Brian, the fact that you are here asking this ridiculous question indicates just how much you really want this. So do your folks a favour and don't waste their money.

Hey guys, I've got an InitialA test coming up, and I'm abit confused, is this part of the 4 stages or is this before stage 1? And also, if I do pass this Initial AB, does it mean I will have to stay in Hong Kong for the other stages, and will there be lessons, like a school, we attend to or we just have to revise the stuff ourselves.
Thanks a lot

They refer to the interview stages for the cadet program. The whole process is:
Stage 1a
Stage 1b
Stage 2
Stage 3
Flight grading
I'm not sure if it is the same or not for AE or TT
Stage 1a
Stage 1b
Stage 2
Stage 3
Flight grading
I'm not sure if it is the same or not for AE or TT
Group exercise (definitely yes), Flight Planning assessment (definitely yes), Professional Profile (=CPP personality test in stage 1b?), Aptitude test, and interview

So if I wasnt a fit due to the results of the Personality test, they still wouldnt tell me the reason why I dont move on to Stage 2?
If my personality will never be a fit for CX, they'll still allow me to reapply every 12months, pay $2000 to fly to HK, spend a week there to do 1a+1b again, just to get declined to Stage 2 again?

Re Chapfo
Well, did you receive an email telling you to reapply after 12 months?
I also got rejected after stage 1b; I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with my personality. But the way I thought the interivew would be was totally wrong . I pictured the whole interview 2/3 technical side and 1/3 company background and turns out that I was wrong. So right after I walked out the interview I knew I studied the wrong thing and could've done a lot better.
As for the personality test, it's about your personality, but honestly I think personality can be changed throughout your course of life and correspondingly to your life experience. So I'm guessing that they'll give you a chance to improve?

RE: Aspira
throughout your course of life
It's like at least an extra few years of one's life to change that. And that's in addition to the time and financial commitment every single time one thinks they're ready for the Personality test.
Btw, when you talked to Stage2 people during your 1a, didnt they tell you 1b interview was mostly non-tech?
