tha cx cadet pilot program mentions its requirements that either the cadet should have done schooling in HK or should hold a diploma or degree(nationality no bar) .
MY question is that since i am doing a four year degree course so can I apply for the cadetship with my result marksheets of 7 semesters while I wait for my 8th semester result & its marksheet???
pls reply as soon as possible!!!!

Im not sure if its restricted to Hong Kong residents only.
Im Singaporean and was unsuccessful in my application for Singapore airlines.
Ive found out that there arent alot of airlines offering cadet programs so no harm trying for Cathay.
As for the educational standards, i was educated based on the similar system as what i believed the HK pple are in. So i dont think that would be an issue i hope.

Im not sure about that. During the application process there was a choice of interview countries you could choose from and I know that some interviews are being held in september in London.

Well hopefully we get the interview.. So if anyone gets a call, Please share!! lets try to keep this thread alive!!
For educational standards, since they are opened for global applications, why not jus apply and let them decide if its eligible. No point speculating eh? If you dont try, you wont know!! All the best ya??

Do you really meet all the requirements? 18 means 18! Not 17.5

Hi guys, this is my first post but I've actually been reading these forums for some time now.
Just wanna get a general opinion from you guys.
Been wanting to apply for the CX international cadetship but I'm not sure now's such a good time to do so.
Would they:
1. Prefer someone with ZERO hours (as in my only experience in any aircraft is of those on ground and when I'm going somewhere on holiday. not even an introductory flight.)?
2. Someone with at least a bit, maybe lets say 20hrs, of experience in the air?
Should I:
1. Go get some hours on a PPL course to clock some hours, then I apply later. Though I'm a little worried that this international hiring thing won't last since it seems no one is sure when the applications' closing date is. Then again, when the economy picks up (hopefully in a few years time), IF they're still hiring internationally, they should increase the cadetship intake right?
2. Just apply now. Though I'm not sure how I can prove that I'm passionate about flying if I don't even have an hour in the air. Hence I can't really differentiate myself from all the other wannabes out there (I'll probably be worse off) and therefore my chances will be as slim as I was 10 yrs ago.
Help?What say you?
If you're seeing this for the second time I hope I'm not pissing anybody off, and I apologise. Just wanna make sure this gets noticed.

triples: if what you are saying is true about them looking for mildly exoerienced folk then why do they say this on their website
"You need not have previous flying experience..................."
if what they are looking for is previous flying experience, surely thats just unfair. Maybe the guys who have got through just applied first.
I personally have been into aviation since i was very young. in the past few years I haven't been able to afford to pay for flying hours as it isn't the cheapest of activities is it really?
