@enthusiastic,

Thanks for answer!

To those who are getting Stage 1 interviews: Are they ab-initio, advanced entry or transitional SO?

Anyone who applied for the Advanced Entry hear anything back yet?

@enthusiastic, CP 52 is for August. I have also heard that they will be another CP class in October.
Btw guys, can a pending Icao retest be converted to a 12 month deferral such that one has to wait until 12 months and be subjected to a repeat of stage 2/3 again? Just experienced it. I had my Icao on February this year (For stage 3) and had been promised a retest in 6 months time only to be shocked to learn that I will instead have another stage 2 and then a retest. Mind you, I had passed stage 2 and proceeded to stage 3. I wonder why their change of heart and this miscommunication?

Does anyone know when they are going to interview from the UK region next? Anyone on here applied from the UK recently and been contacted?

Flight Grading

Hi All,

Does anyone know the flight grading process? There ain't many recent posts on this topic? All I know is it's Adelaide.

How long is the course? FTA run? Is just sim?

Thanks.

Icao

@enthusiastic,I have already done stage 2 and made it to stage 3 where I did medical and Icao, but was referred for a retest in 6 months time. I wonder why the news of a 12 months deferral and another stage 2 interview later?

does anyone know how to classify a 777300 from 777300ER just by looking at it?

[ocanadaperfect]

So i guess i'd have to look at the engine sticker to find out?

Stage 2 offer

Has anyone else recieved an offer for the Stage 2 interview in HK but yet not given dates? I got my email notification of a stage 2 interview about 6 weeks ago and still no date.

anyone else encountering this?

300er has a greater wingspan. Almost 4 meters on the whole lenght.

[smurf84]

Distinguishing feature : Raked wingtips (on the 773-ER)

[captain.weird]

The easiest thing that you can see regarding the difference between the 300 and 300ER are the engines with their logos.

The 300 is a Rolls Royce one, and the 300ER is one from GE with 115,000lbs. Just tick it in at google, you'll see the logos..

________________________________________________

Someone news regarding the recruitment policy? Is it still closed for ab initios (non-HKID)?

[Pitot Probe]

-300: Normal wingtips -ER: Raked wingtips
-300: Smaller RR engines -ER: Bigger GE engines
-300: Engine sticker is a black square with RR on it

-ER: Grey GE sticker


-300: Normal 777 Landing Gear -ER: Semi-Levered Main Gear (includes an extra hydraulic actuator on the main gear)

(These stickers are Cathay specific and will differ for other airlines)

The other obvious way is knowing the tailnumbers.
For Cathay: B777-200: B-HNA to B-HND & B-HNL
B777-300: B-HNE to B-HNK & B-HNM to B-HNQ
B777-3ER: B-KPA to B-KPZ & B-KQA to B-KQB

Hope that helps.
