Well one out of ten seems to be the pass rate for the sim interview right now if not worse. Seriously.
A very experienced mate of mine who has plenty of international experience on Airbus based in Asia put in an application with CX/ANZ/QF at the same time. He now has an upcoming interview with both ANZ and Qantas, but as you see below the latest standard response from CX, which he updated every month.
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise with CX incompetents, especially with all the debacle with fuel hedging, command upgrades times, pollution etc he now putting his energy into going back down under.
He was mystified if Cathay has all these highly experienced applicants but only 1 in 10 can pass the simulator, wow I guess 7500tt 4600 Bus time isn't experienced enough !!
