i have no licenses, and have only 2 hours' flying experience.
those questions are mostly PPL level, but the swept-wing concept is primarily introduced in ATPL studies. anyway, the most important thing is that over 90% of the questions came from the book they gave.
for those who have no/little flying experience, just know the book they gave you, inside out. do a little extra research and you should be fine.
anyway, IMHO the hard part isn't (just) the panel interview......

I didn't find the interview too hard either, it was just my 2nd interview ever (First one was on the first interview for Cx)..
What I was most scared about was the personality test, I was really indecisive.. some of the questions had such a large grey area

Can someone please advise whether the 24th and 26th are public holidays in HK? Just wondering in terms of whether the CX recruitment centre will be active on these days...

sugizo20,
don't be deterred and frightened by failure. unfortunately the majority of applicants get turned down but that is all for the good of everyone concerned. if you cannot perform to a good standard under the pressure and stress of the selection process, how can they/you be sure you can perform well under cadet training? or in a stressful situation in the giant pressurized metal tubes you will be flying?
as you may know whether you succeed or not has no direct relationship with how much flying experience you have.
i can tell you that failure is not exactly a bad thing; i don't feel too bad about it myself. i must admit it is a bit disappointing but don't be afraid of that - because it is a precious experience in itself and gives a good indicator at your weaknesses, so you can become a better pilot in the future.
i would advise you to give it your best shot, and enjoy the process! good luck!

Any news?
I did my stage 2 on Dec 12, and did the medical exam and pilot language assessment on Dec 24. But still heard nothing from Cathay. Does Cathay give away email if u failed?

yes, cathay gives email to those who fail. FYI i heard that Stage 3 is around 14th january, so that leaves plenty of time before they call you. don't worry too much!
mind sharing your experience of the medical and language assessment? i haven't been given the chance to try that out

Where did u hear that the stage 3 is around jan 14th? That sucks for me cause Im leaving HK on Jan 7th. Anyway, still haven't found out if I got into stage 3 or not.
Medical exam includes exams for your eyes, ears, blood test, urine test, cheat X-ray, and a thorough body check by a doctor. Really just to see if you are physically fitted to become a pilot.
The pilot language assessment is about your speaking, listening, and understanding of English. It consists of different tasks which together last for about 30 mins. It will be something very similar to the questions in TOEFL: Listening to a conversation and answer the questions about the conversation you just heard. One thing about the recordings is that those recordings have accent from different counties. That's something u should pay attention on.
