Hi All

I am based in the UK and was sent the stage 1 interview in London for the cadet program at Cathay this morning.

Originally applied sometime ago, as I finished commercial training at the start of the recession in the UK, although still looking to join a multi crew operator.

Already have JAA CPL / IR with MEP, SEP ratings and working for a small SEP AOC operator getting hours up around full time job.

Based on reading this thread I gather then following:

1) Have to go to Australia and do training again
2) House Allowance removed
3) Pay / package not great
4) Type Rating, what is the issue with the type rating? Read comments about it being non transferrable

In summary is that roughly correct?

I am seriously considering replying and not attended but want to get the facts right first.
