A little slow on the uptake... But the website says it is only open to HK residnets, is that still the case?

Well the reason i posted this thread, is so people have a good idea of the people who applies to the cadet programme, however it is not intended to put people off.

I strongly believe your personality, enthusiam and passion is what really counts GrillSwireInSouthern

Thats what i hope anyways, an excuse for me to remain optimistic

All the best to the applicants!

"I strongly believe your personality, enthusiam and passion is what really counts"

but mostly it's about your skills and ability to learn in a set amount of time. That's what it counts the most. It doesn't matter what background you have had. You'll be put through the same process during flight training.

Hi guys, i might be asking the wrong question on the wrong thread, but my quick question is: When do they do interviews for oversea and locals through out the year? Since I'm both.

I'm a third year university student in Canada, and I really want to plan ahead and see what I can do after I graduate.

Thank you!!

Hello All,

Congrats to all those getting through to Stage 2. I would like to ask those who know, what time of year does CX cadet flight grading normally take place, and same question for the start of the training in Adelaide?

This is very important to me as I’m preparing to complete a diploma and getting married as well. I just like to plan ahead!!

Thanks
