Advice appreciated!
There is no longer pilot recruitment at CX, it is a generic “People Department” (HR) with generic “talent acquisition” (recruiters) they spend most of their days either terminating motivated staff (like all the ground staff away from Hong along recently and then get them to reapply for their own jobs at lower wages) or helping people with their resignations.
They would have not have an idea what an aircraft or pilots licence would look like, let alone the difference between a good quality or poor quality school.
If you want to be a pilot like any job look at what will make you more attractive to a number of employers, do not lock yourself in. Keep your options open.
if you want to contact the CX recruitment staff, apply to Qantas, they are working there now.
Cathay is making other airlines great by providing well trained pilots with international wide body experience across the globe.
