[mcdaking]

Simly and FelixLo: I am in the same condition with u guys too. I had a chance to ask them about the email. They said that they will sign it out maybe a week prior to the interview.

Elgringo:
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...

tat0601:
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!

Calm down tat0601, Elgringo does have a valid point. The entry requirements for the cadet program (from what I've read here) take people ranging from no experience up to PPL level. On that scale of experience between applicants competing for a position; 10hrs might give an edge; but it also might not be enough to bring you over the line alone.

I remember with 10hrs at AFTC, I wasn't even ready for solo circuits, let alone a training area solo so at that stage of my training, my experience wouldn't have meant much, especially against applicants holding a PPL.

P.S. and I'd say that with Elgringo's experience, he IS better than me as a pilot. The fact that he has a license (I'm assuming, with all that heavy jet time) and I don't alone makes him a better pilot. Now I can't comment on his personality/morals/ethics/hygeine/etc etc and I may not like him, but due to his experience, he has my respect. Since this is a pilot focused forum, I'll leave it at that.

Drecian: Thanks for your opinion. My point is KA CPP is for perm HKID holders, and frankly HK ppl don't have much opportunity to have flying training. Btw KA states that no previous flying experience required, like if you got PPL, you may boost up your chance but there is not grantee that you get the job.

Experience is good, but what matter most is your personality and attitude.

What makes me angry is that his attitude, you won't apply if you don't think you got a chance. So, does he means that I shouldn't be disappoint that I didn't go through the next stage and feel thankful instead because of I didn't get my own license? Sound like he's on the top of the world just because he got all the license.

Nevertheless, this discussion is over and shall we go back to topics about KA recruitment?

For the initial test, as we are required to reply to the invitation email to confirm our attendance to the TEST, will they also reply us to confirm it?

[wongian]

Sunny_Liverpool: No they won't. It's fine and you just have to show up at the allocated time slot for the test. Good luck mate.

I didn't get a reply to my RSVP for the initial test.

i have attempted the oxford english placement test in my campus library yesterday, both listening and grammar. It is not as easy that I can assure to get >90% correct answers as it tests a wide range of grammar in 100 questions. For the listening part, it is comparatively easy.

However, the numeracy test is not difficult as well but requires enormous attention.

By the way, Any broad-mates will also have an initial test on 8April?

Preparation

Hello,

Is anyone doing the Intial Tests on April 19?

Any suggestions on preparation for the tests?
I had been doing the tests acquired from Barclay Capital and Quantas. Some suggested GMAT would help, which I had been practicing too.
Any help would be appreciated!

sunny_liverpool: do you know where I can find the Oxford English Placement Test online?

Thanks in advance!
