Sure, After i sent my stuff in on line i got an app back in about 3 weeks. After i sent the app back, (I typed the whole thing except the two questions that where personal). It was about 5 weeks or so before they called me at around 21:00 local time in florida. They then sent a bunch of info via email 2 days later.

[micia]

CX Vancouver Interview
Just heard the good news that I'm going to Vancouver in March for D.E. SO 1st interview. Yeeeeee Haaaaaaaaa
Is there anybody else out there heading to Vancouver?

4900 TT
2500 SIC jet(E145)
499 PIC Turboprop (DHC6)
500 SIC (ATR72)

[Medwin]

FO and SO

Quick question, is the interview for SO different from FO?

[PJ_Slick]

I also have a 2nd officer interview in Vancouver the beginning of march. I applied a little over a year ago. I mailed a resume' and then followed up with a call to Ms/Mrs De La Harpe to see if it had been recieved. I got my application a couple of weeks later, I have updated it once and was about to update again when I got an email/phone call. Now for the hard part, flying a metroliner in northern Canada is a bit different than wide body long haul work. I've purchased the HTBJ, Cathay Interview Prep by X,Y,Z, and Flying the Wing.
I was also wondering if anybody knows of a good book/books to learn the differences of the basic systems of the 747/340/777, ei:fuel systems, brakes, control surfaces.?

My time is as follows,

4800TT
2250PIC (DHC-2 seaplane)
2300 Turbine (FO)
600Multi (FO)


PS: this site is fantastic and a wealth of info, thanks so much for your informative posts.

Cheers

10 March 2005 interview

I also have a Cathay Pacific interview in New York on 10 March 2005. I've heard that the "Handling the Big Jets" text is rather dry reading. Does anyone have recent interview gouge that they can share?

My qualifications at time of application:

Total Time: 10000
PIC Turbine: 1700
Type Ratings: BE-1900, B757/B767
Recent experience: CRJ
Age: 36

[Pickle14]

jfkbunkie, bombinha:

See you in JFK!!

Silberfuchs:

I am 34 now, I was 33 when I applied.

Also, as far as an email chain of sharing info, count me in!

I don't have a copy of HTBJ yet, so far I have been reading Fly the Wing and Transport Category Aircraft Systems, mainly what it has to say about the 747.

[Medwin]

Off topic; Who would you fly if your an SO? Is there a cruise Capt on board too or do you fly with the FO?

[Medwin]

Thanks Silberfuchs

[Cpt. Underpants]

Medwin

For me, it DOES matter.

Personally, I will NEVER put an S/O with the relief. I always fly with the S/O, and pair the F/O and relief up together.

[Pickle14]

Silberfuchs:

Thanks for the pointers. I didn't mean it to sound as though I was not going to read HTBJ, I just meant I have not yet, also it is kind of hard to come by here in the States. I ordered it today from a place in Canada, along with the Captains X, Y, & Z book and also Ace the Technical Pilot Interview.


Is it dryer than Fly the Wing? That is way dry.

Lots to study, glad the interview is not until March!
