1) Are you a former KA pilot who gets laid off because of company restructure?
2) Is the flight operation back to where it was at pre pandemic level?
4) How many pilots have they recalled back, Including KA pilots and CX SOs?
3) How long does it take to train a zero hour guy to 250 hr?
4) Why are they relaunching cadet training program now? Are they training them for now or for the future?
5) Why should they look at you when there are heaps of SOs sitting at home counting beans? Or working at a second job if not counting beans
6) Are you aware of the market trend?
No offense but if you can’t figure out WHY before asking that question then I think you have proved to the experienced pilots that they are right. The standard couldn’t be more worse than ever.

I know few people only got ICAO 4 but still get into the program.

no-reply Email address?
Was invited in an email by Cathay 2 weeks ago to take the ICAO. The email also contained instructions to "reply to this email within one week" if you are currently living overseas, which I am. Seems simple enough, right?
However, the email address from which they sent the email displays "careers_no_reply@cathaypacific.com". Was a bit skeptical about whether or not Cathay would be able to receive my reply, so I sent a copy of my reply to "[email protected]" as well.
Radio silence thus far. I know the ICAO is just the very first step of the recruitment process and thus I'm a small fish, but you'd think that a company as big as Cathay would at least send an acknowledgement receipt, provided that they were able to receive my reply with the "careers_no_reply" email address in the first place lol.
Do you think Cathay has received my reply? Has anyone else replied to "careers_no_reply" and gotten a response? Is it normal to wait so long?
Just worried that Cathay may think I am no longer interested in continuing my application, when I very much am.

I'm current flight instructor and have applied for SO a few months ago (I reapplied after 8 weeks which is dead line) and still received yet anything.
Has anyone here heard back from CX for DESO?

They used to include a contact person and a phone number in the invitation, regardless of which stage you are at, and this person would normally be the point of contact. Seems those folks no longer with the company anymore. Maybe they are short of staffs?
Just so you know my cousin wrote them two months ago to enquire about the program, and he is still waiting for a reply. Says it all.
