Finished all cpl theory and currently in the process of completing atpls. Clocked just over 150hrs in the logbook.

I understood I only need "the right to live and work". But have there been any recent occurrences where CX has fully funded a foreign national?

Any insights are much appreciated.

Clear skies and tailwinds!
Reality:
  • CX is bleeding with experienced pilots due to toxic work culture, condesending pay system known as POS 18, insecured T&C
  • Demands are on guys who have wide body jet time, not P2X.
  • They need experienced pilots, not cadets, not SOs.
  • CX is turning itself to a Chinese Airlines by opening the iCadet scheme to Chinese Nationals which has never been done before.
Now, based on this trajectory, do you honestly think they would waste their time to look at you when you don't have any jet time and you are not HKPR nor Mainland Chinese National?
