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
Still researching and gathering information/costs for Cape Town. Also looking into New Zealand as an option too but in general, the costs are looking to be around 40-60% of HKIAA cadet program. I'd eventually want a multi engine instrument rating ATPL. I applied to CX cadet program 12 years ago and didn't make it after the interview. Since then, my career took another path and I've enough saved to consider HKIAA cadet program. I'm not young anymore, just turned 35 but the idea of pursuing this path again puts a smile on my face. I have no hours but have done a discovery flight in Cape Town and loved it. Will be going back to Cape Town this April for more.
