Alvin and Jason, aviation rules are govern by CAA or FAA. this guys are pilots too. they will never pass and allow a practice for a commerical flight to be handle by 1 pilot. |

| Jason | To Alvin: You are right…for now. I am sure in future pilots will still be required despite all the advancements in aircraft technologies/system. However, i am sure it will cut down the number of pilots required on board each flight from 3 to maybe just 2 or even 1. |

To JK : With the advancement of systems on board the aircraft, it does not replace the jobs of pilots. Auto-pilot, Flight Management Systems and other advance avionics only assist the job of pilots to ensure a flight is more properly managed in terms of safety, comfort and efficiency. ~ A seasoned airline pilot. |

Be a pilot is great. But he must be careful of politics and scandals. A pilot will live a pseudo-star life and have to be disciplined. Next pilots got to manager their love life well. Being overseas most of the time can cause serious problems such as doubts of trust. All the Carebears always says, “Love is all about trust”. But trust me with all these beauties around, your wife isn’t going to feel good at all even though your conscious is clear. - MAS pilot for 9 years. |

| Dan | Funny to read back some comments from last year. The airline industry really burst and several airlines are on the verge. Tickets are also cheaper so I guess the pilot`s salary have also decreased, if they could keep their job at all… |

2553 1. There are lots of Muslim Pilots in SIA. 2. You need a minimum qualification which can be found here 3. If you are successful is being recruited as a Cadet Pilot, they'll train you. Hope this helps. |

2504 Hi I'm a 16 year old student doing my GCE N Level Examination this year. Hopefully next year i would graduate with my O Levels. I have an ambition to be a Commercial Pilot since young, watching those fast jets on national day inspired me alot. I'm also very interested about how the humongous aircraft takes off and lands safely.I have a few questions and hope someone would clear my doubts. First, I've heard from some of my friends that its not easy for Muslims in particular to get into the aviation industry due to recent terrorist attacks. Secondly how am i suppose to go about in becoming a Pilot. I've a few ideas in my mind like taking up a Pilot license through Singapore Youth Flying Club or getting a diploma in aerospace techonology after my Os.I hope someone could help me out with these doubts. Thank You |

1825 Dear Mr/Ms Admin, I have checked with my friends with respective Airlines. Captains flying Wide body planes rack in a median of $271,888 per annum, which excludes allowances as you mentioned is quite there about for most senior crew. Inclusive all the allowances in will be close to a range of 300K - 500K++ annual (depending on seniority of the Captain in the Airlines). But again I agree with you totally, maybe it's not a common job. Hence it is not classified in the 100 jobs or taken notice commonly. |

1726 Yea right, Tequila....the aviation industry will burst unless the end of the world is coming or everyone stop flying for holidays, business trips or maybe another bad SARS or real bird flu spread worldwide until nobody dares to travel out of the house. If that's not the case...I guess it's a super boom time for travel industry be it Airlines, travel agencies etc especially Singapore IR and other big joyous events around the world happening. Think of all the big bonus major national Airlines are throwing out to their employees. |
