Singapore Scoot is Recruiting

I was following the birth of a new baby of SIA, Singapore Airlines, the Scoot. It will be a new long hauled low cost airline competing with the Malaysian AirAsia x.

Scoot has started to recruit its staff. Over fifty pilots have been recruited and the airline is in the process of employing over 200 cabin crews. With the planned first flight in June this year, the airline is following the timeline to recruit and training of its staff. Most likely, it will rely on the training facilities and the programs of its owner, the Singapore Airlines.



According to this video, over 1000 people applied online. The airline, like the majority in this region does not go for experienced applicants. It is easier to train and shape younger inexperienced person.

As this a low cost carrier, there are a small difference in the selection criteria. The airline is going to basic, the beauty and polished mannerism is not what it look for. It wants people that can serve and keep the passengers occupied in the long sectors of its journey.

One of the item that will be unique for Singapore Scoot will be, the crews are expected to share room.
