CX cadet pilot programme interview in november

[Tomho85]

Kestrel:

S/O will be on long haul, hope u know several intercontinental CX destinations....(Auckland, London, Vancouver...etc)
S/O will be on jumpseat, the seat behind captain and FO.
S/O are responsible for safety check on flight with captain and FO, also when the aircraft is in the air at cruising altitude, captains would leave the seat for his recess, by that time SO will go on the seat on the right handside and take control of the aircraft (accompanied by FO).

GOod luck..

btw anyone here submitted yours in Feb?

[flying_foos]

Just add the point what Tomho85 has said,

S/O are responsible for safety check on flight with captain and FO, also when the aircraft is in the air at cruising altitude, captains would leave the seat for his recess, by that time SO will go on the seat on the right handside and take control of the aircraft (accompanied by FO).

I have been asked at the stage 2 interview whether a second officer can take control of the aircraft or not during the cruise.

The answer is NO...and I confirmed with him at the last stage of the interview.

Second officer can seat into the right hand seat, but don't mean the SO can touch the control (unless it's in emergency or some situations like these - this I am not sure)...they just monitor the aircraft that's it

Just one more thing,

if the pilot ask you what the SO do in CX...

You better to use the word, "cruise relief pilot"
this sounds a little bit professional lol....

[Bassist]

Any body got anything to share form thier 1st interview?, mine is up on the 8th of Dec. and I've found out only after 2 weeks!!!

[kestrelcadet]

Hi Benedict

You've already cleared stage 2 final interview? how was it?

[flyer_spotter]

Hey, been reading this thread for a while.

Does anyone here plan to apply and have interviews this coming summer? I should be back in Hong Kong in mid-June, would be great to meet up somewhere to get ready together.

Flying Foos

Just to clarify and help with an earlier statement you can in some circumstances be the Pilot Flying. If you are with a Relief FO you will always be the Monitoring Pilot but you may end up flying with the Capt and in that case can be Pilot Flying. Even then its just turning the Heading bug as the AP will be engaged.
If at any stage an emergency occurs ie emergency descent the Capt will take control.

Cheers

Applying from Overseas

I've seen from other posts that some people do apply from overseas, and the selection process can take months. How does that work? This might sound rediculous, but do they pay for your air ticket and accomondation if you get selected for 1st/2nd/3rd interviews?

flubbachany,

rest assured the CX interviews and UNSW Aviation interviews are totally different things, in terms of types of questions asked, depth of questions asked, focus of questions, etc. i wouldn't recommend using your performance in the university interviews to gauge your potential performance in the CX interviews.

been there, done that.

there is a lot of excellent material on this particular thread, only if you are willing to click a few buttons and look at some older posts.

Yeepi...... got invited to the initial test (although I can't make it on Jan, hopefully they have one in Feb!!) - do any body have examples of what they give you currently...... some example I found was from many years back so may have changed by now.

Good luck to those doing it in Jan 09.

How does everyone prepare for the interviews.

any book/info/site/etc you would recommend?

[urban1937]

can anybody verify whether the recruitment process still going on? cos the post for cxccp is no longer listed on current opening jobs
thanks

[kestrelcadet]

Does anyone know if CX will delete the profile after re-applying after 1 year of being rejected And need to re-apply and fill in everything once again?

I tried to log-in CX website and it give the follow error message:
"Your profile does not exist. The password is case sensitive. Please ensure the information entered is correct."

[heli_master]

Is anyone going in for Stage 2 around 2x of Jan 2009??
Does anyone have info on how to prepare for the group discussion and computer tests?? ThX

[ahmokachi]

[Jambe]

Can anyone tell me what other benefits does a fresher from Cadet/SO/FO at CX get apart from their base salary? Like health, flight discounts, gym, transport, 'pocket money' when you fly out etc etc.

The monthly wage for a fresh out from a cadet programme is around about the $30000 mark at the moment, right?
