DEFO Training accomadations
Can anyone answer a few questions. I will be starting F/O training on the freighter in a few months and was wondering:
1. How long does the training take. We were told at the interview that it was 4-6 months. Why would some take 4 months and others take 6 months. Is all the line training in HK or does some of the line training take place at your base.
2. Does Cathay expect you to bring your wife and kid with you to Hong Kong for the training. 6 months is a long time to be away from the wife and newborn.
3. If they expect you to bring the wife along, does Cathay give your wife and child a positive space ticket to come to Hong Kong?
4. Is it true that you can stay in a serviced apartment in the city. If so how much is the monthly allowance? Do some guys do this?
5. How long does it take to convert your ATP to a HK ATPL. or does it depend on how many tests you have to take? Is this in HK, I know the S/O's go to Adelaide?
Thanks
