Do you have the right to live and work in Hong Kong? Do you have a Hong Kong ID card? If your answer is no you are wasting your time applying to CX. Unless you qualify for the Advanced Entry Cadet Scheme, i.e. ≥250 hours you are sh*t out of luck I’m afraid. The Hong Kong Immigration Department has told CX no more work permits will be granted for international applicants who don’t meet this requirement.

If you do have a Hong Kong ID card you had better have a very very good reason why you haven’t done any flying lessons to date. I have heard all the excuses before, i.e. no money etc but for someone who lives in the USA, that won’t cut it. If you have a true passion for this industry you would’ve made it happen by now, no matter what the barriers.
