actually i've sent .. like 3 times already.. do u think i should send again? hah.. later the receptionist get annoyed..

actually what kinda documents did u guys sent? i sent in my resume, spm, testimonial (secondary school one), photocopied i/c, photo and unrelated degree certs.. need cover letter?

Those who have university degree pls try SIA. you have high chances of being selected for the interview. SIA is in need of many pilots and recruiting aggressively. They advertised in the whole SEA region up until India and Sabah/Sarawak. Every week, there are interviews for thousands of applicants. Right now, the interview reached Penang and today is the final day. The next stop is Sabah/Sarawak

Wow.. 3 times..

Actually I think sending one time is enuf d.. if u aint got any news u shud give up d...

Anyway, still good luck to u

heheheheh better send more cause u never know wheter the three previous arrived at their hand or not

If u really like it. Just keep on sending. Because they get 2000-7000 applications. Yeah send in all those stuff. And also a cover letter. Like i said before, with ur own handwriting ro make ur latter stand out. They dont want to see another printed letter. They all look the same and boring. Some pilots repeted the psychmotor more than 6 times. And some send more than 20 applications.

Psychomotor is piece of cake.
Now the waiting game starts, there is no time limit as to when you'll be called for the psychometric test. And even those who completed it in December 2005 havent receive reply yet.

Mine was diff, when i passed my psychomotor,they instantly gave me a letter after the test in the waiting room stating the date for the psychometric test,that was around a year ago.

that was last time. this time around, so many passed the psychomotor and put on waiting list. with the addition of current downsizing and frozen intake issues, the wait is forever. in fact some applied for SIA and already passed the final interview while the MAS offer letter is nowhere to be seen after half a year.

for those thinking of getting into Air Asia,

i have just received an email from AA saying that applications for CADET Pilot will reopen in 2007.

wah need 2 wait so long........

lol.. where do i need to send my application??

aspiring pilots,
do visit www.askcaptainlim.com. it has all the info you need to be a pilot. you can also visit the forum there. it has all the regional airlines section where aspiring and real pilots share their views and infos on the latest recruitment.

all the best in your pursuit of you dream.

Actually got offered by SIA last year ... but rejected it. Reasons :

- Want to be closer to my love ones. Previously was working as a marketting executive after my STPM, all the while outstation and felt bad for my love ones when they needed me. Did earn like RM3-4k a month ,but I family is more important to me.

- Looking for something more challenging ... flying will be very challenging for the first 5 years, after some thinking , I feel that its just a routine job after that.

- Just accepted an offer from petronas to resume my career in electrical and electronics field .... aready completed 1 semester that time , didn't want to waste it. And I've got a princip in life which is I do not do things half-way.

Well that's just me .... different people have different way of thinking. Flying was my dream and I worked hard for it


Btw , to those of you .... just send in your resume to SIA and MAS, pilots are in high demand with the growth of airlines company. Actually, lotsa pilot from MAS resigned and is now working with airliners at saudi arab (don't know what airline) , that's partly why they want to hire more pilots.

Actually you guys can also study privately .... there's a school in malacca , Malaysian Flying Acedemy (MFA) which offer courses to get your flying license for private and commercial. The whole course cost bout RM160k (now not very sure cause petrol price increased), if you would want to save more , you can go to a zenneth (don't remember the spelling) flying school which is at subang airport to get your private flying license and then only go to MFA to get your commercial flying license.

about job opportunities , I don't think there's a problem since the demand of pilot is high. If you can get a bond .... its much better then.


Well since I still have passion to fly .... I'll definetly get a private flying license in the future

Good Luck to you guys out there !!!

like ignn_tion said, it takes a lot of sacrifice to be a pilot.

if you have big commitments like GF and wife, then it will be tough for you.

Hi there. Would you mind telling me the advantages of an applicant applying for the job with a degree as opposed to one who goes for trainning right after highschool?

Thank you

the minimum entry to SIA is a degree or diploma now. only in rare cases they will select high school leavers. and the age preference is 23-25. this is because singaporeans can only join SIA at the age of 26
