Transferring to CPP from within the CX company

[dimsum]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has heard of people transferring into the Cadet program from other parts of the Cathay Pacific company (management, HR, finance, whatever). I guess my application is still "on hold" b/c the HK gov't didn't consider me a permanent resident, but I'm considering applying to a ground position and working/waiting the 7 years until I regain Permanent Residency. Although....it'll put me at the 29-30 age range.

Anyone have any suggestions/warnings about it? From every single aviation-related prof in my program, CX seems to be a good company to work in, airside and groundside...

Thanks!
Dimsum

Transfering within a company is a normal thing. I do not see any problem on doing that approach. However, I don't think it's a good idea to work in Hong Kong for 7 years because of the cadetship. There are some other ways to become a pilot.
