It really depends what sort of lifestyle you like.
I grew up in HK and had the opportunity to live in different countries over the last few years and I know HK is where I want to live and have my career out of.
I suggest you put some research into life in HK... for example the price of renting property here etc. I am sure they will ask non HK candidates quite a bit about Hong Kong.

I suggested you read the whole 183 pages of this post to see whats the Cadet programme about or some basic aviation book such as BAK will be more helpful than that JKI booklet for you at this point.
Cheers

Hello everyone, I've browsed through several pages of this thread but couldn't find what I need...could anyone please tell me all the possible info about this programme, the selection process, living in HK being a CX employee, the benefits and pros and cons? Requirement as well if possible...
I'm currently a cabin crew, and I've been desiring for a long time to become a pilot, but not enough money. With this program all of a sudden it seems a possible dream to achieve, even if I read many complaints from more experienced pilots in this thread about this programme. If anyone got the patience to reply I'll be thankful, thanks a lot, happy new year to everyone!

Honestly I've read around 20 pages scattered all around...due to my slow internet facility in my accomodation this took me ages, so I found it easier just ask for a reply of somebody kindly willing to answer...if you do not want to waste your time you could have even refrained from post your nice question

I would suggest you go back to page 1 and read from the start just like we've all done.
There are some very interesting posts in this thread with lots of information you may want or need... however! there are some posts you may want to just ignore... use your better judgement to filter out the posts you think are irrelevant to cut down on your reading time if you are in a rush...
best of luck... (there are many posts answering your questions)
edit: you've just posted befor me.... I too have quite a slow computer but honestly I would try read as much as you can, once you start reading you'll want to continue..

No worries,
When you have done more research into the Cadet Programme you'll be able to ask more specific questions rather then just "what is the recruitment process" and im sure other candidates aswell as CX employees will be more then happy to help you.
People here do tend to like to help others, they just dont want to have to spoon feed everything...

No disrespect but I am insulted by your posts. I did not know about your situation and merely just asking a simple question and construct a conversation. I am always willing to help when asked.
Moving on... I suggest when you start reading, look out for the users "holdmetight" and "Em773ER". They're the users with the posts that stuck with me the most and made the most notes from.
Living conditions in HK? Ask away. I don't handle the bills but I have seen them. Pros and Cons? You might not like it but read the posts from people who discourage you from joining the Cadet Programme. You will need to hear both sides.

You kids talk about "passion" and use the word as an excuse, nothing more. There are only 183 pages here explaining everything you ask. And yet some new "passionate" hopeful will within the next 2-3 pages post the exact same questions asked & answered countless times before.
You kids are willing to put more time into a damn Harry Potter book with more than double the pages that this thread has. Such "passion" when it comes to your career and future. You have the same passion for flying as I do a beer during happy hour. It's there, it's available and most importantly it's cheap and easy.
There are only 183 pages to read. Some you'll like, some you won't but it is ALL information about the job, the city, the salary, the career progression, the cost of rent, pollution, inflation, schooling, raising a family, how to update your application, and, and, and, and.....!!!
This iCadetship represents the lowest standards Cathay has ever sunk to - and you're all desperate to be a part of it because you think it is an "opportunity". What does that tell you? When 99% the experienced pilots turn it down or don't even bother to apply you are what is left to line the pockets via profit share and bonuses for management. They are FACTS and I don't care to sugar coat it for you.
You are not there due to your flying skills, because you don't need any. You are not there for your aviation experience, knowledge or credentials because again, the minimum application requirements state you don't need them either. You are there because you are the cheapest option. Nothing more, nothing less. And you're gullible enough to see it as an "opportunity"!!
As I said on another thread, one day a fellow pilot or airline management will stab you in the back, seek to lower the standards further and undercut your salary, terms & conditions yet you'll have the audacity to feel insulted when this is the culture you seek to "passionately" contribute to.
