Yep, he's still around and by all accounts doing a great job. Pretty busy at the moment with so many new recruits coming in in the next couple of years.

Question

A Question ?

Tony is ment to be busy with all these knew recruits and from everything else that I hear with the boom of employment in CX would back that up.

But!!!!

I have heard that out of the last round of interviews (approx 40 applicants) thay only took 3 poeple and u cant seriuosly tell me that the other 37 just weren't good enough

so what is the truth are thay hirering a heap of poeple or not.

Around 250 pilots each year for the next two years.

4 out of the last 36 applicants interviewed in Hong Kong were offered positions.

Read in to that whatever you like, they are the facts.

I think Clair was last seen on top of an apartment roof doing things with a guy known to have a "BIG ORGAN".
Dave is such a lovely guy.

Tony Penny's name was mentioned on the letter that I got with the Cathay application form and the PRN.I am supposed to contact him for "further inquiries regarding my application".I called him and he said that he could'nt tell me when I would be interviewed even by checking with my PRN.So much for the help.He asked me to wait for a telephone call in the future.Is there any other way to find out the outcome of one's application?

Minima, be patient. The way the hiring is going you won't be waiting long for initial interview.

Only 4 out of 36 applicants were accepted for S/O?! Is that statistics for direct application for a Second Officer or their cadet pilot program?

Quick question for you CX guys, do you recommend a trip to Hong Kong to "express interests" in working for cathay?

Does Tony Penny frown on this kind of "uninvited" visit?

Thanks

Wouldn't say it's a "recommended" thing to do, but hey, if you really have $1000 to blow on a HKG-LAX-HKG ticket, go for it!

A few years ago, two blokes came out from the USA (uninvited) for the same reason...about a year later, one was hired, the other not. Did it increase either's chances? Probably not.
