Talking My chances

Hi all

I currently hold a recreational pilots permit and have logged just over 100 hours. I have a desire to fly for a career and Cathay's program seems to fit what I'm looking for. I'm happily employed right now, in an exciting field that pays me 85K+ with bonuses and good benefits but I've always dreamed of becoming an Airline Pilot. I hold a university Degree as well a number of other military and civilian qualifications. A job as an airline pilot is something I'm willing to take a pay cut for. My questions are
  • What are my chances of getting selected for the program with my minimal experince in flying?
  • Are they currently hiring and expanding?
  • What would help to give me an edge besides holding a commercial license?
  • Has anyone on this forum been to the interview? If so, how much experience did you have before getting an inteview
If someone would help me answer these questions, I'd greatly appreciate it. I need to know if I'm wasting my time or not.
