serious SJS kicking in
Hi everyone,
I have just been offered the 30 week course in adelaide. I applied early 2010 and been doing stage 1,2,3 and 4 the past few months but kept quite about it. Since i applied (i had only started my PPL navs), but now I have a CPL MECIR and 3 subjects short of a fATPL. At the start when I applied I was very keen on the cpp, but over time i grew agaisnt it as i saw the bigger picture; however now that i have been offered, its actually not as easy to say no. I originally went for the interviews for "interview experience" and to prove to myself i could get into CX. Well i made it but i'm stuck between what i've learnt over the past couple of years or what i was told by recruitment, plus i have a few mates who are SOs from the cpp and they are "living comfortably". I haven't accepted yet but thinking about it, i am only 21 and by 30 i could maybe have hope to fly back home in australia. Thoughts anyone?
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
I've become very interested in the CX cadet program although I am starting from the very beginning, i.e. no flying experience etc.
Before diving into research and studying I wanted find out more research about the requirements, such as the education requirements and what the chances of a beginner of my age would be to be taken seriously. I've read on the CX website and searched more online however it generally just lists it in terms of HK schooling.
If anyone has any more information they could provide me with I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks!

The way I look at it dude - you're 21, young, ambitious and can jump any hurdle at this age. If you're given the opportunity to explore the world in wide body aircraft at such a young age. DO IT. Yes, it will be tough, yes its gonna be a hard struggle with money. But you can do it. And at the end of the day its going to be worth it. From the looks of the previous threads, looks about 5-6 years upgrade to JFO? 25-27 is an awesome age, I'm 25, if I had that opportunity when I was 21, I would have been all over it. Now I'm looking for regionals. Think hard about it, if you're going in to it with open eyes, and an open outlook - I guarantee you will LOVE it.
Best of luck to you man! Keep us posted!

Sidhu..... And there's your flawed logic. In your eyes it's all about "seeing the world in a shiny (widebody) jet". What of future financial job security? What of a future wife & family? What of the capacity to buy & own a property? What of placing a potential 44 year career with a company that tears up legally binding contracts at will?
EM773 is one of the VERY few who has actually shown maturity to see both sides of the arguement. Empty & wishful thinking like you're offering is at best a romanticised view of being a "Jet Pilot Dude" and misleading if not so very way off the mark of the real nature of the iCadet job & the real nature of the company enslaving you for well over just the 6 year bonded period.
Oh, and from the latest AOA update, KA are offering double the CX iCadet housing for their cadets. 100% owned by CX. Discrimination?? And your "free" training is deemed as an asset hence taxable as well as CX enforcing repayment upon failure of the course if that unfortunately happens. Lovely this great "opportunity" isn't it!!??
Best have your opinions from the real world if you wish to offer credible & accurate advice.

change of hours
Can anyone else confirm that they have upped the minimum number of hours to 250 hrs for international applicants to the cadet scheme? I'm sure there are several people who have applied in the second half of 2011 with less than 250hrs and are still waiting to hear back for stage 1.
Surely they can't change the 0 hours to 250 hours overnight and make it apply to everyone who has applied previously? After all, you still get trialled for murder on the laws of 20 years ago if that's when it was committed!
I've tried giving HR a call but can't seem to contact anyone, so if anyone has some confirmation that would be great.

They have offered people jobs before after they passed all the stages, medical, sim etc only to be kept waiting for over a year before being told you can still join on less than half the package we were offering before.
They have hired guys on the old expat package on the condition they instruct in Australia on the cadet courses for 3 (I think) years maybe longer before joining as an SO with full housing etc. Contracts were signed and it was a done deal. A year or so afterward they were told sorry but we lied and you are now on the cadet contract when you come to HKG.
You really think CX will honor a lesser requirement to those who have applied but not even had an interview?
Sorry but if this rumor is true it will apply to you.

Forget using your forgiveable loan to purchase property, the HK mortgage corporation has just deemed the 'loan' as a liability so forget trying to get a home loan from a bank.
CX makes the rules up as they go along and will change them when and where they see fit. Occasionally the law in a foreign country catches them out but HK never will.
