Normally Rapid Commanders 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. Officers will be considered in seniority order, however appointments to the passenger fleet are subject to vacancies being available and may require relocation to Hong Kong.
The offer says
"in seniority order". It currently takes someone on the pax fleet about 9 – 10 years to upgrade to command. If you took a quick command on the freighter, you won’t be considered for a command slot transfer to the pax fleet for about 9 – 10 years from DOJ. If you were prepared to move across to the right hand seat to the rank applicable to your seniority on the pax fleet, you may see the pax fleet in about four years after all S/O’s on the pax fleet ahead of you in the seniority list have been given a shot at F/O.
