hi hotellima,
thanks for the reply...
so are you implying that in fact a lot of the people who apply for CPP now actually tend to have flying experience of some sort or even have a PPL? i wonder what the % would be for people applying without any flying experience and still get in the program?

Hi topgun200204
katana-dv20 and Hotellima are right,
for sure education met the min requirement would help,
but a degree is not require.
Rather PPL is important, it's up to you, it will give you a chance to show CX that you are interest in aviation.
You may find that useful by learning some general aviation knowledge by someone quilify.
(Better then just read the book, at least you got someone explain it to you)
The knowledge you learn will be useful,
But the licence itself would not put you a better position over the other who doesn't have one.

I just got email from CX saying that the slots for 1st stage on Apr 7 and 8 have already been filled up~!
I guess I replied them too late....
anyone know when the next stage 1 date will be??

Hi Topgun, I didn't mean most of the candidates for CPP have some sort of flying frs or PPL as i'm not the insider of CX. But base on the people surrounding in my circle, I know 2 guys got in with some flying hrs. I really have no clue on how many % of candidates get in without flying experiences.
I believe no matter how many hrs or how many "A"s in your transcript, if you can't perform well or outstanding in the interview, the harder you can make it. Good luck.

Yep... in fact I just called them yesterday and spoke with Ada.... the Apr 7 and 8 1st stage dates are specifically for overseas applicants. She said the schedule for the next round of overseas interviews are not out yet... probably will be in May/June?
So I think they have different schedules for HK local vs. overseas applicants.
I presume if you are from HK.... the dates will be more frequent?
Anyone know more about this?

ypk, I spoke with Ada about that too, actually, schedule for overseas applicants will be more frequent b/c they don't want to make overseas applicant to stay too long or come back again. So they will schedule it faster.

thank you hotellima for your reply
i guess your post has already given me some good info...people tend to debate between getting flying experience and getting a degree...
i think the one good answer would be to get both...but this is not a perfect world as we all know
anyway...thank you very much

i think for locals, stage 1 - stage 3 could take up to couple months. at least that's why i've heard from Ada. That's why overseas applicants have "special" dates for these 3 interviews. Maybe you should update your info and see if you can get into the next batch of overseas.

Hi guys,
Anyone heard anything about the next Initial Test dates for overseas applicants?
I was told the next batch after Apr7/8 will be sometime in May, but still no word from them.
Anyone got any news?
