Hi fellow aviators,
I am a HK citizen holding FAA CPL, MEIR, and CFI, with approximately 300 total flight hours. My last flight was in 2021 as the past few years haven't allowed me to fly due to COVID. I'm currently in the process of applying for the CX Cadet Program. I've heard that applicants with flight experience are often tested on their technical aviation knowledge during the initial interview. Considering my 3 years break from active flying, I'm eager to refresh my knowledge and ensure I'm well-prepared before submitting my application.
Did the initial interview heavily focus on technical aviation knowledge? What resources or study materials other than PHAK would you recommend for studying the technical part of the interview?
Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

For those who don't want to be a Monitor Pilot/Cruise Relief Pilot/Babaysitter at Cathay, get your academic qualfication sorted out. You just need 6 GCSEs/HKDSEs, Grade A - C to get to the door. BA isn't going anywhere. BNO Visa isn't going anywhere. Stay put. Get yourself ready for the next intake.
Thanks for the info Hardrod! Did not know British Airways has a free cadet training program as well, I always thought you had to pay X amount of money upfront. They must have changed it somehow. Sadly I missed the deadline, and I havent got all 6Cs in my DSE, thankfully their cut off age is 55 so I still have time, plenty of time lol. Do let us know when the next intake happens again!
