Quote:
Normally freighter crew will operate Freighter Aircraft for not less than three (3) years from the date of the successful Aircraft Line Check or forty-two months from Date of Joining, whichever is less. At the end of this period, crew may continue to operate Freighter Aircraft or they may bid to operate Cathay Pacific Passenger Aircraft. Should a crew member be successful in their bid to operate Passenger Aircraft, the crew member will retain their seniority, and will commence employment on the Passenger Fleet as a First Officer. Officers will be considered in seniority order however
appointments to the passenger fleet are subject to vacancies being available and other requirements and may require relocation to Hong Kong.
