Cathay Questions
Hello,
I have an SO interview coming up in the next few weeks. I have the packet Cathay sent me but it is just more applications and forms, with no additional information about the job itself. So for whoever has time, here are some Qs:
How long are the SO - JFO upgrades running? What is involved in the upgrade, is it an 'up or out' type deal? If so how many people lose their jobs in the upgrade?
-
When is the earliest you can transfer out of HKG? I assume it's upon upgrade to JFO? What if the base you want flies equipment you're not yet qualified in? How does it work if you want to be based in say, CDG on a foreign passport?
-
How common are transfers from SO pax to FO freighter? Looking down the road I may want Chicago as a base.
-
What is the most current pay information for SOs? I have ballpark numbers but I cannot find this information anywhere..
-
What are the schedules like? How many days off per month would one expect to have? As an SO / FO / CA?
-
Finally, how bad is the air pollution in Hong Kong?
Lots of questions, I know. Thakns for any and all info.
