precipice SG

i seriously doubt SQ employs greenhorns.

if i am correct they normally select those with flying experience, especially those from the airforce.

mhcampboy SG

oh wow... ok ok..

do pilots flying different aircrafts command diff pays??

lets say... a 747 pilot... how much? Mr. Green

if im not wrong they also have junior pilots. pilot from rsaf if they wanted to ord and transfer to commerical line they still have to take up tests training like everyone else. they payscale varies on wat they of aircraft and mode(commerical, transport/cargo etc) they fly.

heres a webby from SIA

If I'm not wrong, you get a low base + high travel allowances.

and SQ definitely prefers employing RSAF pilots leaving service/duty.

Rock^Star SG

That's not really true. These RSAF pilots are still subject to interviews and if their attitude is found wanting, they will not be employed. After all, SQ has a lot pilot trainees in the pipeline and many more junior pilots eager to move up the ranks.

Rock^Star SG

SQ actually has a modest salary structure compared to major airlines like British Airways, Qantas, Cathay etc.

A fresh grad from the pilot course would become a 2nd officer - he earns about $4k-$6k monthly. (incl allowances)

When he gets promoted to 1st officer, pay would become $8k-$9k monthly (incl allowances)

Then when Captaincy beckons, he can expect $20k-$30k monthly (incl allowances)

mhcampboy SG

Ask you guys ar...

sounds silly...but my friend was recommended by her sister to be a cabin crew... sister also CC la... and she got made it without any interviews...

so..am wondering... if the Pilot also recommends someone to be a CC... his recommendations got weight or not?? lolx

Parka SG

Should be quite good pay, since they are capable of holding SIA up for ransom, like they did the last time when LKY had no choice but to intervene.

rmyfrm SG

Indeed that would most definitely apply across all industries.

However, considering two equals - with only differences between prior experience. I would definitely standby the fact that SQ prefers RSAF pilots.

GHoST_18 SG

u have to go through a couple of interviews + medical check ups...

and have to quite a fair bit of studying during the 2 years training...

and you will be sent packing if ur not up to it...
