[Patches O'Houlihan]

hey guys

i know the Cathay SO minimum's are 1000hrs, frozen ATP, but does anyone know what sort of experience the guys have who are actually being called for interviews?

P O'H

[stansdead]

I have had application in for six months to a year.

3000 hours, including 1300 B757, 1000 A320 and 200 A330.

Not had a sniff of an interview.

[BYMONEK]

Overqualified mate. You should get a command at Ryanair with those hours!:p

[stansdead]

BYMONEK,

Too F?ckin right I would. If they were lucky.....

[Howard Hughes]

I've had an application in for 3 years, 5600 total, 4000 multi-crew turboprop, 3200 is command multi-crew and still no call, but I guess I am a little older....:{

[SIC]

I applied about 6-8 weeks ago, got the call for first interview the other day for June 8th. Anyone else going on the 8th?

Cheers, Heavy:ok:

[SKYTORT]

WOW - it's amasing to see how some people get called within a matter of weeks and others wait years! I have been applying for years now (3+) and still no smell a call. 2500 TT, ICAO ATP, Instructors rating etc, 1000+ turbine...I also want an interview:{

Anyway, good luck to those going for the interviews - all the best:ok:

[Jaguar7777]

Have been updating for about 4 years.

June Interviews just booked in. :D

Currently - 3100TT, 1300 turboprop regional RPT, EFIS.

LOTS of study to do in the next 4 weeks. Fingers crossed. :}

[SKYTORT]

I am really happy for you guys!

Like I said, I have about 2500, and from other resources it looks like 3000+ is the bench mark. The only thing keeping me going now...

Good luck

[SKYTORT]

Does anybody know if B1900 time (P1 on type) is good enough, or should I consider something bigger by now. I have about 500 P1 on type and have been applying for quite a while now...

Later:ok:

[bigbeerbelly]

Skytort,

My guess with CX is get on a jet ASAP. The bigger the better.

[SKYTORT]

BBB,

What you're saying is so right, and I think it counts for almost any other company. As we all know, it is just very hard to get a job on a jet. I think the quickest way would be to go for a payed rating, but I don't really want to do that unless I REALLY have to. I am still young, so I can take advantage of my age.

Some personal friends of mine have made it in there with very little experience on ATR's/1900's etc, so it is quite difficult to determine what the exact path would be to follow.

I have my heart set with these guys so I have to make it somehow!!

Cheers

Were you at the Air Inc seminar in ATL? Just wondering what your background is. RJ capt maybe?

[EV120]

You are correct in my background. I am in fact an ATL based CRJ capt.

However I was not able to attend the Air Inc. seminar. I was working. I do have a few friends and coworkers who were there.
