Interesting, I just checked your post history and I can see that you made it to AT in KA… You are telling me you done all that without any studies before hand?

It wasn’t a successful try for the AT in KA because I scored badly in the 3in1 test. That’s what worries me. I have done some studies like the BAK and Ace the Technical Pilot Interview, but it isn’t enough as these are just thefundamentals, everyone knows that. After all, It’s always better to know and practicemore. 
By the way, here is an interesting blog in Chinese explaining some basics inaviation and Xplane 10. I found it quite helpful to understand general ideas.Hope it helps:

Guys the reason the wait times are getting shorter is because they are running out of applicants who have the minimum requirements to apply.
The only avenue of entry now is for Ab-Initio HKPID card holder. No AE or TT for a while now.
Get in while you can because they will have to open up to foreigners again in the near future. Once that happens it will go back to waiting months, not weeks.

As an aside, the APTITUDE is another area of concern; failures are off the clock and disciplinary issues at a high.
In short ; we need PILOTS, not MS FS experts.
Get out there guys, and GET A LICENSE, for pity's sake.

The issue was what Visa category they will be employed under.
i.e no skills no Visa, simple.

Hi guys,
As a non Hong Kong citizen cum PR is it still possible to apply for cadet pilot (ab initio)? Last I checked they only wants citizens or PR. How can I apply to be a cadet? Under the website currently there are no more vacancies for cadet. Help please! Thanks!

You would have to browse the web site through HK server, in another words, go to www.cathaypacific.com/hk, in order to get into the career sector. I tried with the Aussie server once and no vacancy was shown neither.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Got my 1a interview invitation
I just got my 1a interview invitation a few days ago.
HR called me while I was still sleeping in bed and I thought she was calling from "Pacific coffee" instead of "Cathay Pacific" LMAO
the interview is by the end of next month.
Gotta get prepared!!

Capt Pants,
Its funny you know, I have been waiting for flight grading for 18 months now. I have nearly 2000 hours total time and already posses a 320 rating (no jet time though).
Seems I'm exactly what your looking for!!!!
Doesn't mean you will get me though.
Hahahaha
