Housing after x years in the company
HI everyone!
Just wanted to clarify something about the housing ( and yes I have read all the posts on this thread ). Do the international cadets get housing once they become FO or Captain within the company, ICadets are hired on local terms, but is it for the whole career?
Also, I was just reading in the "fragrant harbour forum" that only a certain percentage of cadets make it to FO when its time for upgrade. If true, can anyone tell me the percentage?

The wait has started for those with a little foresight. 60 offered a start and 1 single person accepted.
Anything to fly a big shiny jet..................I think not.
Well done to the 59 you are worth more, don't let these fools tell you otherwise.

well, those are for DESO
and they were given the chance 2yrs ago, which by now they will have been in a different situation
if CX holds another new wave DESO now with the same condition that was offered to those 60, i believe everyone will jump at it

More accurately CX promised them DESO positions in 2008 on full expat terms only to renege on that agreement in late 2010 after they had been in the hold file for two years. The Hong Kong Governments “Race Discrimination Ordinance” doesn’t prevent CX from paying full expat terms. CX just chooses to ignore it.

Don't worry too much stallone, big shiny jet, big shiny jet, do it for free, big shiny jet, big shiny jet, you are worthless, big shiny jet, big shiny jet..................................... I weep for the future, big shiny jet...
This was December (ie the current month) so I don't need to surmise what they would say as it has already been said loud and clear "shove it Mr CX I'm worth more".

Hey guys, just wondering got my offer for Stage 2 through, when they say "Aptitude test (Computer bases/ Time allowed: 75mins)" is this the non Wombat test? Because I believe the wombat test is 90mins? Also if I was doing the wombat test would they send through the instructions for it?

So here's my question:
I have a South African CPL+ME/IR and 1300 hours total time. I have been asked to attend an interview in Joburg next month for the Cadet Pilot Programme. I am busy studying for my ATPLS at the moment. If accepted, will I have to do the 61 week course in Adelaide or is there a different programme for cadets who already have experience (im thinking that i dont need to re-do all the ab initio flying again?) Im a bit confused to say they least!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

As far as I am aware they seem to state if you are doing the Wombat aptitude test or not, it seems some people do it some people don't. I wish that was the case with the numerical test! Anyone got any advice for the numericy test in stage 2?
Or perhaps any links with tests that are similar? Think I am going to need all the help I can get with this one!
Also was anyone here at Stage 1 assesments in London on October 5th?

Good day guys,
Anyone here from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?
I just received the invitation for the initial test interview in Kuala Lumpur and I was wondering if there's any fellow mate out there that would like to study together?

Just reading up on Cathay's routes, I have listed the A340 routes as Auckland, Brisbane, Moscow, Rome, Vancouver, Delhi and J'Burg.
Then looked on the Cathay website and they also list Zurich have they stopped this route? Or is it a codeshare route as I have looked on route maps and searched for flights etc but can't seem to find a flight to there? Also on the fleet website it lists that the A340 flies to San Francisco and Toronto? Is that correct? As I thought Toronto was just the 777-300er and San francisco just the 747?

The 340 doesnt fly to Toronto (B773ER) or San Fran (B744 and B773ER). It does Joburg seasonally and I think the 330 does the Moscow a fair bit. As well as flying to all regional points the 340 also does Perth in Winter occasionally due to freight requirements.
CX use to fly to Zurich but as u stated it must be a codeshare flight now.
You can also add London for the 340 however LON is a dogs brekky at the moment with all 3 types having a bit of a go (mainly 744).
Things change alot at the moment with aircraft types mainly due to loads and also finding crew must be a challenge with numerous upgrades and downgrades of aircraft type.
