felixluihk: I can feel you sadness as I failed the ICAO test, i didn't even read anything about aviation for some time and now I'm trying even harder to pursuit this dream!

I have no hours, no licenses...blank sheet~~

How did you fail the FG by the way? Anything, like experience you can share?

I didn't get to grading, I got to the interviews just before that. Back then I didn't know much about aviation, I only had 2 hrs on the glider.
In the past 3yrs, I've been studying an aviation course for just over a year and with 10hrs on the Grob at AFTC (part of FTA). So I'll be pretty upset if I fail again
How about you guys? Anyone else free to share?

That's fascinating to hear you guys getting into the next stage of assessments. Add oil guys!
I am just waiting for the initial test. Have been submitted my application 3 weeks ago, but still no email.
Has anybody received emails for initial test held in April?

hi Eishin, no worries about the 3 weeks' of wait...I waited for 2 months to get the invitation to initial test
Good news is that the initial test stage is going to end by the end ofApril, so you will have at most 4 more weeks to wait! Good Luck~

i received the email today.

My initial test will be on the morning 8April. Therefore, my test will be finished before afternoon?

In the email, it said formal dressing is not necessary. However, we are supposed to wear suit?

Thanks.
i don't want to stand out in dressing in the initial interview. May I ask, did most of the candidates have formal dressing or casual wear?
When will the test finish? (for me, it starts at 0945)as I have an exam in the evening at the same day/.\

You gotta be kidding me disappointed??? after one year study and ...10 hours on a Grob???? .. I only had 7200hours of HEAVY jet time, college degree, atp.... 14 year flying airline experience...

I suppose you will also be upset if you are not offered the left seat on the 74..(that means Captain)... in your initial interview..

how sad... you people have to ask what to wear for an airline interview...

dress like you are applying for a job at McDonalds... pay is about the same and you will be eating there quite a bit on the pay you will be making.

I was told by a successful candidate that we better always wear suit to the interview!

Anyone else will have the initial test in April?

"""""""""""""""""how sad... you people have to ask what to wear for an airline interview...

Dragonair pays relatively well compared to any post undergraduate job you can find in Hong Kong. The only exception are investment bankers in North America.

For the initial test, dress comfortably. The HR will not be remembering your faces at that time. Sit near the middle/front to hear the annoucements and questions more clearly. Do your best.

Numerical testing: if you applied for i-banking, you would have no problem passing this portion of the recruitment process.

If you speak english on a weekly basis, that portion will not challenge you either. Do not over think.

Elgringo: Hey you piece of ****! Yeah! I am talking to you! Don't want to start an argue here but what you had said was really pissing me off! I don't care how many fxxking hours you got and how many experience you had, so what? I bet tens of thousands of people got such experience as well, if it makes you think you are superior than others, you are damn wrong and i felt sad for you! This is a place for people with passion sharing about their interview progress and there is no place for you! Piss off!
