Would I be correct to assume you get taxed 15% on the above figure of $49,847?

thanks

invitED,

Are you sure this is correct? That rate seems a bit too high for a first year SO considering the negativity surrounding the remuneration package offered. Can anybody else shed any light?

Stage 2-3 cadet pilot interview

Hey guys,

I have passed my stage 1 cadet pilot interview recently. My date and detail of following assessments are not confirmed, and the e-mail stated it will be final assessments next. I am overseas candidate.

My question is, when they say my next round is final assessments, does this means stage 2 and 3 are combined together? Or do I have to come back HK two more times.

Thanks!

Hey CX238,

Earlier posts suggest that CX would combine stage 2 and 3 together as a two days event for non-HK residents, such that you don't need to travel back and forth twice.

p.s. Did you have your first stage interview in the UK or in HK?

Good luck!

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone is able to give advice on current books to read/prepare for the interview process.

I've discovered the following (from research) are helpful. 'Ace the Technical Pilot Interview', 'Preparing for your Cathay Pacific Interview', 'Handling the big jets'.

Does anyone know where you can get a copy of the 12th edition for "Preparing for your Cathay Pacific Interview". I've done the Google search and either sold out or not available.

If someone has one and willing to sell it on I'd consider that.

If you're already in the MT position, you'd better make up a convincing reason to show the HRs you are NOT going to change your mind again.

If you're still in the application phrase of MT, then good luck! its more difficult than CPP

In regards to the Griffith relationship I think it should be pointed out there is still a selection process to be undertaken after this - same goes for any "partner program" for any airline. A common assumption when starting a university backed flight training program is because of all the airline tails on the pamphlet saying where the graduates are, and guest speakers from the airliners, is that students will immediately be accepted. I also know some you have chucked more than a few Wobblies at airlines for not taking them or thinking they are special for doing the degree.

Final point will be that if you start a 4 year degree expect the industry to change within those 4 years. If the time is wrong when you finish, remember a broken watch is correct twice a day and the person who finished 6 months prior to you may be employed whilst you didn't.

Cathay is a good operator, work hard for it, don't develop expectations because you could afford a university degree, and please if you are going to have a cheeky whinge on here about how they haven't contacted you try and not have a username which includes your actual name (I see a lot of them on this thread!) - this thread pops up on any search about the cathay programs and HR of course look here!

Good luck to all candidates, la!

Hey guys, I have my 1a interview tomorrow at Cathay City

Hey guys, I have my 1a interview tomorrow at Cathay City,

I've been reading the Aviation knowledge booklet over and over. I played with an app called skytest to brush me up for the compass test....


Is there anything else I need to do to be ready? I know it's a bit late to ask
