To laoyeoung

Did you apply with location wanted to be in USA? and when did u apply?

[laoyeong]

i applied back in june/july i believe. Got call and email back mid july.
I don't quite remember but I don't think you can select which base you are applying for?
I think they just look at your address and determine that.

[laoyeong]

interview consists of?

Hi,

what does the interview in vancouver consists of?
my email said english, reasoning, knowledge test and interview.
So it doesn't include aptitude test right, medical exam, and a presentation that i read in other threads right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the base for all cadet pilots will be Hong Kong for the first few years. You can only get a base once upgraded to FO.

Upgrade time to JFO will be around 3 to 3.5 years, and add another 6 months minimum before upgrading to FO, at which point you can go on a base (provided slots are available and you hold enough seniority to get one during a bid period).

Hey. Does anyone know if we need to have our resumes (CV's) with us during the interview? Or is it only the mentioned materials in the email we have to have with us?

thank you

[Jumbo744]

yes you need to bring a copy of your resume

[A340x]

Thanks for the reply!
And for the logbooks mentioned, do we also have to bring our PTR's (Pilot Training record) from the flight school? If you have previous flight experience.

And lastly, for education qualifications, does this mean we have to bring the diploma or the transcript with all the grades?

Thanks!

Hi!

I don't think you should bring your PTR, just bring your logbook with copies, and make sure your school stamp it. And yes, you need to bring your diplomas and transcripts...

I just finished my interview today, took me 4 hours and it was definitely not easy....

who's going for a drink?

cheers, PM me if anyone is interested

[wskwong]

Was it taken place at the YVR airport? Did they setup some sort of aptitude/computer tests like they did in hK?

You were interviewed by someone from HK perhaps? or someone local working for Cathay?
