Cathay DEFO
Hi everyone, I have applied for DEFO, completed the DAC form, and had the first online interview. Afterward, I received an email with the medical form and a request for my latest training records, also done. Could someone tell me what to expect in the interview in Hong Kong and in the simulator? Thanks a lot!!!!!

From the sounds of it unlikely any DEFO's will be taken on for a while. Company seems to be focusing on upgrading current SOs. Massive backlog of cadets in the pipeline waiting for their type rating means that the training system is already at / over capacity. Adjustments to SO upgrade training means it doesn't make as much sense to hire external DEFOs for the company.

What a bunch of strange people here.
I applied mid October and the first interview was a couple of weeks later.
Then they required a bunch of papers and got back a couple of weeks later.
I'm now invited for the simulator in Feb. Big company require lots of time with bureaucracy, normal procedure.

im simply looking for some gen.
I used to work for CX and already have the ATPL and type ratings. Was simply wondering if people are hearing back reasonably quickly or not.
