I am not an SIA pilot, but a struggling undergrad. Different people may define passion for flying in a different manner. But to me, someone with such a passion:

 

*thinks that the aircraft is such a beautiful object

*looks upwards at the sight/sound of a passing aircraft

*is amazed by the flight deck

*appreciates the fact that such a big piece of metal can overcome gravity

*most importantly, enjoys working with the machine. With all the challenges that come with it.

 

And doesnt give a **** about high pay, SIA girls, inflight entertainment, food and whatever ****

I wanted to say "Amen" to that, but apart from money, other commitments don't allow me to take up flying. :sob:

 

Can i ask a question to any sia pilots here?

 

What are the similarities between riding a bike and a plane in a practical sense.

 

While I'm not an SIA pilot (or one that holds a PPL at least; I only had some simulator time), the similarities in both is in that both have to have increased concentration while operating their vehicles.

 

The only difference? You'll be in intense concentration mode monitoring your cockpit's instrumentation and turning/adjusting more switches and controls more than when one simply and easily checks his speedometer/RPM/Engine temperature whilst shifting up/down gears on his motorbike.

i am sad to say nowadays not many ppl are like this... some joined SIA cos they happen to see the recruitment notice and so happen to get thru the interview and onto the course without even knowing wat ailerons, elevators rudders are... they are here for the glamour, lifestyle and of course $$$$... not the best paying job out there but still one of the top...

Just curious, what is the remuneration of a SQ pilot?

 

Went to the airport recently and suddenly I thought being a pilot is really an interesting job!

May I ask, do flying clubs in Malaysia allow public to rent a small plane and an instructor for a trial flight just so that I can get a taste of flying in a small prop plane? what's the rate like?
