I submitted my application yesterday. It said cx will give me a reply within 8 weeks.

I don't think I can make the Feb screening. If someone out here knows when's the next screening after Feb, please let me know.

By the way, how's stage 3 going for the current interviewees?

I hear on your second time you don't have to retake the initial testing, is that true? And with that said, what about the exams you take on stage 2 interview date?

i'm in for the Stage 1 screening on 20th Feb.

Any idea what type of math test in the aptitude test? Is it just the quick subtraction for Stage 1?

the only "math" you encounter in Stage 1 is the quick subtraction test.

Well yeah if you do it the 2nd time then you'll start almost from where you were rejected...

I was rejected in the final, then next year went direct to 2nd panel interview and a job knowledge test, that's it.

To my knowledge, all that's required is a Hong Kong Identification Card.

xXmuffin0manXx, Tahir-

You need to have Hong Kong residency to be able to apply for CX CPP.

If you're wondering why all those people are coming from different parts of the world for the cadet interviews, the reason are probably because they were born in HK or their parents were originally from HK, which gives them HK residency.

Whether if you qualify to become a HK resident is another question. The bottom line is, as long as you can obtain HK residency, you could apply for CX CPP after you obtain the right to reside.

Flight Planning Exercise?

The Cathay HR has called me for the stage 2 interview.
I know that we have to do a flight plan during the assessment.

Would anyone provide resources on how to do a flight plan??

I have searched for long but still can't get a website or book mentioning about it.

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure the flight plan you're referring to should be the same one I did there unless you're not actually going for a cadet interview. Don't freak out about it, it's mostly just a group exercise. You don't need to know how to make a flight plan, you'll be taught on the spot. Very straight forward, you'll do fine.


@Matt777, were you give the JK booklet ahead of time still? For example, if I'm flying from out of the country, would I have to be there a week a head of time to pick up the book, stay in a hotel/fly home for a week, then go back to write the exam and do the rest of the Stage 2 over again? Or would they send it to you through mail or email.

They email, then you email confirmation if you're going to show up for the initial interview.
Then after that each time you pass that stage, they call you to confirm a time and date for the next stage.
If you miss a call, you probably get emailed.
If you fail a stage, well, sorry, but you get emailed.

I applied mid December 07 and had to wait just over 6 weeks for a reply early February. They call at first, but I missed it and then they e-mail you asking to confirm the appointment date for the initial tests. Good luck!

Hi, Can any graduates from CPP explain more about the following:

Where do the Second Officers fly to once they start flying? I believe it should be short haul to gain more flying hours and practice? Or does it depend on whether they are posted on A330/A340 or B747/B777?

Where is the S/O seated? I was always wandering where do they sit when modern jets (B777, A330/A340 & B747-400) do away with Flight Engineers.

What are the Second Officers roles, do they rotate with the F/O during the flight?

Cheers

Kestrel
