HOPE WILL KEEP US ALIVE !

Good job fellas who have already done the round 1B and got interviews for Stage 2.

As its Friday today and I have not heard from CX yet my universe around me at 6pm is slowly starting to fall from around me. I have heard nothing, not a Yes or a No. Hoping desperately that they are trying to get the abroad based guys through the process first before the local locals! Well done to all with the Stage 2 Interview ! Please do post what you were asked and what you said - would be very interesting to know.

I'm wondering if calling CX is worthwhile since they did say we would know by today.

Keep up the dream !


Aer-D ( Sustaining himself currently on pure hope!)

Rays Of Hope !

There is still chance !

Just spoke to CX, as I was getting really worried with all you guys getting interview dates and everything for Jan.

Apparently, for the LOCAL resident HKID holders, the interview time-frame is different. So hope still !

in very simplistic terms, longitude is an angular distance between two points on the earth's surface, one of which is the Prime Meridian and the other is your point of interest. it is expressed in degrees.

try getting a picture illustrating latitude, longitude and their relationship. it should be much easier to understand with an illustration at hand.

good luck!

flubba I couldn't agree with you more on the JKI booklet
some info do seem very vague, but if you read the second page it says 'It's up to you to dig out more information not covered in this book'.
IMO they may have done this on purpos to filter out those who have real passion for aviation~
anyhow that point has already been covered, exscuse my doubling.
good luck to those who will have their interview soon
