Hi guys, I just received the initial ab invitation email. They want me to confirm my attendance in 1 day....I don't think I can make that decision in such short notice...
Do you guys think the recruitment team will be able to put me on to another interview date?

kclaw - I think you meant GFT because as far as I’m concerned there’s no TIF that could last 4 to 6 hours long. It’s either 45 minutes or 60 minutes, but, if you’re planning to do it 4 times then that would be different story. Either way. Have fun. Enjoy the ride in the scotching heat.

socsbrian - You posted it at the wrong place mate. This should be directed to the HR, not on a pilot forum. Give them a ring tomorrow if you can.

PolarFront - If you read the education requirements it says "Secondary school education with good passes in mathematics and science, OR a university degree (science subject preferred)

If you have a secondary school education with good passes in mathematics and science you will still meet the minimum requirements for applying.

Good day everyone,

Does anyone know if there's a maximum amount of attempts allowed to try for this cadet program i.e. failing to make it all way 1, 2, 3 times?

Hi everyone,
I have a question regardless to the stage 1A assessment. Is it possible for the assessment to be rescheduled to another date? I tried to contact the Cathay pacific flight crew recruitment group, but no reply. Pls help!

Thanks!

I had the same question, were you able to find out the answer to that question?

Hi mate! I was meant to have my 1B tomorrow but HR never got back to me with confirmation so its now on Feb 1st. The new email says something about a 'written and technical interview', was hoping you might have some insight into what a written interview is? haha. Thanks!!

but does it matter? you either know it or you dont, you either do everything you can to prepare and learn as much as you can or you dont.

no one knows what the interviewer is feeling to ask on the day.

If they've already asked everything at 1B, then there is no point to throw you off the bus at stage 2. That's why I am hoping you, or any of you who have been to 1b, can give me some insights. Thanks for getting back anyhow. Cheers
well according to my frds, 1B does not ask technical knowledge. Its just a friends like conversation with the HRs.

There is definitely a 'technical component' to the 1B interview, received clarification today!

Let the buyer beware

I don’t work for Cathay but I’ve been in the Airlines for over 10 years and I’ve never seen such a deal and I worked for Ryanair. It seems they own you if you sign this cadet contract. I consider myself lucky to have started in Ryanair when I saw this.

Under no circumstances would I secure the training loan using parents as a guarantor etc. that way you can leave the company and the debt behind if you’re not happy.

If you’re from a poor family in a poor country then it’s a step up and that’s probably what Cathay have in mind.

Good luck to everyone but be careful what you wish for.
