Color vision standards for cx

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone knows what the color vision standards are at cathay. I am red green color deficient but I have a current class 1 medical with CASA in Australia with no restrictions.

Would I still be fit for a class1 HKCAD medical???

no problem, my friend. as long as you are willing to work for 1/3 of what current cathay pilots make, then you're good to go.

welcome to the team. the dream team.

@whackthemole

what did u mean by that? 1/3 of what others make. Is there another option? Not that I want it, I am just curious

A simple question, will be this a good choice for someone with just 300TT for beggining his career? I didn't apply yet b/c I want to know this 1st. I already rad here that took aroun 3 to 5 years to get a FO upgrade.

Also, how much earn a SO with them and is this a good experience for have in my resume in the future?


Thanks!

Well I just did my medical and ICAO English test yesterday at CX City.
Needless to say it's been a long journey, and I'm glad I'm over the "hump" and starting to see myself actually having the chance to be on course at FTA.

White coat syndrome? You never know. It happens with quite a few people.

Just wondering what's the icao English retest like? I have passed all interviews and tests and only left with my flight grading. I read some posts before CX will let u redo it or attend some course? Anyone can give me more info about an Icao retest or any idea what will happen to me?

Any help will be greatly appreciate

Cheers

CX Staff Travel

Hey Everyone,

Just wondering, does anyone know the exact details of what a CX Second Officer gets when it comes to staff travel? And how does it all work? Like are they 90% discount vouchers, or….?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Zac

@Enae,
You mean only CPP, right? Or does it include AE too?

[EngineOut]

It's been posted several times in this thread already that the ab-initio is closed for non HKID holders.
And no, AE is not ab-initio.
