Sorry guys
where did you read about this opening
In the CX website is clearly stated "we are only recruiting second officers"
and i couldn't find anything else.

[cyrilroy21]

It was there on the CX website in the earlier when i published this post .
They seemed to have removed it

Requirements for Captains was 6000 total with 3000 Jet PIC international ops

Would be assigned to the Freighter fleet for atleast 3 years before you could bid for the passenger fleet

Preference for 747 type rated and Widebody PIC

I followed the link posted by cyrilroy21 and, its true, it was there but they must have removed it.

So was the rapid command position really there, or was it a mistake by the IT dep?

A mistake by IT, symptomatic of the cuts made by the mill-owners. CX crew even have trouble accessing their rosters from the system, and I won't go into the double-taxation shambles which is happening now.
