CX to sponsor GA instructors
This has been announced on the internal CX website.
The flying college in Adelaide (Flight Training Adelaide), in common with many training schools, has been losing instructors as airlines strive to fill recruitment targets. In fact many of those instructors have come to Cathay! Cathay have been working closely with the college to address this issue, since if they cannot retain instructors, our cadet courses will suffer. CX has decided to partly sponsor some instructor training, and basic training if needed. The college will also contribute some training costs, but candidates will be required to commit to the programme. These instructors will become employees of CX, and will gain a position on the CX seniority list after a period of instructional duties with the college. They will then be seconded back to the college to complete a total of 42 months performing instructor duties in ADL. At the end of this period they will return to CX in Hong Kong as second officers on the same terms as direct entry S/O’s. There is a requirement to do at least one year as S/O and then, provided they have the required seniority, they will be eligible for JFO upgrade.
We are currently looking to recruit for this at two levels. Firstly those who have basic flying training already will be trained directly as instructors. Secondly those who have little or no flying experience will receive basic training at the college and subsequently instructor training. Candidates will need to pass the college entry requirements, and also successfully complete CX selection.
If you know anyone who may be interested, please get in touch with Cathay Flight Crew Recruitment ([email protected]) for further details, or apply directly to the college (http://www.flighttrainingadelaide.com/contacts/).

Good stuff
This is the sort of thing all the airlines should have been doing, and hopefully this will be the way of the future.
The huge confidence trick that flying training was should never have happened. There was a huge pool of new CPL holders scavenging for any flying work they could get at any price, and this has done enormous damage. No-one believes the hype any more.
If the airlines want newbies to commit lots of money and time, then they should make some sort of commitment themselves, and give some credibility to the process.
Teamwork is what it is about. It works.

QF have been talking about this for a while now, but as usual have done nothing to get the ball rolling, probably something to do with $$....
Good on CX for seeing the light and acting on it

I've got too many grey hairs for the airlines, but what's the pay if I want to stay in Adelaide and pursue a career as an instructor?
(Fancy pursuing a career as an instructor!!! What's the world coming to?)

Lodown....Give them a ring. I've known lots of guys and girls that have worked both as junior and senior instructors there over the last 15 or so years and all have said they enjoyed it...They keep you very busy but paid well.
