Sept 7/8th

Quote:
I am going for stage 2/3 at Sep 7th and 8th.
That's funny. I am going for Stage 2 and 3 on these days as well, so why haven't I received my itinerary yet? Anyway, nice to meet you and see you on the day. I'm going to send you a PM with some contact details, check it out.
Hey All, I also just recently got an invitation to go to Hong Kong for September the 7th and 8th. I've already completed the stage 2 and 3 interviews already and was told over the phone that I will be doing the Simulator assessments.

Is anyone here in the same situation? What I'm worried about is that in the invitation email that they sent me afterwards, it had said "please report to the flight training build 6/F for the stage 2 interviews"... ? Anyway hope someone can clarify this for me, thanks.

Thumbs up Long wait

Hi guys, I sent my application october last year. I sent Cathay Cadet Programme a mail asking them when my application would be processed.

Because, just like other guys here - it is still saying on the career page that my application is being processed - after all these months. But we can imagine that they get ALOT of applications from all over the world.

The response from Cathay was that it will be processed along with other eligible applicants from that geographic region when they are ready to process them. So I`m still hanging in there!

Cathay said they will inform me of my application status when it is ready as well.

Interview location

Hello guys!!

Does anyone of you know if the interview stage 1 has ever been held in India?? I have heard countries in Europe, North America, South Africa, but never India...
I'm asking that because my first location interview is India...
Could someone help me?? Must I change the location?

Thank you very much!

just wondering how everybody has found the replies from the team who are dealing with the applications?

i ask because initially they were fairly ok with getting back to you with replies(a week or so)-be it the standard geographical chat or otherwise but recently they have not been even acknowledging them. I know they have a lot to go through and i appreciate that before any replies saying that. My app has been with them 13 months now and it bothers me a bit that they haven't said no yet or invited me to an initial (i put London first on there and there have been plenty of interview dates down there without luck )

has anybody else had similar?

boquera: I had London as well - and after almost 10 months, nothing yet - though the application is still being processed.

With over 15000 applications for the international cadet program to date, I believe you can only expect a response when invited for an interview.

yeap, just have patience, they will get back to you eventually, if you don't get the rejection email, then take it as a sign that you're still on the boat

if there has been interviews in your area and you haven't been called yet, might be just that they haven't got to your application yet, or that this time round there were more suitable applicants, but they still see you as a potential candidate, so holding off contacting you until the next time (thats the way i see it anyway)

the wait is hard, but i'm sure its all worth it once they call you in!

Online Application Status

Some people posted comments about their online application status: "We are unable to accept an additional application as your current application is being processed."

I'm in between my Stage 1 and 2, and I don't think the status on online application has anything to do with your most up-to-date application status. I checked mine after taking the Stage 1 interview and after passing the Stage 1. The message on the status page indicates the same.

Also, back in late May, I asked the HR person at the interview about the number of total applications. The person said that the number of application received this year is about 19,000.

Can anybody tell where CX fly the 777-200? I'm struggling to find that one.
According to the planning schedules, the 777-200 is rotated in the network on the following destinations: MNL, SGN, TPE, CGK, CEB, SUB, SIN, KUL, BKK, NGO, ICN, PVG, and PEK. The 777-200 will not be deployed on routes to EUR and NAM as there are other factors at hand here such as Fuel Efficiency.
Keep in mind though that the aircraft are being used in line with demand and seasonal requirements for that specific destination. You will find numerous changes of acft type and series throughout a running year...

CX loves to mix and match

Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilot Programme Update?

Hi everyone,

Earlier I was called up by Cathay Pacific inviting me for an initial interview for their cadet programme later in September. I assume this will be their last intake as it is quite late in the year already.

Has anyone else got a similar call as of late?

Also, what can I expect from this initial phase of screening?

Thanks,
F16 FF
