And many many years ago, when I wanted to join Cathay as my airline career choice, ( this was the A scale days, so I know getting was hard)! However my 5000 hours total time and my 1800 hours jet time did not help me one little bit.
I did not pass the interviews or display the Cathay standard in the sim check.
No problems there.
What worries me now, as a about to be retired 777 captain, who in retirement would choose CX,
Who the hell is flying your planes?
