If you finished your GCSEs, then you have finished secondary education (high school) and therefore meet the educational requirements to apply.

I know they changed the 30 mins MS Team Technical Interview into a 1 hour long Panel Interview at Cathay city, has anyone done the latest Panel Interview and have some insight on it?

CP = legacy course (FTA full year)
CX = integrated with PolyU (half year in Poly, 8-10 months in Phoenix)
CPA = integrated at CX city (ground school at CX, then flying in FTA, mainly for CPL holders I think)

Regarding to the CPA course ,for both licensed or non - license holder , it's 8 months ground school in Cathay house (Never been in Cathay city) and at least 30 weeks flight training in AeroGuard Arizona US, No more FTA , at least not for now . Flight training for non-license holder may be longer .
FYI, Same as FTA , AeroGuard do provide accommodation but unlike FTA, AeroGuard DO NOT provide meals , cadets DO NOT live on campus and require to share room (2 cadet per room ), 2 to 3 room per unit

Anyone has gone through the Cadet Process. I have been invited to the initial interview. Is that the HR one?

Probably not PPL but CPL check rides .Just like in FTA, even CASA CPL or MECIR holder cadets need to have CPL check rides over there, however test is not based on CASA standard but HK CAD standard .

Hi Guys,
I applied for the CX cadet programme yesterday, do you you guys roughly know how long it takes from initial application submission to receiving the first email for the online amplitude tests.

Initial interview
I did mine few days ago, it was very chill, it's purely HR
I have only one lady with me, whole process with mostly personal questions and little touch about Cathay knowledge(fleet, destination).
They wanna know why you want to fly, why you choose Cathay, do you know what is SO job, will you be able to take few years of wait, how would you feel about the training program in FTA or integrated. How do you like to work in HK, how is your family feeling about it... Then she nicely introduced what is in the next panel interview and following steps, telling me to expect more since I have pilot license already.
I got news about the next interview the second day, it was a pleasant experience.

I'm sure the training captain wouldnt expect a lot from you, watch some youtube videos about how planes fly, some aircrafts you really like, whats the specs of the aircrafts, show them you are genuinely interested in flying and aviation rather than take it as any ther jobs...

And don't forget to show them you are absolutely OKAY to be a temporary Customer Service at the Airport, to work at the check in counter, greeting passengers, check in their bags, check their passports, greet and meet passengers at the arrival halls, and maybe, maybe someday to work as Flight Attendant serving peanuts and drinks, and pushing trolleys as well. To the current Head of Flying Training, title means nothing, everything is possible, after pilots are also human, can use them in many different ways. What a mess.
