Hey DeeeNah,DeeeNah wrote: Heu autumn,
You got into SIA on your 1st try. There must be something about you
I can't wait to start training and meet up with you guys. As I told machi17, it would be great if we could have a small little support system outside our batch mates. It's quite harmful if we hang out with the same people constantly as you get sick and tired of them, which leads to the norm (gossip, politics, backstabbing). So hopefully we can all have a small nice posse! Good luck on monday autumn!

Can anyone enlighten me on the medical check after mgt round?
Is the clinic still at shaw??
What can we expect during the check up?
Heard one of the gals in my company saying she was bumped out duering medical round bec she has hearing problems. The doc didnt give her second chance and she was still very upset till now although it has been a few yrs back.
Can i advise her to try again? will she get blacklisted?
I'm now flying with Cathay and hope to join SQ also.
The clinic is still at shaw house.. they'll do the normal checks.. eyesight, colourblindness, listen to ur heart, blood pressure, etc... regardin the hearing, i had a little problem as well, the doc said my right ear is very bad.. can't hear very well but i managed to get through.. the doc was quite nice actually..
i think she can try again.. dun think they'll back list.. its already after 6 months anyway...
Cheers

Yes, the clinc is at the office area of Shaw along Scotts Road and it is almost like what machi17 said, but I will give an account of mine any way.
At there, the nurse will ask you to fill up a 'form' that asks you about your health (e.g. hospitalizations, allergies, gastric problems, and also your monthly issues). She will ask you to a simple colour blind test and also urine test.
Upon completing all those, she will send you to the doctor accordingly for a little body check up and questioning in regards to your 'form'. Think they do not want to take in ppl who will require MC every few months due whatever reason.
Next, you will be asked to take an X-ray at Lucky Plaza; and it will be two weeks of waiting.
As for your friend, I do not knw if hearing will be her problem again; but if it can be recovered, encourage her to try it out again! She must have got what they want that is why she got that far then.

i have never tried SQ. my first attempt was with Cathay Pacific and I was based in HK then. Missed Singapore so much but HK is a fun place with fun people. Now I am based in spore and quite not used to it anyway.
as my bond is ending soon, i wanted to give it a shot ot switch from Cathay to Sq.
As for my female counterpart, she is afraid to take that leap forward again after that failure. The doc then failed her bec she can't hear well and he thinks it will affect her and cause her to pay her bond eventually. so she was bumped out.
but she's surviving well in cathay she does not have a problem with the pressure at all. But initially she was wearing contact lenses and that did create a bit of problem. but she got her eyesight fixed by doing lasik.
for guys i heard if you are PES C and above, you have to be certified fit to fly or something. Notsure. can anyone enlighten? for me, they sure ask me why I want to switch from cathay to SQ?
Ha.. but i always have good compnay with SQ cabin crews overseas when we are in the same hotel. And a lot want ot join Cathay too.
Life... !
