Firstly I am not currently involved with the Interview process nor have I been offered employment with Cathay.
I have however written to the HKAOA in response to the Ad on PPRune regarding the ban. Here is a response from Mr Clive Handley HKAOA to the inquiry.
"Dear Sir/Madam,
I am in receipt of your request to be notified by us when the
Recruitment Ban has been lifted. However, you can still go through the interview process without jeopardy as long as you don't actually start with the Company before the ban is lifted. This applies to all pilot ranks.
Regards,
Clive Handley"
Mr Handley states that there is no JEOPARDY in going through the interview process as long as you turn down the job at the end.
My question to you all is;
Who believes that going though the interview process and turning down Cathay's offer of a job at the end would not place your future, "Post Ban" with Cathay in JEOPARDY.
"Post Ban" how and will the HKAOA support those pilots who have turned down jobs in support of current Cathay pilots and the "49'ers"?
