I think first of all you need to be at least 18 years old.  Applicants can be Malaysians and other nationalities.  A pleasant disposition is a bonus.  There is a rigorous training regime that includes emergency procedures ad ettiquette.\n\nYou should contact SIA if you are really interested in a career with them.

I would suggest reading the book "What Color is Your Parachute?" for starters. Many times you won't know what you should do until you try it - and at 46, I'm just starting on the career I think I was 'meant' to do. HOwever, the experiences I've had leading up to this point were crucial to making me the person I needed to be to do this job. Nothing is a waste. You can be a lifelong learner, and always add something valuable to your life. Begin by volunteering in different areas of interest!

I have never been on a plane, funny thing is my sister is a flight attendant and flys every day of her life. I am deathly afraid of heights and dont ever want to be on a plane, but since I am going to Chicago soon, want to adopt a baby from Japan and Want to go to Hawaii for my honeymoon I guess I will be getting on one before too long.

I think this can help:\nCommercial pilot licence:  A student can get the CPL by doing his flying training for 129 hours to complete 250 Hour of flying.\nTraining facilities are available with Flying Clubs in India, Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Academy, Raibarelly, UP, Private Academies or Flying School in USA or Europe, Australia, Gulf,etc.\nEducation eligibility : XII(physics and Maths), Non-Science students who started flying before jan1,1994 were eligible for 1996 admission. Current PPL Licence needed with flying experience in the last 3 year.\nEligible Age : 18 years to 30 years.\nMedical fitness- As granted by AFCME, New Delhi/IAM, Bangalore.\nWritten Exam - Awritten exam in the following subjects is needed for getting the CPL:\nAir Regulations, aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Technical, Planning. These exams are conducted 6 times a year.\nActual flying experience required - 250 hours of total flying time(150 hours of solo, 25 hours of cross country, 10 hours of instrument flying , 5 hours of night flying).\nFurther Growth - CPL licence and training as a particular aircraft leads to a co-pilot assignment. Promotion depends as flying experience and vacancies. Co-pilots must have the required numbers of flying hours and licence. A pilot undergoes a never process of training. Proficiency tests have to be cleared almost thrice a year or more depending on the licence category and age of the pilot. The highest among the category of licences is the Air Transport Pilot Licence(ATPL) which allows the pilot to fly any type of aircraft. Licence has to be constantly renewed through passing medical and other tests every six months.\nhere the link that can be helpful http://www.careerage.com/resources/career_choices/airlines/pilot.shtml

Any recruiter is going to want you, it makes them meet their quota. No recruiter is going to refer you to another service, NEVER. Do what your heart tells you, but you have to get an education!! Marine Aviation was good to me.GOOD LUCK in what ever service you choose.

As an airline pilot, I suggest that you get your Private Pilot certificate, and even your instrument rating, before you commit yourself and large sums of money to pursuing this career. You don't know if you will even like it if you haven't had any experience in the cockpit.\n\nThere is sooooo much to for you to know about and to consider! It couldn't possibly be all covered in this forum.\n\nAs such, I suggest checking out my advice website about getting your PPL and airline pilot careers at- http://www.geocities.com/av8trxx99/FAQ.html\n\nAdditionally, this is a wonderful site created by a Delta Airlines First Officer to help answer questions from aspiring airline pilots-\nhttp://www.jetcareers.com\n\nRead them both over for lots of information you will need to know to make an informed career choice.\n\nFor general good info- http://flightinfo.com\n\n(The last two sites both have message boards.)

I am also fifteen and I am going to pursue a career as a pilot.  What you should do first, is go to your local airport, and go on introductory flight.  It alows you to fly the plane, and get a feel for it to see if you like it.  If you do, you should get your private pilot licence, and then get the rest of your licences and ratings if this is something that you really want to pursue.  It is $10,000 Canadian to get your private, and if you want to get all you ratings and licences, its about $50,000.  But if you really love flying, you should do it.  Sure it takes a lot of work and time (5-10) years to get to an airline, but once your flying a big heavy, it will all have been worth it.

There are 2 world-renown universities in Singapore:\n\n1) National University of Singapore (NUS)\n\n2) Nanyang Technological University (NTU)\n\nYes, there are many good opportunities to study and work in Singapore. In fact, 1 in 4 people in Singapore are from overseas. It depends on whether you have family commitments and whether you are older. If no, then Singapore is the land of opportunity and 5 years of bond is not a problem. Good luck.

Anything is possible, regardless how old you are - going to be.\n\nIt is viable to get your credentials as a multi-turbine aviator.  but it can get expensive, because there are not that many civilian operated flying schools that can teach a private citizen to be qualified on the operation of a commercial airliner.\n\nThe majority of commercial airline pilots got their flight trainning in the armed forces: i.e.; Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines.\n\nYou will have to do it the hard way, as a civil aviator.\n\nIt is possible, and eventually when you do get your credentials, remember that the FAA does enforce the mandatory retirement age of 55.  So get on it.  Time is running out!!!\n\ncheers babe!

Considering I have been through med school and went through a PHd program, I am curious as to how you are a thoracic surgeon at the tender age of 20???  Advanced standing students STILL take 4-6 years fresh out of high school and then about 4-7 years interning and residency and THEN surgery is EXTREMELY competitive and it can take years to become a surgeon ESPECIALLY a thoracic surgeon ... so tell me, describe thoracic surgery or did you learn it from ER?  I need to add to this, this person has other postings in which he had no clue whatsoever to any form of thoracic surgery and also states he is a psych major to pick up people on this site... go to myspace.com and spin your web of lies there

You need the general pre-requisites for any medical school.  Organic Chemistry, Biochemsitry, Physics, Calculus, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Immunology, Bacteriology/Microbiology,  Physiology, etc.\n\nDon't forget to take the MCATs.\n\nI don't know any med school in Singapore, but UC Davis has a pretty good med school in California.  \n\nMed schools have also started looking for students who aren't coming from a science major.  So you could take all the course work for med school, but major in psychology or a social science.  \n\nAnother important thing to remember is to volunteer.  Try to volunteer at a hospital or a free clinic in your area.  Med school admissions counselors love the volunteers.

Usually the first step is to get a "Demo Flight" from your local airport. If you like flying after that, you need to save up some serious cash, find a flight school (Flying Magazine is okay), word of mouth is better. Plan on flight instructing to build your time. You will starve for 10 years before "making a living" at the commuter airline level. If you are lucky

I would first suggest getting some books and studying for the military flight aptitude tests. I don't know about the USAF or Army, but I can tell you what I know about the USMC. The USMC is part of the Department of the Navy and both branches receive identical and combined, primary and advanced aviation training. So both flight training programs are approx. the same in duration. The Coast Guard also is combined in this training.\n\nWhen you decide to you want to become an aviator for the USMC you will sign an "air contract" with the OSO, complete the PLC or OCS program, receive your commission upon completion of college (4year degree) and then attend The Basic School. TBS is 6 months of additional training that all new Marine Officers receive. Upon completion of TBS, you will attend API an 8 week course, then move along to Primary Flight School and if you complete you will be selected for either fixed wing, rotary or the tilt-rotar platform. Next is Advanced Flight School where upon completion you receive your "wings of gold" and will be selected for a particular aircraft. Next you go to the FRS to learn to fly that specific aircraft and then finally you move to the fleet. This training can take anywhere from 16 - 30 months depending on how fast or slow they are training. There is no guarantee you will complete and become a pilot. It all depends on how much effort and studying you put in. There is also no guarantee you will fly the aircraft that you want. When my husband signed, an aviation contract was for a minimum of 6 years A/D service after receiving your wings... it may be 8 years or more now.\n\nSo, to answer your question you have an additional 6 months of training in the USMC, otherwise it's all the same aviation training for USMC, USN and USCG. What will get you to your dream of flying the quickest will be your hard work and dedication. If flying is your dream I say go for it! It's the hardest thing my husband's ever done but he loves every second of it. See which branch you will be proud to be a part of, not which one will get you in the air the quickest. Good luck!
