    Hi Guys

    To clarify the SCFT JV is purely between SIA & CAE. Boeing are not involved in any capacity.

    “Singapore Airlines has the joint venture (JV) Airbus Asia Training Centre (ATC) and in August last year launched another JV with Boeing and CAE – Singapore CAE Flight Training (SCFT) – to expand pilot training.”

    Cheers

    Peter GM of SCFT

    Pilot training error’s….. easy fix:
    1) Pay Pilots for what they are worth!
    2) Dont workthem like rabid dogs on speed and expect them to be fit for a career of abuse by psychopathic managers!
