Military types
doubleu-anker. Who said Cathay needed a high percentage of ex-military personnel? It just may be that over the years the military forces have proved a fertile recruiting ground. Personally, it does not matter to me whether a pilot is military or civilian trained. The end product is what counts and Cathay knows that, having been very successful for a long time. During my time in both the RAAF and with civilian operators I found the vast majority of pilots were good guys and great pilots. The very few "boofheads" were not restricted to "military types", as you so quaintly classify them.
