Are there any others attending stage two later this month? PM me if you would like to meet up in HKG. If you're a kiwi, perhaps AKL before then.

@ 0lancer0

@ 0lancer0 , the flight crew recruitment department usually does not reply to such e-mails , they take a lot of time.

[Swine Facipic]

To all wannabes.

I thank you all for your responses , I have already had more than 20 requests for the JKI Booklet and other study material, happy to do more , Just send an e-mail

I did get my initial interview, I just won't specify the dates of both because of personal reasons , my apologies.

Swine (apt name don't you think?)

Would these "personal" reasons be the fact that you complained on PPrune crying and whinging regarding the CX recruitment team not getting back to you???? And then calling me a pussy, just because I told you to take your head out of your arse?

the department seem a bit hit and miss when it comes to a reply.I've emailed them a few times (especially after missing out on 3 lots of initials despite applying in July) and they did get back to me once or twice and even signed a name on one!

I wouldn't send loads but the occasional one will get answered-good luck

[Swine Facipic]

my apologies betpump5.

[0lancer0]

Hey thanks Swine and Boquera for your input.

I actually just received 2 emails back. They both go along the lines of my application is still on the applications to be processed and they will keep me informed on my application status once it has been confirmed. So I guess they havent thrown it out yet lol

Next Stage 1?

Hi all,

I sent my initial application at the end of November. Does anyone know when the next phase one interviews might be taking place?. I applied for London.

Regards,

Mike

MWR,

The next stage 1 for London will be held in early Feb 2010. I applied in late Nov as well and haven't heard anything either. So I am hoping to get into the round after, which I believe will be held in April (they come to London every 2 months as records show). I think the one held in Feb is for those who applied in Oct 09 or before. If someone has any more details, would be great to share it with us.

@raven777 or anyone else who knows

(they come to London every 2 months as records show)

Just wondering where you got this information from? Does that mean that the next Melbourne interviews will be in approx 2 months as they have just been interviewing here?

Cheers

KUL applicants

Anybody out there who applied to be interviewed in KUL got a response? I sent my application in June of 2009. No response to date, besided the "geographical area" one.. My second choice was HKG. Dont they consider people for the second choice location if there arent enough candidates for firch choice? anybody who might have an idea as to what might be going on with HR?

@Swine Facific: How far down the line have you gone with the interviews? having followed your threads, the last you did was stage 2, is it?

I do not know what HR are doing now or how they conduct their business, but I hear that they are handling well in excess of 10,000 applications. Couple that to the fact that there are only a few recruitment ladies processing everything that is related to cadets, and it's not hard to see why they are especially slow. Have patience!

Though having said that, I would suggest you e-mail them and request them to change your interview location. IMHO it is better to be proactive, rather than wait for them to get to you. I don't know if it will work or not, but it is an option.

Best of luck!!

Just be really, really patient. Things will take a long time for a start to get processed, but once you get your first interview, things speed up a lot. All I can say is don't hold out on Cathay. There are thousands of people applying, and therefore you need to have a backup plan. I would suggest start getting more flying experience. Apply for every opportunity, and even volunteer at your local flying club to do glider tows etc for free.

By any standard, the ladies are not especially slow. Regardless if there are 10 applicants or 10'000 applicants. They do their job and contact successul candidates first as the amount of organisation for Stage 2/3 and Flight Grading is huge. To the unsuccesful ones, unfortunately just like in ANY job where there are thousands of applicants, you are a low priority for being contacted.

Man I havent even applied yet. Seems like this is an ongoing process one cant really know when is the best time to apply.

[122.85]

I would agree with betbump I have found the HR team to be fantastic and very helpful. Considering the number of applicants they have had I am amazed how quickly they have processed these stages.

Good luck to all waiting to hear about applications.

[Ispahan]

Does anybody here received a formal "NO SORRY" response ? ? ? this could help to know how they deal with unsuccessful applications....I mean are we supposed to expect any answer in case our application didn't go through ?

(Applied in early october 09...) got a general reply on December 16:

Dear Mr. XXX,

Thank you for your interest in the Cadet Pilot Programme.

The initial interviews will be arranged in the major cities outside Hong Kong, subject to the sufficiency of eligible candidates in the same geographic areas.

At the moment, we are unable to speculate when the next schedule will take place in near future.

We will keep you informed of the application status after it is confirmed.

Thank you for your attention.

Best Regards
