To all of those who have been through this process. How long does it usually take CX to respond to online applications?

It can take from 2months to 12months, obviously dependant on many factors

I applied in Dec. Do you know when is the next interview phase?

Not sure mate, but I know they are recruiting pretty heavily atm. 6 classes planned for this year I think.

if you go on their careers website, it will show you the interview schedule under "schedules" in the cadet pilot section.

it can be a long wait, so just be patient, no one knows how they select candidates, some are lucky and get an interview early, others have to just wait till their time is up, i personally waited around 10 months before getting an invite.

Not everyone will get invited for an interview. There is way more applicants than available interview slots. CX will only respond when inviting a candidate for an interview. Plain and simple.

Initial Schedule for 2011 - maybe subject to change without notice:


January - Hong Kong, Vancouver, Johannesburg, Kuala Lumpur
February - Hong Kong, London
March - Hong Kong, Melbourne, Singapore, Paris
April - Hong Kong, San Francisco
May - Hong Kong, Sydney, Vancouver
June - Hong Kong, London
July - Hong Kong, Brisbane
August - Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Johannesburg, Melbourne
September - Hong Kong, London
October - Hong Kong, Vancouver
November - Hong Kong, Adelaide
December - Hong Kong, Auckland



good luck

Been waiting since early 2008 for a SO/FO interview.

I have 3000hours total time with about 2300hrs B737 time.

I keep updating my application and not heard a thing from them.

At the rate people are turning down the job, shouldn't be long before they get to all of you..

Well played.
