Rckb,

hahaha I like those two planes too!

I don't like C-GEYW as I had a bad experience flying solo.

Any plane with the flap indicators (10, 20, 30, 40) I like lol.

you need to have a HK ID card to apply for the cadet scheme. So if you don't have one of those cards... you can't apply.

a HK ID card is basically proof that you have the right of abode in HK.

hey jefferymui,

I've talked to CX and they said if you take MTR to Tung chung station, u can transfer to S64 bus to CX city.
Good luck and see u guys tmr.
As far as the presentation, it's pretty much the stuff u can see on their webpage, and remember it's max 5 mins, so it doesn't have to be 5 mins exact.

hey folks, there are various videos online from previous Cadets during training....

i have never seen one of them with prescription glasses.

But i've heard that it's not an absolute requirement? And I've heard you need 20/20 vision with or without prescription glasses.

Nevertheless, I've seen tons of cathay senior pilots with glasses.

What is the chance of getting into the program if I do wear them?

CX has various selection dates throughout the year. Just apply when you are ready. Good luck everyone!

For those that attended the April screening, how did you guy do??

Give us some feedback!

Cheers

i imagine i met you today while i was waiting for my 1b.

it's very relaxed and not really an interview.. they just want to know a bit more about your background - education, work, personality etc...
