Thumbs up Cx Application

Hey everyone, just filling out the CX Pilot Employment application off of the eb site. For anyone that has completed this document I do have a question or two.

First, on page 2, "Flight Experience" what are they refering to with regard to the statement in parenthesis (personal/individual record sheets not accepted). Does this refer to attaching hand drawn flight experience breakdowns? Just would like confirmation on this please.

Second, I am a bit concerned with my flight experience for the last 12 months. I am a instructor at FlightSafety and haven't logged any actual flight time but have stayed current and logged my sim time for the purpose of currency (yes I know that sim time does not count toward total time). How will the powers that be in the HR department at CX view this?

I am keeping the faith in hopes that I will be successful with a pilot career at CX.

Thank you in advance for your input

I am guessing "personal experience" sheets refers to the fact that you must have a log book and not hand drawn notes on each flight written on the back of the fuel receipt!

Thanks buddy, I figured as much. But how does CX view the use of e-log books?

Ah, no....... it means you fill in the flight experience part of the application only - don't send them your personal experience sheet from your CV.

Thanks CLutter, but my question regarding e-log books is when I am fortunate enough to have an interview. When they ask for my log book, is my e-log book sufficient (assuming it is printed off and professionally bounded) or do they prefer or only accept traditoinal type logs.

Cheers!

If the e-log book is aproved by your authority as a sole means of recording flight details I can't see it being a problem.

e Log

Someone who went through the interview process with me had an electronic log book.

It didn't cause any problems during the interview and the subsequent induction/training in the company.

It might depend on the interviewer, a friend of mine had an E-logbook, neatly printed and done and they made him fill a regular logbook for the 2nd interview. They told him that his logbook looked nice but that they were a little more traditional. Hope it helps...draw your own conclusions.
