How many pilots do Cathay need?

[Flyin Low]

Lots of expansion going on at the moment, anyone know just how many pilots they need? And in the near future?

I have heard HR is hiring 250 per year.

hi, I was over for my final interview in march, got friendly with one of the sim instructors at the "cocktail function", he said they are taking 250 per year increasing by 10% per year for at least the next 10 years!!

i didn't make the 250 for this year, :uhoh:

Keep trying guys, do they hire all at the same time or do they hire a certain amount per month? Lots of luck next time!


Cheers!

do they hire all at the same time I'm not in recruiting but my guess would be that training 250 people in one hit might be a big task...

Regionals like CHQ, Skywest, ExpressJet do it all the time and they are very cost conscious, you would think an internationally acclaimed airline could handle 250 pilots in one year.

What's the times looking like these days to get a call? I'm at 3800 tt (most of it 121 jet) and still waiting....

Not that much, got an interview, 1400 hrs tt......I think times are changing for the better, big problems regarding recruitment in asia for the next coming years....

Thanks very much for pointing that out, only that wasn't the question asked was it?

Apologies for my misunderstanding, I thought the question asked was:

Do they hire all at the same time (ie at the same time) or do they hire a certain amount per month (ie hiring 250 people over a period of time (say 12 months)).

Thanks for clearing that up.

Steady on mate......steadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..............

Okay, I can see that might have been a little punchy...

They recruit throughout the year, at different locations, followed by second interviews in HK. Ballpark min is 2500-3000 but it does depend where you are from.

Cheers
