I think your thread title is misleading, the advert has nothing to do with hand flying or automation dependency.
The statement she made was that after 13 months you come out of training as a commercial pilot. Factually correct, nowhere did she mention the word 'pro'.
Cathay's training standards are amongst the highest in the world. The advert was well put together and it is good to see a world class airline sponsoring cadets.
I am sure your biased, inaccurate and actually quite pointless thread will be removed.
