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.
I guess you have to compare like for like, are tou comparing just up to a CPL with the HKIAA programme as that also presents you with ratings plus MCC and other things from what I remember?
Younger than me buddy, been rejected from CX too and looking at other options.
