sorry to say this but you dont choose to be an airline pilot. many people worked hard for years before achieving that. and to be an airline pilot is not as easy as you think. i just hate that the fact people keep cocking about why they didnt choose to be a pilot and got into the engineering or IT field blah blah blah.

i would like to say this again. it takes a lot more than you think to chase the flying dream. so please pay some respect.

until you get greenlight for a cadet pilot programme, dont say you're in a dilemma

ps: if you're only considering piloting because you get to travel, just forget it. i can imagine senior pilots reaction if you say that in the interview.

i went for interview for SIA cadet pilot that morning, i got the rejection letter that night itself.

i remembered i overheared the HR talking to another trainee HR, cadet pilots are all 'handsome looking'. Cialat! No wonder i failed!
