Gday KA Life, has anyone been hired for your 400s yet? When do they arrive? Good luck with your ban. Has it slowed or stopped the applications?

As for direct entry FO, are there any written tests? If there are written tests involved, then what’s the best studying material?

KA

No written tests, the only test is the sim test!Read HTB jets , Ace the technical interview, ATPL theory Met, know your aircraft well and the Dragonair type you are being interviewed on.

How will the cx ka merger affect the pilots in the future. Will they still be seperate idenities, and will KA continue to expand their international services?

How long is a piece of string... No one can tell. Cx will keep the 'brand' for I think 6 years. Guess the KA ops will be streamlined and more effecient. Some routes will go, most will stay and will be daily services.

Don't think there's too many bad things heading this way (incoming......)

Cheers

Which is rather more hours than some of the 744 IFALPA ban breakers have and is why CX have said that some of them are very likely to fail the course.

Just a reminder that the ban is still in place for all new joiners on the 747-400 including the Manchester base.

It seems the Company has been willing to discuss latest developments with the DPA so there may be a chance of a satisfactory conclusion. In such an event I will post information on the ban here.

In the meantime I would ask potential new joiners to respect the ban and their future colleagues.

Cool

more information about the roasting
Is that a question about the training system or down route activities
