I would have loved to work for cathay however,
had my first interview in sydney back in 2001 and was told within a few weeks that i had a second interview but was not given a confirmed date due to the cathay medicos wanting a monthly update on a minor medical problem.
after the 6 months of updates as requested i again spoke to the powers that be and continued to send more medical updates ,since then i have tried to contact with regard to my status and got nowhere.
the medical problem was that "bad" it didnt even appear on my medical as a requirement.
anyway about 6 months ago i finally gave up trying(bit of a shame but thats the way it goes in the aviation game)
