Cathay interview

Gentlemen ( and ladies ),

To those that are scheduled to be interviewed or are planning to lodge an application, my recommendation is to read these two books:

First is - Handling the Big Jets - by D.P. Davies
Second is - Preparing for the Cathay Pacific Interview - The Pilot's Guide by Capt X,Y,Z

On top of this, better master the subjects in Aerodynamics, Avionics and Flight management systems and Met.

One of the questions are - How many jetstreams do you know and name them?
Another one is - What is the function of an aircraft's wing keel ?

Another one I can remember is - based on a Boeing FMC, what is the term of the problem you would encounter if you lose your inertial reference unit.
Answer: Mapshift

I'm scheduled for a second interview - Sim flying on a B747-200 and group exercises, psychological quizzes, medical and others.

Good luck to all of you. Anyone who want to avail of these books, let me know and I can buy them for you. If you happen to drop by Sydney, send me an email [email protected]

Go get them boys..... Mabuhay ang Filipino
