I read all your posts.... and I'm also interested in applying to CX. I'm a HK resident, but I already have a PPL and is going for the CPL and multi-IFR ratings within these few months. I heard from a local F/O at CX that he was accepted directly as a S/O in local terms. He finished studying Engineering in the states and got his CPL multi-IFR with about 250 hrs when he applied. Does CX still do this for locals? If so, is it easier to get in with CPL or the Cadet program with a PPL?
Greatly looking forward to your inputs...
