what are the chances of being reconsidered, following an unsuccessful final interview?
thanks guys.

Not very good. You certainly wont be looked at in the near future. Depending on your age and how desperate they are for pilots, CX may consider you futher down the track. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Sorry, and bad luck, better luck next time.

[half-full]

:) ok, thanks. i asked the question in behalf of a buddy. i'll still wish him the best of luck.

They are calling around everyone trying to get any takers. Hold on, it won't be long now...

flexibleresponse...thanks! by the way, just flew in from hkg. like it better than changi.

I don't think he got that, Flex.

Q.E.D. your point on standards.

[EMB Bras]

Hydrolix...
Not sure where you get your info, but I know of a few guys who got a 2nd try, nailed it and are now in. One even got in on 3rd attempt.
So yes, it is possible after an initial rejection half full. Usually re-apply 1 yr after your last interview.

[shortly]

Depends on a lot of factors whether you get a go again or not. Experience level, actual results and attitude will decide. Dear old Flex you haven't got a clue. Latest finals up here have yielded a bunch of stars, buckets of hours and good skills too. Lots of ex-Ansett guys/gals all desperate for work. No diminution in standards at all, maybe even better prospects than when you applied.

Sorry about your disappointment half-full. Which position did you interview for? Was it S/O, F/O on CX freighter or Air Hong Kong regional freighter?

[half-full]

que sera, sera.

What was his problem on second interview?

[half-full]

he says the sim ride might have been the coup de grace. the others, though, found it as difficult, if not more.

[tone-uncage-fire]

shortly may be able to correct me if i'm wrong but it is my understanding that the sim ride is a pass/fail item. you must get 55/75 marks - no exceptions.

bear in mind they have your sim ride report prior to the interview and you will get the chance to comment on your own performance. if i was in recruiting, i'd look really closely at how you assessed you own performance/errors and how you'd do differently next time.

[half-full]

thanks fr8t m8te. he interviewed for s/o.
thanks for all your replies, honest or otherwise.

[Speedlever]

Don't give up, I had two interviews. First one back in 2000. Two and half years later I was offered another shot. Second time lucky I guess. If you get a second go I recomend buying some sim time . Good luck to all.

[shortly]

TUF is very close to the mark in scores, but some quite lower over the years have been taken on after consideration of everything they did/have done. Many folk have been given a second chance, don't give up hope. I assume you were given advice on where it was thought you could 'pick up'. Obviously follow that and do try a sim ride before you come up again if you can. Keep pestering them. The squeaky door etc.

[FlexibleResponse]

Standards are being lowered in an attempt to get the numbers required.

[fire wall]

F/R, you are full of it.
Of the last couple of intakes there are a RAF 1011 Captain, B 747.200 FO, 2 instructors from the Australian Roulettes, B767 Captain, B767 FO, 2 X A 320 Captains and 4 A 320 FO's and these are only the ones I have met....guess it doesn't quite compare with the Cessna/BN2 experience you brought to the company eh?
Just where do you get this rubbish from....the AOA propoganda machine spreading porkies again?
Try thinking for yourself before you get led by your exalted (sic) leader to the nearest DSS ofice.
