If i ever get another shot at having an interview with CX... im just going to refuse reading this thread and ask just questions instead.... seems like people who just get through are those who refuse to read this massive thread with all the information needed. 
190 pages of free information and yet people refuse to put the effort in....

study guide??
Hell everyone,
I'm wondering where do normally people who been called by the CX have their study materials?? do they normally just study on general term or they have a certain book that can help them to narrow down on the topics? I'm talking on the first stage of interview on AE program.
If anyone do know any source I hope you can share the knowledge with me!!
or maybe we can discuss here!
thanks!

Don't take this the wrong way but you should concentrate on English for your initial studying. You will need to be pretty fluent and although your English is far better than any other language I can speak I think it will let you down in an interview.

#1 They collect applications until they have enough people to interview in one area. I doubt there's a regular time in a regular place, especially overseas.
#2 I emailed them towards the end of last year and was told that recruitment was ongoing and so no closing date.

Guys, just a quick question for CPL drivers -
In the application where it states, "Do you hold a multi-engine instrument rating?", do we have to answer 'continuous' or 'valid till..', taking our instrument currencies into account?

The answer to your question is very simple.... read the last 190 pages of this thread and all will be revealed..... or you can just hope someone will be kind enough to help someone who is acting in a very lazy way....

schweizer2 is correct.
All the guys who knows that this thread exists should be aware that the answers are all within. It is not that the info cannot be PM to you, but after you have gone through the pages, you will be able to make out a trend as well as know quite a bit about the culture, pros and cons and after that, what you DO NOT understand, I am sure many guys will be able to help you.
Basic info - What do you already know about the company. Have you read through the CX website and absorbed all the media releases as well as company fact sheets. Have you googled aviation news updates on CX and its acquisitions and business model, challenges as well as future developments.
Reading and reference material - Books like 'Beyond Lion's Rock, Syd's Pirates, The 49'ers Story provide historical background. Can be ordered on Kindle or hardcopies from amazon.
Technical info - Wikipedia, Aircraft info, HK geography/weather trends and demographics.
Reading and interview prep material - How to ace the pilot interviews. Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators, Fly the wing, How to Fly the Big Jets, Aviation Weather. All these are similarly avail at most pilot stores or Kindle versions and hardcopies.
All the other tests will be based on your experience and education. It ALL well described in the past 100 pages at least. Info from 2010 is more than sufficient.
After you have done all that and STILL have queries, PM me
I will be glad to assist.
Cheers
