Anybody care to share their experience in the 4 months training?
Funny encounters, difficult challenges, funny people....
1) Do people still get kicked out during the training?
2) How different is A380 training....heard it's 8m high for water confidence???
3) How much swimming is there? Need to swim without life vest?

oh icic..that's for existing training right?
over the next few years, they should by my belief gradually phase out the current training for these 2 aircaraft types,
and slowly introduce more 787s, A350 and A380 training...
as those are the new generation of fleet to replace existing and to add upon current strength...
with so many different planes, will indeed be a challenge to teach us everything....

the training at stc covers a lot and be prepared to take some tests. Don't worry too much about the tests though because you may retake them once if you fail. Do study hard for the tests because the passing requirements are high!
You should go on your first training flight after about close to 3 months of training. altogether during the 4 months you will go on 4 flights. After that, the much anticipated graduation ceremony! Try to get your batch mates to prepare for it early as it gets quite busy towards the end of training
At stc, just don't forget your Ps and Qs, smile and be nice to everyone including the cleaners and you should do fine. =)

I dun thk they will phase out 777 cos it has the most no. in the exisitng fleet..(the 777-200,200er,200A and 300) but i thk they will phase out the 744 becos it is quite old already now SQ is looking forward for the arrival of the 777-300ER.. so i guess it wld be additional training for those trained for this fleet.. as for the 380s,350 and 787s i thk they will sitll select different teams to operate it. Not all pple will be trained

During training, can I apply for leave, say half day or even a few hours off? Cuz I have a test on a Sat, and apparently now Sat also has training. Please help. Thanks.

yes you're allowed to for certain reasons, don't fret too much you'll have lotsa days off during training k!! as long as your reason is valid, you will be given an allowance off.

U sure? afaik, SIA doesn't look kindly on anyone who misses training, esp group training, for any reasons other than on compassionate grounds. The best way around this is really to speak to the instructor in charge of that day's training and try to weedle a few unofficial hours off. If it's a slack fella then it shouldn't be a problem.

SQ to hire 2000 more cabin crew
I’m taking this as a positive sign that the flight industry is coming back, perhaps now it is finally safe to say that SG is reopened for good.
