The Top
TO/GA, this info comes straight from "the top", the Friday telex. Blanket recruitment ban company wide CX and KA. I don't know but I would guess that means all courses that haven't started yet too.

DESO/FO Positions
I'm sure the company line will be released soon, however my contacts have told me:
"...the deal is that we are not recruiting any more DEFOs for 2009, and all the DESO positions for 2009 are full (ie. as CX allocates on a first-come first-served basis, the hold file currently covers the 2009 positions available). Hence, the first available spot would be in 2010, with initial interviewing for these 2010 positions occurring in mid-2009."
Just received the monthly 'Job Search Agent Results' email - Cadet Pilot, Second Officer, First Officer and Direct Command positions all advertised on Oct 9.

The information I have is that those with 'yes' letters and those with final interview dates are included in the 2009 DESO positions. However it will be interesting to see what the official line is.

CPP selection process still going on...
I think that the cadet pilot programme selection process is still going on; some people got calls from CX yesterday to invite them to their stage one interview [i.e. after having passed the initial tests] next week...

I heard from another forum that there is a guy who received the call for first interview of CX CPP yesterday. I am not sure if the process of this batch is still going on or suspended.
Anyway, for the ones who received the calls of CX CPP recently, when did you submit your application?
I submitted my application in May and then I sent email to CX to ask in August. Got the reply that he/she just asked me to wait. I have been waiting for another 2 months already.
No reject letter nor invitation phone call, do you know what's going on?

Have you done your intial tests? I applied in March, sat my initial tests on Sep 24 (there were tests before then, but I wasn't in HK). Got a call a week later to say I passed the test, and had my first interview on Oct 8th (still considered as 'stage 1').
That was two weeks ago, I'm waiting to hear back to see if I get through to stage 2 (HR told me they will get back to me within 1 month - fingers crossed).
If you applied in May and your application is successful, they should have invited you to initial tests by now (I think they say if you don't hear back in 8 weeks then it's generally a 'no')...

MissJuneLai,
This is not my first time application. I failed last January in Stage 2 interview. I submitted my application in early May but I still haven't had any news including initial test nor Stage 1 interview.
I sent an email to ask early August and got a reply to ask me waiting. Another 2 months.... Don't know what's wrong. If I fail, I should have received reject letter, am I correct?

My understanding is that if you failed and reapply, you go straight to the stage that you left off from (i.e. in your case, you should go straight back into Stage 2 without having to redo the tests of first interview). That is, providing they accept your application this time.
I am not sure about rejection letters...this is my first application. I would think that 2 months is a pretty long wait - perhaps you might want to contact HR again to check your progress?
Best of luck.
