Cathay Cadet interview
First post on here. I was just curious if anyone knows if there is a difference between the Cadet Pilot Program interview and all of the other interviews I have read about online. My email talked about the Cadet pilot programme which I had applied to in August but I do have 1500hrs+ and thought someone on here might know. Anything anyone could tell me would be appreciated.

Got my date in YVR too.

Are we expected to give a "5 min presentation" as I've read about in previous posts? The email mentioned nothing in this regard. Any help would be appreciated. Also, what kind of flying experience do you guys have?

In the e-mail they sent me, it didn't mention about the 5 min presentation. I guess it's different for every region. becauselast year in HK, the stage 1 had 5min presentation tho
Do you guys need to do the technical questions in the interview?

no presentation
yeah i don't see any 5 min presentation on the email....i am worried about the tehcnical things though. Are we supposed to be pros with the 777 equipments? I keep reading about people having to define a dutch roll, are there any other twists like that on the actual test? I hear there was a round earlier this year, anyone could shed some light as to what they went through before? Are expectations hugely different if you have 50hrs of flight as opposed to 150hrs? man i have a lot of questions!

Hi guys,
I am from yvr. I applied several days ago. The following day I received an email from cathay recruiter saying they will consider my application along with other eligible applicants in the next selection in the same geographical location. Has anyone received the same/similar email when you applied and eventually got the invitation for interview?? Thanks...
