Yes, we operate 2 crews so we can assist each other. So next time when you are asked by ATC that question, you can ask you captain to figure it out for you. Or. you FO. They are here to help =D Good CRM

Yes check the FTA's site, it gives you an idea what it is like, dont think you can get prepared for it. Although I do think you should be well prepared for stage 4 by the preparation for stage 1-3.


By the way, is that 5 mins presentation just like a stand-up talk , or power point presentatioN?

thanks everyone

Flight Grading

The information on flight grading in the FTA website is outdated. The links below are better:

Hi there all,

I'm new here, though I have been prowling the forums for the best part of a week! Just a quick basic question, it may require guesswork. I graduate university in June 2012, when would be the best time to put in my initial application for the cadetship scheme, considering it takes so long for a reply! I'm from London if that makes a difference. Also, do you know how many courses run a year and when do they commence?

Thank you in advance.

Received a Call

I just received a call from Cathay. My stage 2 and 3 is on the 7th and 8th of September. I am very excited, and at the same time, I am very nervous to get through the test...

Does anyone know what to expect from the Stage 2/3 interviews in HK for expats? I have read there is a math test, medical, and flight planning. Is there anyone who has recently been through these stages that would care to share their experience especially in the actual interview?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

after how many days did you guys receive your call?


I mean for the 1st stage.
Also, if you are unsuccessful choose, do they even reply if you have been rejected for the 1st interview?

I'm from india, and applied a month ago, still no response.
I'm really scared and waiting what will be their reply

thank you.

Im still waiting Coolfizz....

I dont think you will receive a yes or no from the initial screening (when you fill out the online application) but you will definetly receive a yes or no when you go for your Stage 1 interviews.

You should receive a reply within 6 months, if not, then carry on with whatever else you had in the pipeline. Thats all I can say.
