Hey!

When are you going to HK ? Have you ever done online psychometric tests ?

Hey Zulu! Radio silence thus far.

Have you applied?

Could you share with the questions they did ask ? have the upcoming online interview with CX Have the same sooner .

1. They will for sure ask you if you have re-searched what kind of employer Cathay Pathetic Airways is.
2. They will ask you if you have used PPRuNe as a source of information gathering.
3. If your answer to point 2 was YES, you will for sure be hired. This will be ultimate sign they look for, that you are willing to join one of the most toxic airline companies in the world, despite all the factual information available indicating what a stand out company this is, and you´re still willing to join.

Don´t worry about anything else in the "hiring process". Nobody in that company seems to care anymore. It´s all about management pulling their bonus´ and leaving. It´s a sick airline and it has been like that since 2001 - it only got worse and worse, year after year. Nothing, nada, nichts, left to admire about it! But hey - good luck mate!

Hey Mr DG

When did you apply and how long did it take to get the online interview?

Hi Aviatopac, 3 days after my application. Rated on FO 747-4.

That’s a very fast reply!

mind if I ask when you applied?

I and another I know applied but still haven’t heard back.

You either must be desperate for a job or be from southeast Asia to join CX, be used to low wages and be treated like a dog.

I applied for DEFO and got the email for the online interview. Got a date and time confirmed , strangely nobody showed up for the interview, no emails or anything from them. I sent a message on their email but also no reply.
Has anyone have had this before? How to proceed?

thanks

hi there!
As I understand the order is application , next completion of DAC 607 form next is dates available for the online interview. But may order changes.

good luck!

I mean that should tell you everything you need to know about the type of company Cx is, and the style of management that is utilised across all departments. Food for thought!

Well i hold a HK License already!
i did the application and got the invitation for the online interview.

hey aiellosky, when did you apply?

just got the emai that i am shortlisted
and I sent them DCA607.
Do you guys know how long does it take to get an interview after this?
I applied about 2 weeks ago.

Very much a mixed bag. Some here back straight away and others take a couple of months.

You will hear back though, especially if they've asked you for a DCA607 and you meet their requirements.

Thanks. preapring interview with LPJ right now lol

13th and profit share not guaranteed, but this year we got both ( ps exact number not yet announced)

No lease required, housing assistance or however it is called these days is yours. 20k (17.5 after tax) will not cater for a suitable accomodation.

Everything the company pays you except per diem and pension contribution is taxable.Per diem depends on the destination, roughly 70-150 USD/day. Schooling expect a short fall of 500-1000 USD per child, inform yourself on debenture rules if applicable.

Hours depend on the fleet. Generally very high right now, some up to max 900. Bear in mind this can change anytime, and crucially the company can lift the threshold for productivity pay at their leisure.

Upgrade to CN depends highly on fleet and whatever number it is be aware this is a snapshot and not a reliable indicator for newjoiner. Airbus currently 6-7, Boeing 747 11. Right now the company is struggling to get back to the pre-covid fleet size, once this has been achieved (end 2025 ish), upgrade time will probably increase again, historically 11-12 yrs ish. SFO could be 2-3 right now, but not sure. In the past 4-5 on average.DFO and DEC are always a possibility.Be aware that assigned fleet is a lucky draw, and that includes later fleet changes and upgrade. It could be the 320, which to my knowledge offers zero productivity pay.

Again, the big risk is the variable factor in our "contract". Productivity pay threshold is completely at their discretion, expect them to ruthlessly adapt it to the current market environment. If at some point in the future they don't have manpower concerns anymore we are sitting ducks.

Nice . When will DEC coming ? Many are waiting. hahahaha

Unless you are desperate for a flying job, and hopefully single without kids...then come to CX for a few years. A career it definitely is not. A sadder more depressing airline is difficult to imagine. Tragic in the truest sense of the word.

The more you exaggerate the less believable you become, at least in my opinion.No offense.
