cx application

[Rookie p]

Can any you guys tell me how long it took for Cathay to reply to your application for a cadet pilot?

I've sent mine off a few weeks ago and still waiting....

If the application isn't successful, will they bother to reply at all?

thanks, a reply from ANYONE would certainly cheers me up

[sunny_liverpool]

they will reply you in letters if you fail

normally it takes a month or 2 months before you recieve the 1st call of 1st interview

it is because cathay pacific only open 2 classes for cadets

hey rookie
i received an email today from the CPP for 1st stage on the 2xth NOV, any news for u?

[spooks]

Anyone knows the statistics for the CPP, like how many usually apply each year and the success rates.

From what I understand they're taking in around 20ish cadets every year. Will this number change soon seeing that they've taken over KA?

KA has here own cadet programme, so don't think there will be any changes in CX's cadetship.

Further, there are more slots available than suitable candidates

good luck with your application

could you please explain what exactly you meant by that? :confused:
thanks :ok:

Means that although lots of people apply, not enough people pass to fill the courses :eek:

So there's no plans for merging the CX & KA cadet programmes then? Wouldn't it be more efficient and cost effective to merge it into one like SQ's.

[capt_einz111]

KA aircrew are operating KA-aircraft, the CX aircrew are operating CX-airfract. So how do you want to merge the cadet programmes? KA and CX still having 2 seperate flight recruitment departments.

[sunny_liverpool]

because their management teams and operations are totally different, what merge means is Swire Group extract profits from CX and KA now.

SQ does the cadet recruitment and training for SIA Group's 3 airlines so any cadet can be booted off to Singapore Airlines, Singapore Airlines Cargo or Silk Air when they finish training.

So the same can be done for the Cathay Pacific Group and then maybe for the first time AHK would be hiring cadets. OK, so they are partly owned by DHL but that doesn't have to stop things...

Fine I digress, this forum's so full of pessimists....or am I one of the few remaining people that are not jaded in today's society.
