hey..
just went through 160 of the 200 odd pages of this thread.
i have one question. couldnt seem to find the answer anywhere else.
according to the posts in this thread, u will be a SO for 4 years(or more..with terrible living conditions etc etc etc.. heard enough about that)
now coming to my question: does this 4 yr SO to JFO apply to the icadets?
or to everyone joining cathay?
what about the advanced entry SO's. during my interview i asked them this very question and they said 3-4 Months ..(MONTHS)
but after reading this thread i seem to have misunderstood. either they didn't understand my question, or i didn't understand their answer.
under the new recruitment scheme, how long would someone be a SO?
also.. why does it take 4 years to get promoted? its not like a second officer does much, or the job is very challenging.. so why 4 years? am i missing something ( i must be!)
constructive criticism is very much appreciated!
thanks.
