No DESO at this time. All CX SOs will be seconded to Express for their FO upgrades, to gain use full experience on narrow bodies, in response to recent tail strikes and hard landings on heavy jets, by inexperienced “pilots” who came through the traditional upgrade process.

Hi everyone, does anyone convert your CAAP CPL to HKCAD CPL? Are you request to do the ATPL written for all papers again if you have done the CAAP ATPL written? Which papers are required for HKCAD? Thanks!

"good" to hear that assessment for the DESO position took place. At least now I know that I haven't been shortlisted...
