You are right Redondo, that's what I was referring to.

Fabby88 Do you mean you are waiting for your Stage II interview? I had to wait for 3 months to get their reply.

Yes I had to wait three months, and by that time I pretty much lost all hope and after three months out of nowhere their email suddenly appeared telling me that I have passed the 1st interview. Patience is a virtue.

Time lag to flight grading?

Just a quick one to ask the time between stage 2 and flight grading? A week, a month? Anyone got a rough idea?

Depends on a few things:

1. Whether your medical has any required follow ups
2. When the next available batch is
3. Whether you are ab initio or advanced entry

Could be a week to over a month, just depends on the above said factors.



On another note, on the Cathay careers website, they have now changed the wording of the ab initio requirement to "HKID Card Required". It is no longer "HKID holders will be given preference". Guess that settles that then.

Depends

Orangeboy,

As much as I appreciate your answer I would like to hear from someone who has been through the process recently or is waiting to go to flight grading now.

If you have no medical problems that need following up or anything else that might slow things down, what have been the average wait times from stage 2 to flight grading?

I heard today it could be as long as 4 months. Is that possible?

Isn't orangeboy right on..Would it not depend on at least those things,plus a few more,and wouldn't what has happened in the past have no bearing on what happens in the future..

How can anyone give you an answer on how long it will be will so many variables..

So just relax and wait,if you are not able to wait you are trying to get into the wrong profession

cx

With the recent change of ab initio requirements on the cx website ie " Permanent HKID card required", does it mean those ab-initio non-hkid holders who were in the interview process prior to the HKID immigration ruling will now be thrown out of the waiting pool?

I just did the stage 1 interview and didn't make it.
Definitely don't take it easy on the compass test, I thought I did quite well and got the dreaded rejection letter the following day.

Anyone know what their policy of re-application is? They haven't replied to my email.

Hi Yugo sorry to hear that, usually they will consider their application again after 1 year if it is not stated otherwise in the rejection mail. Hope this helps

Hi Yugo, what exactly is the compass test? There was no such thing when I applied 4 years ago.

Hi Yugo986

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't make it, just keep trying - you'll get there eventually!

Don't mind me asking, but how was the personal/technical interview with CX?

Sorry to hear that Yugo, I send them an email after my rejection, and they promptly told me that they would consider a new application after 10 months. Good luck for the next time.

Oldest cadet

Hey all

Does anybody know what the upper age limit is for entry into the programme as a cadet? If not, what is the oldest cadet that you know of?

Cheers
