South Asia and Far East WannabesA forum for those applying to Cathay Pacific, Dragonair or any other Hong Kong-based airline or operator. Use this area for both Direct Entry Pilot and Cadet-scheme queries.
1. Whether your medical has any required follow ups 2. When the next available batch is 3. Whether you are ab initio or advanced entry
Could be a week to over a month, just depends on the above said factors.
On another note, on the Cathay careers website, they have now changed the wording of the ab initio requirement to "HKID Card Required". It is no longer "HKID holders will be given preference". Guess that settles that then.
As much as I appreciate your answer I would like to hear from someone who has been through the process recently or is waiting to go to flight grading now.
If you have no medical problems that need following up or anything else that might slow things down, what have been the average wait times from stage 2 to flight grading?
I heard today it could be as long as 4 months. Is that possible?
Isn't orangeboy right on..Would it not depend on at least those things,plus a few more,and wouldn't what has happened in the past have no bearing on what happens in the future..
How can anyone give you an answer on how long it will be will so many variables..
So just relax and wait,if you are not able to wait you are trying to get into the wrong profession
With the recent change of ab initio requirements on the cx website ie " Permanent HKID card required", does it mean those ab-initio non-hkid holders who were in the interview process prior to the HKID immigration ruling will now be thrown out of the waiting pool?
Anyone is doing CX flight grading CP 55 Batch 1? It starts on the 27th of October. If you are part of it please contact me! I want to know you before hand!
I just did the stage 1 interview and didn't make it. Definitely don't take it easy on the compass test, I thought I did quite well and got the dreaded rejection letter the following day.
Anyone know what their policy of re-application is? They haven't replied to my email.
Hi Yugo sorry to hear that, usually they will consider their application again after 1 year if it is not stated otherwise in the rejection mail. Hope this helps
Sorry to hear that Yugo, I send them an email after my rejection, and they promptly told me that they would consider a new application after 10 months. Good luck for the next time.
