Questions about Cathay Pacific & Others

SIC, thanks for the info & I appreciate your comments...

Yeah I know that it seems you must have more experience to get to where you want to be in this industry..Honestly I wish these companies would just publish their actual preferred hiring minimums and most of all that the schools would be more realistic when trying to get your money and just tell you straight that you will need to bleed from the knuckles for a while...If you know what I mean... I have no problem working hard and my commitment level is 110% I would just like to get in somewhere early where I can commit myself & through hard work and tenacity build my career..!

On another note when you interviewed recently with CX, did you happen to catch where the 747 or MD11 co-pilot guys that where interviewing with you came from..? I have heard that EVA Air has a fairly good transfer over rate to CX do you or anyone else know if this is correct..? Reason I am asking is that my school does positively have a special partnership arranged with EVA Air, and the graduates from our PTIP program which I am in are preferred hires over at EVA, that is of course if you make the cut... It seems like a good building block Opp being they take you in as F/O for their cargo unit on either the MD11 or 747; however, they do require you to sign a 4yr contract. EVA seems like a pretty good company, but the pay & benefits are much better at CX, and I have heard that allot of EVA pilots go to CX after their contracts are up; so I was just curious if there is any truth behind that...

I am pretty confident that I can get on-board at EVA once my training is complete, their chief pilot stops by our school Simi-often and we are actually currently training a certain high level employee of the company to fly as well... Not to mention all of our advertisements now have our partnership with them highlighted, so I think I am ok talking about it as it was kind of hush hush before...Anyways any thoughts on this would be great...

Thanks
