Local Trainee Pilots Got Screwed After Paying $140K For Course

James is caught in a bind. He went to SIA flying school and therefore all international reputable airlines won't touch him because he was obviously rejected by SIA.
Its better to take it overseas which is so much cheaper.
His only hope is to fly at all cost even if its 3rd rate. Important to clock hours and a reputation. SIA and other airlines generally take in pilots across age groups and experience. They will test you on their simulator and they make their assessment.
Best to move on.

It's true that FTs are displacing Singaporeans everywhere in SIA, even as cadet pilots. That's because SIA doesn't care, as long as they find somebody who fits the profile of a pilot that the company wants. And it's not in sinkies advantage that we are known as a whining and unappreciative lot.
If a FT is employed as pilot, even better! The company saves money on CPF contributions. You can tell this fact to the idiots who say Singaporeans and FTs on local terms have the same salary package in SIA. No FT in his right mind would give up his citizenship to be a Singapore PR just to get some miserable CPF when his salary in Singapore can buy him easily a mansion back in his country (boleh land). So it is much cheaper for SIA to employ FTs on local terms than Singaporeans and many of them remain on work permits even after being promoted to captains.
For cadet pilots, they generally look for some kind or hint of achievement in your resume even before they call the guy in for the interview, i.e. involvement in sports, uniformed groups, debate team, charity work etc etc. Yeah, and having good grades help. They want to make sure the guy will make it through the training proper and not some joker who will get chopped anyway.
So for guys who went to the interview with SIA and didn't make it, unfortunately it means you do not fit into the profile that SIA wants. It is pointless to then try to buy your way in by paying through your (or your parents) nose for a private license.
