James and Beenthere,. .Yeah...go ahead and apply once you've got the 1000TT and ATPL writtens passed. Then submit your flight hours every 3 months or so to CX and in return you'll receive their acknowlegement in the form of a postcard(this info was obtained from this forum and I would recommend that you browse through the archives from before Sept11 to get a better idea of how things are done at CX). Hope it goes well and maybe you'll get lucky. But I don't know if luck is the right word given what's going on at CX right now.
