Singapore Airlines ( the passenger side ) has not hired foreign First Officers for quite some time. They do occasionally hire Direct Entry Commanders, but even that has happened in a few years. Most of the foreigners are now hired at Singapore Cargo. The pay and conditions at Sing Cargo are lower than mainline. Sing Cargo is currently hiring Captains and advertising for Cadet pilots with the following requirements:

Career

Position: Cadet Pilot

This is an entry level position of candidates with no commercial flying experience, but who are keen to join as cadet pilots. To start as a trainee, you should ideally be in your twenties.

Medically fit with visual acuity of at least 6/60 without optical aids, correctable to 6/6

Some years of working experience preferred
Employment
Successful candidates will be offered employment with one of the companies in the SIA Group:

Singapore Airlines
SilkAir
SIA CARGO
Training
You will spend 15 to 17 months on training to acquire an Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence (ATPL) with Instrument Rating (IR) at Pilot Training Schools in Singapore and overseas. Full board and lodging will be provided. Upon obtaining the flying licence, you will undergo further training of 1 to 2 years to become a First Officer.

Remuneration and Service Benefits
A monthly allowance will be provided during training. On appointment as a First Officer, you will be paid a basic salary and various allowances. Fringe benefits, including medical & dental treatment and discounted travel will also be offered.

Successful candidates will be required to serve the employer company for the duration of the training and for a period of 5 to 7 years from the date of appointment as First Officer.

Sing Cargo has hired First Officers in the past. They now have a joint venture with Great Wall Airlines in Shanghai where you'd have a better chance.

Getting the European JAA licence is difficult. Those tests require some serious studying.
