increment wise, i can say in general, it ranges from 0 to 250, depending on the company and seniority. lowest i heard came from ST Aero, again, u need to ask around, i cant confirm.

lastly, if ur taking degree, i beg you, please do not take aerospace degree. please take something general like mechanical or electrical engineering. the market for those degrees is bigger than aviation degree, and they are still widely accepted by aviation companies.

so even though u hate or have no interest in mechanical or electrical, lets face it, its just 4 years of studying versus 20-30 years of working. i have a hard time using my diploma to find jobs in other industries like oil n gas.
take something general to be safe, u can study about how aircrafts fly via or online.

if u want evidence....go to jobstreet website and search under aviation and compare with other engineering industries. u can count the number of job openings under aviation versus everything else and how many wants mechanical/electrical engineering.

thats all from my sincere advice. if u still choose to take aerospace degree, go ahead, be confident and dont regret it in the future.

Hi all!

Do any of the gulf carriers offer TLAE's, to Singaporean?

Thanks!

nope, and if anyone is thinking of looking for overseas job. All overseas job requires experience. otherwise, why would they hire you without any experience while they can
pool a lot of talent from all over the world?

Besides, all of these countries offer traineeship to their local grads just like Singapore.

I've done high and low about TLAE's pathway. sadly, only SIAEC,STAERO and Jet Aviation.

1) Allowance(Diploma): 1st year=1.7k
2nd year= 1.8k
3rd year=1.9k
4th year= 2.something. forgotten.
subsequent year after that is around 2.6k and then follow the normal increment ladder.
1st type rating is 500, 2nd is 600, then 300 if im not wrong for the 3rd one.

2) training phase is 3 years, 4th year is assistant engineer. 5th year onwards is LAE.
training consist of SAR-66 CAAS modules, roughly about 15-16 papers to take, followed by practical training.

therefore no OT for first 3 years, 4th year however, i cannot ascertain.

3) if im not wrong the AL is about 15 days, will increase with the number of working years. during training phase u and your 'classmates' will decide when to clear the leave. thereafter you can use ur leave base on roster or how many LAEs have taken during that day, once max reach no other can take leave. or if u are assigned to an aircraft, quite hard to take leave.

all of the above infos are based on the first interview, they will tell u everything u wanna know, and some other infos are from my friend who are currently working as an LAE there.

LAE, like pilots, are only for those who are willing to go for no matter what the difficulties or shortcomings are during the training phase. in the long run, its the license is all u need.
for whoever are not willing to go through these phase, please just be a technician or tech services engineers.

Hi, very appreciate to your reply, by the way, does the SIAEC TLAE in the first 3 years need to take shift work? and how about the 4th year and onward. Thanks!
