RSAF or SIA???
-
which piloting career will u choose and why?
-
If you are a freak for fighter jets and you think you can withstand extreme g-forces, go for RSAF.
If you like the glamour of flying commercial jets and travelling round the globe, then SIA is for you. Salary is much higher too. -
both..
-
How old are you and
why do you want to fly airplanes? -
SIA better
-
SIA, as it offers more $
-
SIA
better prospects and u get to travel frequently -
25 and looking for a career..Originally posted by Rock^Star:How old are you and

SIA.
fighter pilots has a shorter career span. -
u have to clock a certain number of hours to certify as a commercial pilot. If im not wrong , it costs at least 20k to get a commercial pilot license.
RSAF starting pay 4k. also not bad.. I've thght of signing on too =) -
A cadet must clock at least 200 hours before qualifying as a second officer.
Pay is higher than RSAF's.
An ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot's License) costs between $100,000 - $120,000. -
Flying Fighters are like driving Ferraris

I take it that you have no idea what you are talking about because you haven't flown a plane before. -
I may not have idea...but this is the exact words my sec.school friend currently in RSAF says.Originally posted by Rock^Star:Interesting .

My uncle is a SIA captain..he told me that SIA only accept application to be a pilot there from people over 26-yrs-old..younger than that cannot apply..
-
I haven't flown the fighters before but it is unlike driving Ferraris. There's much more adrenalin to it and much more demanding when you are going at supersonic speeds.Originally posted by SpecOps87:I may not have idea...but this is the exact words my sec.school friend currently in RSAF says.
Flying commercial jets is not like driving a school bus. It's much much more than that. Please do not insult the professionalism of commercial pilots. -
SIA, flying commercial planes more relaxed ?
-
apply first then both then go for their test firstOriginally posted by ahhaoz:which piloting career will u choose and why?
see if you can pass their entrance exams first then come and crap. -
Its not an insult...if anything...I respect commercial pilots more then AF pilots. Why? In his/her hands there's 200-400 lives. A combat pilot on say an F16, has at most 2 lives on his hands, his and his WSO's. Unless its fully loaded with armament...thats a diff. storyOriginally posted by Rock^Star:I haven't flown the fighters before but it is unlike driving Ferraris.

Just wondering is it possible to first join RSAF for the flying experience, when the contract ends, then join SIA ?
-
if you are asking in the states maybe half would choose RSAF and half SIA.
in SG F15 u step 1 step u can travel 2 round around SG liao.
if u think round the circle is fun then u sign lor -
That is one possible route. There are many ex RSAF pilots who fly for Silkair, SIA, teach in Singapore Flying College (which trains SIA cadets), teach in Singapore Youth Flying Club. A handful are also currently teaching flying in Johor.Originally posted by concerned_man:Just wondering is it possible to first join RSAF for the flying experience, when the contract ends, then join SIA ? -
