Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilot Programme
How many more times does it have to be said, it isn’t CX’s or the HKCAD's decision as to the 250 hour requirement. It is the HK Immigration departments call. Those that were already given a first interview date prior to the immigration department’s ruling in December were allowed to proceed and if successful would get a visa. If you didn’t have a stage one interview booked prior to December and currently don’t have 250 hours or a HK Residence Card, to put it bluntly, you’re sh*t out of luck. You DON’T meet the requirements for a HK work permit, period.

Because the invites were put out before the HK Immigration Department made their ruling. As I have said interviews occurred after the ruling in December and January because they were invited prior to the ruling and were assured visas by the Immigration Department if successful. If you don’t believe me, ring them and find out for yourself.

You’re kidding right? Why should they interview you if you don’t meet the requirements for the AE or TT cadet course? To get a work permit in HK, CX must sponsor you and to sponsor you, you must meet the requirements at the time of interview. My advise, go and do the flying and re-apply when you meet the requirements for the AE or TT cadets courses.
Then why would they invite pilots with <250Hrs, at the first place, for stage one interviews after December?!!

Wow A330! That is really amazing! A few months ago a lot of people bashed you up here about your english, but now, a cadet pilot! I'm sure you deserve it! Well done man! When are you going to ADL? Which CP?
Good luck homeboy! Wish you the best! Now it is our turn, but the HKG Gov don't let me pass the boarder anymore.

Hey All,
First time post, so please be gentle
I think I ticked a lot of boxes already, I got HK ID card, born and raised in Australia, fluent cantonese and english, currently living in Adelaide and working in the Aviation Industry as an electrical engineer..
Also planning to get 5-10hours at Parafield Airport in the next month to 'impress' the interviewers (if i get an interview)..
I submitted my Cathay cadet application in Jan 2012, and hopefully will get a reply soon!
Anyone here from Adelaide (or any cities in Australia) and still awaiting a response from Cathay? If so, how long have you been waiting for?
Much appreciated,
lucky86.

Lucky86, for which interview location did you applied for? If you choose HKG, I'm sure you will get the first interview sooner then another location! But it also depends on the recruitment team. But now is the 61 wks programme only available for HKID holders, so I think the recruiters will stay in HKG.
Best of luck!

hello captain weird,
I stated i want my initial interview in adelaide, hopefully that does not deter my chances in getting an interview.
More than happy to travel to HK for an interview ofcourse, but that as CX expense?
Cheers

flyber, you are probably best asking CX directly - i've actualy heard of some people having their ICAO after flight grading, when they go to HK to complete some HR type course before heading off to Adelaide for official training. Some people do the ICAO test before their stage 2. I think it just depends on the circumstances and CX's schedule.

It may be to do with if you speak fluent English as if it were your native language. If you do they don't worry about it so schedule your test when possible. If your English is not perfect they probably get you to do the test during selection.
