Jumbo744 · 16th Jul 2009, 11:39

i got a call yesterday night at 11pm :-) I'll be there!! Flying from Montreal.

At first I thought it was some marketing company calling me, I almost hang up the phone when I heard ''calling from Cathay Pacific'' :-))

AQIS Boigu · 16th Jul 2009, 13:04

sorry guys...are we talking cadets or direct entry here???

A340x · 16th Jul 2009, 14:36

I got a call also for the CPP. But still didn't receive the email.
JUMBO744, did you also receive an email with all the details?

ILS32R · 16th Jul 2009, 15:11

Hey random question,

Did the call come from area code 925?

skyhighbird · 16th Jul 2009, 15:44

nope +852 (Hong kong).

never heard of 925

Jumbo744 · 16th Jul 2009, 17:39

A340 check your PMs! I received the email this morning!
No phone number showed up on my phone! And we are talking about cadets!

AQIS Boigu:

The DESO program is being replaced by the new Cadet Program. The Cadet Program has a full course for applicants with no or little flight experience and a pre-qualified course for pilots with CPL or ATPL and this is a 2/3 shortened course. Advantage for CX is the cost savings of hiring cadets on local terms and Cadets have to serve min 36 months as SO, before JFO upgrade.
Apparently no shortage of applicants for the new program.

The DEFO program is shelved at the moment and might be opened again if CX is in need of qualified FO's in times of rapid growth. Might take a while as CX is around 250 pilots heavy at the moment, retirement Age 65 started this year (less retirements in the coming years), a huge pool of qualified SO's waiting for their JFO upgrade and CX is actively recruiting cadets for both programs.

Just curious, does anyone here with an interview not have a HKID? Are you guys really 'expats' looking to get into the cadet program?

Jumbo744 · 24th Jul 2009, 00:06

i don't have an HKID. Never been to HKG in my life.

Macarto · 24th Jul 2009, 00:19

Hey, dont you guys need to be a PR at HK first in order to work for CX

MJetR · 27th Jul 2009, 18:14

Hi guys,

I will be attending the stage 1 assessment on Aug 21st 2009, from 11am - 2pm. Anyone else also attending that day?

Where are you guys and girls staying? Any idea what to expect specifically?

I understand there is an English test, reasoning test and an interview.

Jumbo744 · 28th Jul 2009, 15:17

Cheers
