i applied to Cathay for 3 years before i got called for my first interview. i just kept sending in updates every few months. when i got the call for the first interview i had about 3500 hours TT. i only have 22 multi hours, the rest is in singles, C172, C207 and C208B. don't really know how i got picked for an interview (they have about 20,000 applications on file), i don't know any one special at CX, all i did was keep on sending updates.
i found the best study book to be Airline Interview Questions explained by Captains ABC, you can get it by doing a search on
www.bookworm.com.au
also handling the big jets is a must read (about 4 times), although kinda dry.
good luck in getting your interview one day. hope i get another one too!
