The is no walk-in interview anymore. So those who attended the face to face interview are candidates who had been shortlisted after submission of videos of themselves to SIA.
My concern is that some people (ex crew, current crew as well as some members of the public)are discouraging the wannabes not to fly for SIA. They cited reasons like flying has no future, exposure to Covid-19 etc. My request to those people is that give these young men and women a chance to get their dream job. This is the best time to get into the airline. The reason is because SIA is very short of crew and it's much easier to be recruited during this period.
Wannabes go for it and don't let the pessimists and others discourage you.

Hi Boh Tong
As a avid reader of your blog, it's best to let them know the actual truth of being a CC then for them to have this delusional idea that CC is glamourous blah blah blah
Your entries from >10 years ago still resonate with current situation - low pay, demanding paxs, competitive airfares, SQ cut costs, little layover rest, to name a few.
It's a job. Not a career. I think 5 years is enough because how many times CC want to visit the same destinations SQ goes to.
The novelty of travel will die off soon after 2 years and CC be longing for home for sure.
Singapore is not as welcoming as it once was. Many Singaporeans hate foreigners for affecting their rice bowl,including those in the hospitality and tourism industry.
Just look at the recent changes on hiring foreigners. Pretty soon you'll only have 'local' crew.
while i agree with BT that wannabes should chase their "SQ dream", but i think BT should be a responsible writer to let those wannabes know the truth behind all the PR stunts by SQ, esp on the low to zero prospect, heavy pay cut done in many many ways, reduced insurance coverage tier etc.
only those who can accept them should go for their SQ dream, if not, do something else and be passenger instead.
To the one just above: Don't be a sour grape!
maybe can outsource to india since SQ's main profit comes from india routes!
Hi Both Tong
I wholeheartedly agree with the comment whom you called sour grapes.
It's true CC can visit many places in few years than most people in lifetime - the job shouldn't be a lifetime career. Just ask the senior crew who still 'stuck in the air' after 30+ years because once grounded, it's taxi driving time.
