I'm 17, still studying in secondary school (another year to go). I'm thinking about joining the CX CPP and I have a few questions concerning this.
1. Will going to an university make me better off or worse? - Will I gain my seniority faster or slower?
2. Does the program starts in May-July? I'll leave school in July and have my A-Level in August, do I have to wait for another whole year before I can join it?
3. How long does the program actually last for? I know there's 60 weeks in Aldeiade, is there other training in Hong Kong as well?
4. I read
http://www.pprune.org/forums/fragran...ml#post3845919 Do I have to be a cadet instructor for 3.5 years before I can be an S/O (which sounds ridiculous)? Do I have to pay back the training fees by any means (like lower salary)?
5. Is KA CPP exactly the same thing? From their websites I see no difference between both (60week in FTA..etc). If so, which one is better?
6. General questions about CX pilots - How long does it usually take to become a F/O? Do I have the chance to fly to different destinations? Am I stuck in a single type of aircraft?
7. May I NOT work for CX after the training? (Coz I heard that it's the worst airline to work for - low salary (even I'm HK-based), high workload)
Many thanks in advanced, there are many questions. I want to make sure I'd like to be a CPP (or CX pilot) before I decide to join it.
