I am pursuing Cathay and Dragon as well. At this stage no invitation as yet. Last communication with Dragon, I was bummed off the S/O listing to Direct entry F/O because I have exceeded the S/O hours entry requirement. My new minimum now stands at 4000 hours. No Airbus type rating neither.
From good source that they are expansing rapidly.
Would like to ask what are your qualifications? I have 2500 TT with 1200 turbine in the Metro 23. Care to comment!
