It costs nearly 100k to actually get your ATPL in Malaysia. And that's only frozen as you need 1500 hours total time and 500 PIC time for conversion to the full one. That isn't easy to get too. Also, type ratings are very expensive, and usually are requirements for airlines.
When you graduate from the flying academies, you would probably have only 250 hours, and that isn't sufficient to get a job as a First Officer in almost all Asian airlines, as they start to take in FOs at about 1000TT.
It's pretty expensive and risky if you don't get picked up by SIA! But don't let that stop your dreams as there are some who managed to make it and fly for the low-cost carriers like AirAsia or Tiger Airways.
@bloodsucker : Thanks for the re-affirmation. I'm not sure how stringent they are regarding the eyesight requirement, as JAA first class medical states that below -6.00D would be fine for issuance. UK CAA 1st class medical would be slightly harder to get at -5.00D as the limit but I heard that from -5.00 to -6.00 they do give a waiver? For the RSAF, I think that almost all above 175 degrees get sent for PRK, and that 25 degrees wouldn't make much of a difference as everyone equals out to 6/6 or near 6/6 vision with surgery?

Hi guys. I passed my interview about 2 weeks ago and am heading on to the medical. I do not meet the eyesight requirement for the RSAF, yet they still pass me for interview? The colonel even mentioned to me that he knew my eyesight was past the limit but said I was eloquent enough in the interview and should be suited for pilot training.
I don't understand as wouldn't I be unable to pass the aeromedical with my poor eyesight?
L-375 Astig : 100
R-525 Astig : 100Would I be able to get a waiver to pass aeromedical? I also have quite a large scar on my forearm due to a bad fall but it's mainly cosmetic and doesn't affect my physical performance, as I managed to obtain a Gold for NAPFA.
Any help guys? Thanks in advance!

I just received my call for an interview on the 15th of August, 8am I think. I was too excited to correctly ascertain the time!
Waited about 4months to get my interview, as I took my COMPASS on 22nd of April. A dam long wait, but a truly fulfilling one I hope! Any fellow pilot wannabes here going next week?

Hi all,
Been prowling this forum for a long time, seeing how interested I have been in being a Police Officer. I have a few questions I hope those informed can answer me.
1.How's life as PO/SPO like? Other than the more general descriptions of their various respective roles, exactly how does your everyday as a PO/SPO pan out like?
2. I plan to get a degree in Law at SMU/NUS then join the SPF as a SPO. I plan to join the VSC after NS and serve as a VSC during my 4 years at Uni. I am studying at JC now and have been getting good grades, and is in the leadership committee in my CCA. What are my chances of joining as a SPO?
Cheers and thanks alot!
