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

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 smile.gif

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

Wow... looks like if I were to apply, I would stand a good chance of being selected. What happens if you're selected? Trainnig obviosly, but where do you stay? Are you paid?

Edited to say that I got this info online. Sorry for asking such a simple question.

Why do pilots use ICAO airport codes when the airports themselves use IATA 3 letter codes?

haha,
you can put your worries aside, SIA has one of the largest budget allocated for crew training in the entire aviation industry.
Like I said, cadets = fresh.

How often do they conduct intakes? I didn't see any dates on their career site.

you dont wait for the date. you just send in your application and try your luck.

it was advertised in newspaper 2-3 months ago and the KL/Penang interviews already over. now it's headed to Sabah/Sarawak and later will be in China as well.

That's dissapointing news indeed. I guess I'll have to wait until next year.

there's no harm sending in your application first. if you dont get reply in 2 months, send again. i'm pretty there will be another intake for malaysians end of the year.

right now, the batches are only separated by 1-1.5 month apart. meaning that there are new intakes every month
*
Is there anyone I can write to or email to find out whether or not they will be conducting another interview session this year?

Sure if u dont stall the 777 in the 1st place. lol. I think one sim costs from RM50m-200m. Theres a reverved place for the A380 sim. Ill snap a pic later.

A boeing test pilot did a real life loop-de-loop at a airshow a long time ago with a 707. Comercial aircraft can perform inverted flight, they just can't sustain it.

Well, if you go to youtube.com, you'll be able to see an airbus A380 do an inverted flight as well. I don't think the engines get starved so quickly (if that's how you say it).

Here is a link to the first ever passenger class aircraft to do a loop. It wasn't a production 707 as I had assumed. Anyways, you can read about it.

And hoongji, I don't think any sane person would try to do a loop with either cargo or passengers in the fuselage.

Take it easy man. Proficiency in a language isn't something that can be gauged. Some peoples' brain are wired differently, so something that may be simple to you could prove to be a monumental task to someone else.
