On a scale of 1-10, how ridiculous would you rank the hypocrits that work for us telling you not to join?

You've just arrived in LHR, with Meursault in your ear for the last 15 hours. Why are you doing this, why are you doing that, why, why, why, why? How long after you arrive at the hotel before you call in sick for the return flight?

Because dear old chum, some people don't have the rights to live or work anywhere other than HK. They can't pack up and move to EU, AU, US, etc.. Whatever CX offers them is as good its going to get for some. They're just saying "buyer beware".. A- Scale isn't coming back so consider your options before you commit to anything.

How ignorant of you not to see that the very same arguments for staying are valid for joining just as well. Passport or lack of experience as main factors, obviously.

Additionally you are clearly not just saying "buyers beware" to applicants, you are mocking them.

I don't think i could wait until I got to the hotel. I think i'd be sending an ACARS at top of descent or maybe a WhatsApp before leaving the bunk...

Hi sorry didn't see message.

Yes I had my initial interview on the 14th Feb, result came out the same day around 2030 UTC+8, then 2 days of final assessment in a month.

In the mean time, they will send you a couple of emails for other thins like documents and psychometric assessment.

For final assessment:

Day 1
SIM
preliminary document check
HKCAD medical check

Day 2
Panel interview
HKCAD conversion document check
ICAO English assessment

You will have to pass the SIM check in order to move on to the followings, we had 60% wash out rate, I would say SIM assessment is the key for this stage.

Regarding the psychometric assess:
- which platform have you used to prepare?
- to be performed before the final assessment in hong kong?

​​Mine was about 2 days. She had me fill out a form which breaks down my hours into P1, P1US, P2, Night and Instruments. After I sent the form, she said she'll get back to me if I'm short

Where you offered to bring partners along? To have a look around Hong Kong together? See if it's a right fit?

For panel, each of us got different question, really based on our experience, mine was 90% scenario based questions, mostly related to typhoon or wind shear.

Not sure what platform, and it was before the final assessment, all psychological questions for working behaviors.
