Second Officer Age Maximum
I am 41 years of age with about 6000 hours, mostly multi and more than half turbine.
I visited Hong Kong a while back and had a chat with recruitment whilst there and was told that over the age of 37 my application " would never get pulled ".
Given that most people ( even those who haven't updated for ages ) are getting e-mails and phone calls for interviews, does anyone in the know-know if Cathay are sticking to their age maximums or might they consider softening that requirement in the time to come.
Thanks for any input.

Give Recruiting a call and ask (dont email....phone!)
Its the only way you'll get a bone fide answer.
We have definitely recruited SOs approaching 40yrs within the last 3yrs.
I dont believe there is a hard ceiling...so pick up the phone; your timing could be just right.

I'm 40; was recruited this year (age 39) and I start next month DESO 747 in HK. I pushed and pushed and made it (waited 3 years on CX books.) Your age is not that material, in my opinion.

Thanks old boys for the encouragement.
I guess I just took Cathay at their word and thought it was non-negotiable.
I'm encouraged to make regular approaches. Really appreciate your replies.

Airbus2Boeing ,
or more like airbus to nowhere
''It doesn't matter how old you are as long as you're white''
Someone obviously in need to get out a bit more and learn to stop playing the racist card in order to make up for their own shortfalls.
Grow up.
