Thoughts from an almost SIA pilot

Almost everything you hear about S.I.A. on PPrune is true. I am still bonded to S.I.A. so I have been here less than 5yrs and 5months otherwise I would not still be here! That is not to say that is not right for some people. If you want your contract renewed then you must say nothing and l;ook the other way. Gen Bey still believes in the philophosy that all Pilot"s mistakes must be punished {financial of course being S.I.A.}That kind of view left forward looking Airlines years ago which makes S.I.A. an inherintly unsafe Airline. Fatigue is rampant on 747 fleet with some crews owed 2 years leave!!Since SQ6 DFO has changed his title to SVP so as to hide his responsibilities in this sad affair.

Recently, I was advised a Singaporean went to Oxford in the UK and obtained his ratings in hopes of flying for SQ. Much latter when he was unsuccessful with the notorious SIA Recruitment process for the Cadet Pilot Program his father had a heart attack. He now has a job in Singapore but does not fly.
It is one thing to be a Pilot, but its another thing to be an employed Pilot. Those young hopeful aviators have much fewer options in Singapore than those of us in the western world.

Hi everyone!
Young amateur here though. I would like to say that young aviators like me aren't given much chances in Singapore to further our knowledge in aviation here. An example is in school where it is the best place for learning and yet they are not taking the advantage to further help those students with great potential in becoming future pilots. Because of this reason, very few people in Singapore are actually interested in aviation. I have practically no friends in school that are into aviation and my only friends that are into aviation are those that I meet online such as forums like this and chatrooms. Thanx for hearing me out people, I sure hope Singapore can do something about this matter!
