Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thank you
Which flight school in South Africa, what are the costs? You just want a CPL or Multi Engine instrument rating Atpl exams etc?
How many hours do you have. For what it's worth some people have an easy road in CX application and others get grilled especially on the tech interview, it is not consistent from my experience.
CX would be first choice as you would have a ready made career. HKIAA second as you log hours and the belong to you, no P2X ones and likely you get in with HK airlines GBA or HK express. Cape Town would be third as you will need to add a few years onto your journey doing GA probably flying around building your hours.
Also depends on your age, if you are 20 I'd do Cape Town, if you are 35 + I'd focus on the other two
