CX DESO, >4000hrs but still NO JOY!
To all out there who can who has the answers to my Q.
I've applied to CX for the position of Direct Entry SO for more than 2.5yrs ago & I've been updating my profile/flying record regularly ever since. I'm currently holding an ICAO ATPL, clocking more than 4000hrs GT with more than 2500hrs on widebody jet (all airlines hours), good track record.
Comparing to the minimum requirement for the position mentioned, I do believe I make the cut, well at least for the interview BUT to my disappointment, I do not hear anything from CX until now except for their acknowledgement email everytime I update my records. I wonder how CX conducts their selection process?
*Am I OVER QUALIFIED for the job? ( i guess not)
*Does CX selects their candidates from certain countries only? (if so, they should have mentioned it in their webpage)
*Does skin color plays a factor here? (it seems very obvious to me that as long as you've got some bush hours, meet the min requirement & MOST IMPORTANTLY "WHITES" consider yourself in)
Can anyone shed some lights to my Q above? I believe if CX continue with the way they're doing things (if my assumptions are correct) they're gonna loose hell lots of a good pilot out there!
Any comments/feedbacks are welcome & I would like to end this with sincere apology if my post offended anyone out there.
Regards,
KING

You are not alone..
With the "whites only" remark..prepare to be ambushed by those who insists that cx pilots come from varied cultural and racial background. Actually it is not the skin color..you can be black, brown, yellow , fuschia, tangerine or whatever, but it's what country is in your passport/citizenship that matters.Reminds me of this Indian Pilot married to a cx fa, for years he's been trying to get into cx as s/o . During that time, he was flying as co-pilot on a corporate turboprop in a "Poor" southeast asian country. He kept updating his cv's and for 3 years all he got was the "thank you for your corresponce" postcard. Sometime 2004 he got a temporary work visa in the States, and flew cessna 152's as a CFI. He mailed a fresh application using his USA address and promptly got an S/O interview date in Hong Kong!
sneaky eh?
