This decision is final

We regret to inform you that we are unable to process your application further. This decision is final


Anyone received this msg. from CX's website, after inputing your I.D card no. in cadet pilot application page.

Come on, I just failed twice... how come it would be like this Does it a matter of COOLING period or ?? Last interview was done on Nov,06

Anyone has the same experince ?

Question

Sorry mate I cant help you with your question but I was just wondering how long was it between your two attempts.

Unfortunately, the consensus regarding CXCPP application is that you will only have 2 attempts and a 12 month black-out period between applications. From the tone of that error message and your own statement, it seems you no longer have any chance with CXCPP. You can try applying to Singapore Airline and Dragon Air.

Dragon Air CPP

Singapore Airline CPP

i'll talk about my own experience then about some rumors i heard, i failed the interview twice so far, last interview was july 06, i checked the CX website, and up till last month it still said i needed to wait longer before applying. i checked the CX website again just then and it actually lets me apply now, so i don't think the 2 interviews only exists (i'm not sure what will happen if i complete the application form, i don't intend to complete it for now because i don't have time to attend another interview till late november)

the 2 interviews only was mentioned by a few individuals, they claimed that the HR told them at the interview, but HR never told me, and i never asked about it, they even appeared to not know it was my 2nd time at the interviews although i did mention it during the interview... more importantly i heard rumors that theres a blacklist where the HR deems your personality or you as never suitable to be a pilot with them for whatever reasons........i stress i don't know if this is true, and i've discussed with others and were unable to indentify what possible personailty could cause a blacklisting

maybe u could call up the HR department and ask nicely about your situation, if u do call could u please pm me on what the HR tells u? gl with it ^^

i've not yet heard anyone get booted from the CPP selection process and have a reason given to them. so i'll be surprised to hear if you call HR up and they give you any reason as to why your application isn't allowed to proceed any further or why you failed your interviews

the people that went to the interview with me called CX HR to ask for reasons for failure and they actually replied, one guy called up, other guy sent a formal letter and got a call back.....so i think they're more willing to interact with the candidates now

i would suggest first calling up because they don't keep a reference of phone calls i believe, if you don't get the answers u need then write them a formal letter, not a letter to complain, just gently question why the decision is final

yea i've been through the interview twice myself....last was during April 06, my interviewer didn't mention anything bout applying twice since they knew it was my 2nd attempts anyway, but the 12 months waiting is pretty true...infact i would say it is~~ hmm
would really lik to fly with them, but at themoment im still J.O.B.less~~gonna pull myself out of aviation for 3 years for a university degree...see if that could bring me anywhere...
cheers to all!!

Instead of sitting with your chin in your palm, grieving over missing out with the "all great Cathay" you could get on to searching for a real job with a real "career" employer. Yeah OK money not so good but (as long as you're not Asian) money is not the be all and end all. Get over it. Have you ever heard of the saying "they're the ones missing out"? There're are only 600 or so airlines in the world screaming out for pilots. Why commit to one that really is only devoted to dragging your conditions of service through the mud. Move on boy, you'll still go far.

hostile23, this thread is about cadet pilot, not DE, most of us here have little to no flying background, cadet programs are by far the easiest way for us to get into commercial airlines, and for those posting here would mean KA or CX

i just called CX HR to ask about any limits on application, the HR said there is no set limit and depends on the individual, she would not tell me what might cause a ban on ur ID.........if anyone else has time to call and confirm what i asked i'd appreciate it as the lady at HR spoke broken english so i fear there might be some sort of miscommunication

hmmm thats odd, i repeated the question around 5 times to make sure she understood clearly what i said, and she definately replied there is no limit and is based on individuals... if someone could call or email to ask again it'll be appreciated ^^

I guess it really depends on the "individuals" as I was reading Lowspirited post again just then....I am pretty sure they didn't tell me during my 2nd attempt that it was my final hope~~so yea keep the heads up guys!!
