thanks crwjerk! sorry to bother but how are airbus patterns for S/O bad? cheers

just another question. how does the base system of CX work and where are all CX bases for pilots? from my understanding you can only get basing once you are a F/O. Are each of the bases limited to what aircraft you're on? surely an A330 F/O or Cptn couldn't be based in LHR? etc

thanks in advance

Stage 2

Anyone that has just completed stage 2 for the cadet program could anyone give me an idea about what type of maths questions do they ask and what technical questions are in the interview.

Thanks for your help

Quick question

Mailed up CX they said, they will review the applications in my region and inform.

Any info when do they do if they ever review applications from South East Asia= Bhutan, Nepal, etc?

Or usually the cadets are from South Asia=Singapore, HK etc and Aus, NZ, America, Europe.

Thanks


PS: Captain Desi, you cannot print all the 120 odd pages all at once..do it one by one.

@jackcarls0n , if I view the printer friendly version then I put it up to 40 posts per page.

There must be some way of printing the whole thread, come on there must be a tech genius out there who can help me ????

Printing

Captain Desi,

Im no tech genius but you could try setting your PPRuNe display options to display say, as many posts possible per page. Other option is to open each individual page and copy the posts into Word, then print the whole thing.

Not sure why you would want to print this whole thread though?

Hi all,
just a quick question. I understand from what people have said that a medical is conducted at stage 2 in HK, however I was wondering when it was that the actual HK Class 1 medical is conducted? Is this done at the same time or at a later stage?

Thanks!

Was wondering if anyone might know if Cathay would not consider anyone for the 30 week program who had less than 250 hrs as I recently have a cpl but am going to get my instrument rating and Atpls done in the next 6 months, would they only consider me once I have worked up 250hrs?

Hi ap 797

I think the following may be up to date info you are looking for !

If you are successful in stage 2 & 3 and again in flight grading at FTA Adelaide, you are then offered a position on the S/O Cadet course. En-route to Adelaide you attend a Pre-Course Briefing and Cadet Orientation Course in Hong Kong, it is then when you have a class 1 medical.

Hope this is helpful.

Hi everybody.

I cannot fill in the application or the cadet program. It seems that the link has been removed.

Is anybody experiencing the same problem?

Any help will be appreciated.


Thanks.

Waste of money.

Will make almost no difference to your chances.

How did you come to that conclusion? I failed because of the reasoning test first time round and was given the chance to reapply. After studying the test, got to flight grading after that.

So it DOES help to be well prepared in my opinion...
