Initial interviews are invariably quite relaxed. Obviously you will be probed in areas relating to your background and technical knowledge. Interviewers will be trying to assess your capacity to absorb our unique training system lol and to fit in in Hong Kong. If you are married or have significant partner then their ability to settle in Honkers will also be looked at. Doubt that the 'dispute' will be an issue, I probably wouldn't push that one yourself either. Your decision to join or not can be made later. When you come to Hong Kong there is the usual proliferation of tests/medicals to endure and a cocktail party. Simulator used is the Classic 747 and quite a nice one it is too. If you are looking at Cathay mainline and not freighters then your partners will also be invited to Honkers for final interview. That is the time to get the feel for yourself on the atmosphere in relation to the dispute. CX is still a great company and operates great equipment. Hong Kong is a blast the most fun place you can be in standing up. Good luck to you all.
