Reality check required??
Mickie Video, Cathay are NOT repeat NOT hiring direct entry Pilots. I believe the Cadet scheme may be unaffected but you need to be a permanent resident of HKG to do this (details are on the website I am sure).
We are in the middle of a major economic crisis resulting in CX parking jets and getting 99% of its staff to take leave without pay as we cut capacity.
Last year when things were booming the MINIMUM requirements to be COMPETITIVE were, as previously stated, 2000 hours+ with most new hires either ex Military or T.P. Captains/RJ Co's.
I don't mean to offend, but do you really think there is any point in writing a letter to recruitment when we are not hiring, and even if we were, your nowhere and I mean nowhere near qualified? BTW to answer your question its not C.D. anymore.
