First Interview...

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to know if someone had a recent First Interview with
Cathay. I am trying to see if there are any new questions, or
anything different from ....capt XYZ

Thanx-a-million

Hey there
I did mine about a year ago and there was nothing unexpected. It was about 60% personality Q's and 40% tech Q's.
Some of the tech Q's were not from the XYZ book but more related to what I was doing at the time.
My recommendation is to know everything about your operations and the aircraft you fly.

When is your interview? Is it for Direct entry S/O? I'm trying to find out if they are starting interviews again for those positions.

Thanx Bogan,

What kind of flying were you doing before the interview?
They will be interviewing for DFO positions. They plan to add up to
13 more 747-400F...

I can't wait...

Salamundi,

I dont suppose any of those questions would be for general distrbution would they?? (in particular the first round questions)

Am looking for anything else that is in addition to XYZ, if you could help or advise me on would be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to PM me if you can help.
