

If the airline won't pay for you to even have a cup of coffee, don't expect them to pay for your hotel room! :hmm:

I thought it says there 'PREFERABLY 2 PC's' in 12 months...?...BTW I only know pilots who do it twice a year...

:ugh:

used to be 62, now raised to 65

but it depends on individual companies whether they still wanna hire you after 62

i'm at nowhere

Yep, ouch is right,

ouch for all singaporean private CPL holders,

ouch for all singaporean who is above 32yrs OLD,

ouch for all singaporean who thinks that this was their dream,

ouch is right... :D

singapore is all right... :ok:

Try two months rent for your deposit, a months rent in advance and possibly a months rent commission for the agent who finds the place for you (agents commission depends on the rent, sometimes the renter pays it other times the landlord):eek:

Singapore is expensive to put a roof over your head and cars. My car here in Oz cost me 35k new, the same in Singas would probaly be 5 times that. I guess one good thing coming from Australia and US is we get 30% more for our dollar.

Even if you get into Tiger and Singapore is not really for you, well you could always try and sort out your CASA issues whilst with TR and try and get a transfer into Australia once you have been there for a year or two. 205k for capt in Singapore is not that bad compared to 185k in Aus with obscene tax rates.

cheap decent hotels

+ welcome to Hotel 81 +

Fragrance Hotel
Fragrance Hotel- Singapore budget hotel with affordable rates and 15mins away from Singapore international airport

the nearest to the airport branches for both are at "Joo Chiat"

Starskate,

Moving to Singapore is going to be bloody expensive. I estimate set up at around 16,000 SGD. This is what I spent up to my first pay check.

Breakdown

Apartment (btw, my place is awesome. Can find a so, so place for around half this)
4,000 rent upfront
8,000 deposit

Airfare
1,000

Day to Day living (Including piss ups, eating, taxis,.etc.)
2,000

Exam, visa and license fees
500

I'm also sure more money has gone somewhere.

Note: Tiger will not pay/give anything other than your basic salary, until you clear your check onto line.

Easiest way to look at it is: ask yourself the question you want to ask them and save time by applying the standard answer "NO!". :rolleyes:

well, i can see that massive amount has been put into rent..

if you're tight on cash, you can always rent a single room first, which is about S$400/month, plus deposit, should not be more than S$2000

S$4000/month is a whole unit, and seriously speaking, that's high rental, you can get $2500-$3000/month kind of rental in the eastern Singapore near the airport. Of course, it's not a condominium, it's a HDB flat which 80% of Singaporeans live in.

HDB flats look like this, and this is Pasir Ris, which is 10minutes from the airport by taxi

Stallone

that picture looks familiar to me!:E

I lived close by at Blk 118.

Starskate..

Your actually better off by renting an HDB. You get more for your money. The difference in HDB vs. Condo is that Condo will cost you more but a lot smaller to HDB..plus the facilities that comes with Condo, thats all!

HDB in Punggol area is quite nice...pretty much like condo.

Hi there

Any direct contacts that you can pass along?

Ive applied for a self sponsored scheme but the application they provided did not have an option of self typed scheme to tick.

I lived in SIN and will be home from 16-30 of Apr..lets go for a drink.

Cant send any PM to you..

Direct Personnel told me they are short in both seats.

starskate send me a pm i may be able to give u some info
 

star skate i will be down there soon send me a pm i can maybe give u some info and will join u for a drink come middle of the mth

SIN-PER-SIN is operated on a SIN based aircraft.

Friend working there tells me they need both but don't have the training capacity... 2nd hand info though.

S.

Tigers,

What's your average block hours per month? If you reach the 950 hours in, lets say, 10 months that means you have an extra month off?

Happy landings

Would any Tiger F/os be kind enough to post an average months roster please.

Many thanks,
GNJ

I have not heard of any American pilots or FAA licence holders being hired by Tiger Airways. I will be extremely amazed and surprised if Tiger Airways hired Singaporeans (there are many too) who are FAA licence holders. There are American pilots (FAA ATP Licence holder) hired by SIA and those are Captains. If you are are holder of FAA ATP Licence with commanding heavy-jet hours, licence conversion to CAAS is very easy.

There were FAA licenses pilots in Tiger, although they left. Some went to JetStar. I'm not sure, but I think you have to do the same as a JAA license holder: Singaporian air law examn, and - if type rated already - the A320 technical test. If not type rated, you will do the conversion within Tiger.

I didn't hear of any problems for Americans. There were also Mexicans and other Americans in Tiger.

hth,
Dani

Looks like United States FAA Pilot License is highly remarkable and valuable in Singapore!

If you have a current FAA licence with an A320 endorsement you will have no problem getting a CAAS licence, as long as you are to be employed by a company on the Singaporean AOC eg Tiger, who must do your training. You will need to do the Air Law exam, and the A320 technical. Both are piss easy if you have the cheat sheets that are floating about.

Make sure you have, before you arrive:

Licence
Stamped logbook
English Proficiency test
Current ME CIR
Proof of HPL exam
Supporting paperwork from the Airline you will be working for ie Tiger.

All current, all on the same licence. They will not accept bits and pieces of different licences.

Each individual case seems to be treated slightly different, it's just a matter of digging up all the crap they want but if you have all of the above you will be ok.

What about the Singaporean Class I? I've been told by the AME in ST Medical Services that I should present my last two full medical reports just to apply for the Class I with them. It's quite difficult to get those reports, are they that adamant with that? Any other way to approach the issue?

Thanks!

hahahahaha... Good one!

Basically CAAS see the FAA license as holding insufficient theoretical knowledge.

FAA ATPL holders will have to do:
- Air Law
- A320 Tech (if you already have the rating, but only if you have less then 2,000hrs on type)
- Human Performance
- Aircraft Performance (This one has had a lot of FAA guys crashing and burning, it is the hardest by far. Don't under estimate it.)

btw JAR to CAAS:
- Only have to sit Air Law

On the Class 1 medical, you MUST get the last two medical reports. No way round it. They do ask for last two ECGs and last chest X-ray, but after I handed the two medical reports over they said it was sufficient. Further note, it takes on average three weeks for them to issue the initial Class 1 medical.

Many thanks Touch!

The CAAS used to require an RT Licence too.
FAA Licence had to get that FCC licence or has that also changed.
Regards

I have a question for Tiger Pilots and any applicants.
 

For Most companies overseas you will be training every six months whether your an FO or a CAPT

starskate
 

Well a hotel wont cost you that much if you choose the right area. Galong has cheap hotels. A friend of mine, his sim partner stayed in a hooker hotel for 2 months at 50 bucks a night. I think he had to pay extra for the girls though.

lovely business were in
 

Hey starskate I was wondering you wouldn't happen to be a fellow USAir pilot would you? I am, currently flying in China, I have been recalled but thinking of bailing and staying in asia. Any info I would be glad to pass along

stuck in nothing
 

i hope the 2 airbus of tiger arrive asap so i wouldnt stuck for nothing with the cebupac pilots

age limit
 

I can not understand why 45 y.o is the limit for many Companies if you are a highly qualified professional. :confused:

I do not understand those Companies.:\

Why?:uhoh:

What is the reason? :(

Is it something related to C.R.M? :suspect:

Age limit
 

Does Tiger have an age limit for first officers?

Latest from Tiger: recruitment has been suspended UFN.

News anyone?

:ok:

starskate

As 411A is no longer with us can I suggest that at the age of 51 and still a F/O with not that many hours then perhaps a career change should be considered!;)

Possibly because they now have the required number of pilots that they set out to employ.:rolleyes:
