Well well~~ it's time to post. :) as promised from the previous post, I will further elaborate about what's the diff of bein a RSAF(republic of singapore air force) pilot and bein a commercial pilot. First of all let me talk about the age requirement for both categories. u need to be 18 years old to join the RSAF, but to join SIA, u need to be at least 26. BUT~!!! the retrement age for RSAF pilot is 44 which is freakin young and they will give u retirement fund of $700K. and u think tat will be enough for u to spent for the rest of ur whole life? Whereas the retirement age for a commercial pilot is Btw 65-67. And the following info I am goin to show u are the salaries of the pilots~~
~RSAF pilot~
Pilot trainee- salary range from $1,870 to $3,980, depending on your educational qualifications.
Aftr earning your wings- salary range from $3,980 to $7,255 for a start.
~SIA pilot~
trainee- salary range from $1,600 to $3,500
Second Officers- *note,This rank can only be attained if u had pass all ur courses and test and the salry range from $ 2,035.00 to $ 3,325.00
First Officer- salary is based on wat type of plane u fly-
(B777/A340) $ 5,150 - $ 8,500
(B747-400) $ 5,600 - $ 9,250
(Airbus A380) $ 6,050 - $ 9,250
Captains-
(B777/A340) $9,300 - $ 15,300
(B747-400) $10,000-$16,500
(Airbus A380) $10,700 - $16,500
K ba tats all for both Pilot's salary. OK let me now further summarise. Bein a commercial pilot wld take a longer time thn bein a RSAF pilot and the startin pay for RSAF pilot wld be higher, but dont worry, when u get ur captain rank ur pay will be like 2 times more thn a RSAF pilot.
And last time, I used to have a wrong concept. I always thought of goin for PPL( private pilot licsence) and joinin The air force, but PPL and attainin a RSAF pilot licsence have no link at all. Whereas PPL wld come hand in hand when u are gettin a commercial pilot licsence. AND~!! i always thought the government wld provide me with further studies when I am in RSAF. Tough this is true, but from wat i now, alot ppl wld rather not go for further studies when they actually have a pilot liscence. and their highest degree could be jus a diploma or jus a A level cert. and u think~ after they retire, wich is only 44 yeas old, will they be able to get another job? k la this is true la. Try askin ur sch's security guard. Ask them wat's their prevous job. They will tell u they are frm the armed forces. K la i am not trying to discriminate them and not tryin to say security guard is not impt. But wat i am inferrin is, get a higher degree first before joining the armed forces or be it RSAF. Government will always Look at ur degree and pay u by how much u are worth.
And if anyone of u out there wanna join SIA or other air liners, go the normal road~~, meaning after secondary go for JC, after JC go for uni and if best, take aero space in uni and by thn if u join SIA, it will not be too late. haha oh ya and it's not easy to even pass trough their interview, and most importantly u mus have the 1st level of health condition. As for me, I will get my PPl frst and I will cont pursuin my dream as a pilot. WOOTS~!!! cheers everyone~!
the above info are some from (askcaptainlim), (mindef) and from outside ppl~~ cya.

Some things had finally come to a stop... a abrupt stop... a fire which had been buring for days had just been put off like tat~~ I hope i did not make the wrong decision~, even if i did, i will not regret it~ WOOHOO~ it's time to get back on track~! be who u are 'Eric'~! no more mushy talk, no more late night chattings, all had just turned to blessings :)
oh ya ppl, recently i had made a great discovery, credits goes to JL and pramesh. A nick tat use to appear as RSAF RSM, wil soon dissapear. Welcome the all new SIA CAPT :) haha LOL. Reason being, as I had jus said a new discovery was made. Wat dicovery??are u interested? find out from me if u wanna know~ kekex stay tune to the nxt post for the ans~!
Another thing, i have to give an ans on the 21st. wat ans? A ans tat concerns the sch's future~ and somehow concerning my future.~~ and I had somehow suggested to Mr Lim about changin our PB(prefectorial board) name to SC(student councilor) which sounds more zai and cool, but i
realised the name SC has alot more meaning to it. wat really makes a SC diff from a PB is tat, in PB there mus always be a leader and the ppl are somehow dead or like ppl call them 'dogs' cause they only follow orders from the upperhand and they seldom have the rightd to voice out their opinion. But for SC, everyone has equal status and they are all independant, truely independant and they can take initiative in anything. tats why u can see our sch prefects de standard. It's really atrocious. ok dont talk abt others, look at me~ hair so long, go back sch like tat and i hack care. wat will my juniors think? Obviously they will oso follow la. So i promise to make a change when it comes into my batch's era. there will be changes made. I make sure we are fit enough to live up to tat name 'student councilor'. I know all these will be jus bull shittin if i dont get any help from PB or even from CCHY sch mates. U all are impt to make a diff :)
CHEERS~!
