lol if these old folks behave like an adult or just a tiny bit as a professional, the whole cx fop would become a different story
props for you Slotsdown and Kenny
props for you Slotsdown and Kenny
Ok, so poor widdle slotsdown is telling the experienced guys to grow up, based on his wealth of life experience and G(r)obRanger has been polluting bandwidth with his brand new handle... You two have no idea the impact your current actions will have on YOUR OWN future. I mean it's not that hard. Go and sit in a quiet room without your phone for half an hour and take the situation to it's logical conclusion. The people you are bemoaning now for whining WILL be you in 25 years time. You are your own worst enemy, you just don't realise it yet.
The hypocrisy and irony from you two is staggering. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Christ Almighty help us all if this is typical of the standard coming through wanting a career in aviation. If it is, might go back to single pilot...

ixg888,
Sorry but to be honest, your post sounds insulting to anyone who will just give you the answer.
You have demonstrate absolutely nothing towards research of your own.
Im just going to spoon-feed you the answer this time, as I think someone else will anyways.
Q: do you qualify as SO for CX
A 1: www.cathaypacific.com scroll down, click on careers, flight deck jobs. and I believe theres a tab that reads "requirements", click on that, read the requirements and I think you should have your answer.
A 2: read this thread, 190+ pages on information (and crap)
If you have done enough research to do an A320 self sponsored type rating, please have at least the minimum amount of respect towards CX pilots (not me) that are helping in this forum by showing a bit of innitiative on your side!
sorry to be blunt, but it is shocking for someone to want to join an airline without even looking at their website.

CX
good day sir, here is the requirement that i have read on their website.
Advanced Entry – a 32-week programme for applicants who possess an ICAO CPL and have in excess of 250 hours flight time in specified categories.
with all due respect sir, I have done my fair research in my re-application for CX.
my question in my position is, I think, is valid as there was no mention of an added rating will help me in my RE-application this time as an advance entry pilot. When I applied for CX last year I only had 22 Hours and wasn't able to qualify. So all I did was train and improve before my 12-month duration for re-application arrive. It so happened that my training went faster than expected.
So I decided to go through a FOTraining for airbus 320 to be able to show CX what kind of preparation after my initial application.
Sir, I apologize for any insults that you think I had caused. But it was just an honest query.
Thank you and good day.

Advanced entry requirements:
Total hours = 250
Total PIC not including PIC u/s= 100
Total cross country = 35
Cross Country PIC = 30
Total Night Time = 10
Night PIC = 5
Night T/O and LDGs PIC = 10
Night Navigation training = 1
Night Dual = 3
Instrument flying = 10
This is from a form I received by CX when I applied....
P2 and P2X hours are counted at half rate.

I agree with the above post, dont think the a320 type rating will assist in any way, shape or form with CX well atleast for AE cadets,

au contraire, mon frère...
ixg888s' willingness to pay for a rating is fodder for the CX recruiting peons.
It's indicative of a well developed case of SNJ syndrome, eager to spend daddy's money to subsidise the inadequate illDoAnythingForAnAirlineJob pocket money.
He should be sure to tell the recruiters that he has his own jar of Vaseline, will pay for his uniform, and really, really, really doesn't want any salary, ever. A bit of begging and something to kneel on will probably help too. Don't forget the Rolex watches for the interviewers.

I am pretty sure I've done several mistakes and I'm do stressed about it!!
Thanks

expected length of reply time?
Hi All, I also applied for the CX ab-initio course, mid 2011. Haven't heard anything from them, but recently attempted to update my info and was denied due to my application being currently processed. Any idea if this means that it is being moved through, or would it have said this the whole time? any idea of how long they take to respond to applications, and wether or not there are contact details by which to check on the status of mine?
cheers.
cheers.

It’s quite obvious you haven’t done any research because if you had you would know that the International Cadet Scheme is no more for ab-initio foreign applicants. The Hong Kong Immigration Department has put a stop to it which quite frankly should have happened two years ago when the first ab-initio cadets were employed. As far as the Hong Kong Immigration Department is concerned you don’t bring any skill to Hong Kong that isn’t already available here.
As for the rest of your questions, they have been answered to death already. Use the search function.

Actually, the "Niki" in CX City is just a similar model DC3 repainted into the old 1940's livery with Niki's registration. The real Niki is long gone somewhere.
