I find it interesting how FlyHiigh has his/her interview in Paris early next month. Then the interviewers go to the USA skipping out London and Frankfurt

[Gators]

does anyone know an approx number of candidates who is going to be at an initial CX CPP Interview in each location?

Stage 4 peeps

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone's heard anything with regards to stage 4 flight grading for those who might attending the short course. Last update was for evaluation in jul/aug and then the start course in october. ? Anyone?

[auto--pilot]

Phase 4

Yeah I have had two phone calls from HK in the last week just to inform me to keep that in mind that the grading will be done in July or Aug with the course starting Oct/Nov. I think soon as they know more so will we, as they dont have any confirmed dates yet.

When I spoke with them she wasnt sure what I could expect at grading, sounds like it could be different?? Im going to expect a couple flights in the Grob/ CAP10/ and some BE200 sims as I know thats what they do now for people with experience. Maybe this will change....

[holdmetight]

The CAP10 is rarely used for CX flight grading exercises anymore, except in some unique circumstances.

Vancouver

Has anyone received an invitation to a Vancouver interview date yet?

I emailed them and they told me they are unable to confirm me the status of their interviews.

Thanks

[lman]

i have an interview with them on June 30th in hkg... anyone at that time too?

[holdmetight]

S/Os are required on all flights above 8 hours, and apparently in a few flights below 8 hours too, as mentioned in a previous post. Yes the information needs to be amended as the A340-600 has been "replaced" by the B777-300ER. There are Second Officers on all Airbus fleets, the B747-400 fleet and the B777 fleet.

I applied in October 2009 with Vancouver as my first preferred interview location... Sent them an email in the meantime but only got the standard response that my application was considered.... Sent them another email last week but still waiting on their response...

Thank you

Hello all,

I've been following this thread from the very start and I must say that all you guys are very helpful with your comments.

Special thanks to @swine @holdmetight @122.85 @happyguy99 @bizzle284

Goodluck guys and please keep this thread alive.

Happy landings!

G'day everyone,

I'm in the process of completing my application but have some questions I was hoping someone might be able to answer.
Earlier in the thread someone stated there are multiple intakes throughout the year for training in Adelaide, is this true? Approximately how many classes a year?
The Cathay site states that "Short-listed candidates will then be invited to attend a second interview in Hong Kong. We will provide travel and accommodation for the final interview." Does this mean that I have to pay the costs of transport etc for the second stage interview?
Is there a minimum term of service once you finish training?

Thanks!

Approximately how many classes a year?

4-5.

Does this mean that I have to pay the costs of transport etc for the second stage interview?

No. If you did Stage 1 outside HKG, you will be invited to the company headquarters in HKG, where you will do Stage 2 (and 3 if successful in Stage 2). Cathay will pay for your plane tickets and accomodation.

Is there a minimum term of service once you finish training?

No, you are not legally bound to stay in HKG for any period of time. But where you would go with the experience of a cadet graduate? That is the main obstacle preventing you from seeking employment elsewhere.

Hope this helps!

[oneflewnorth]

Thanks heaps holdmetight, really appreciate it.

But where you would go with the experience of a cadet graduate? That is the main obstacle preventing you from seeking employment elsewhere.

Very true. I wasn't concerned about a minimum service period, it was more about where I will be and for how long, just trying to look into my magic ball and figure things out.

Thanks again.

[flyhiigh]

holdmetigh, 4-5 classes you say,

how many cadets in each class?

Thanks!
