Hey Toey,
Sorry for the late response.
I got the call for my first interview the next day after AT. But some of my friends waited a couple days more.
I hope you have done your interview by now and able to progress.
Unfortunately, they rejected me after my first interview.
I am going to try to find out what I did wrong.
Just an FYI... it seems KA asked most of you the same questions, about yourself, failing CPP etc.
However, I was asked "Tell me something about Dragonair" as well. Luckily, I had that prepared. They asked me quite a few corporate questions.. perhaps it has something to do with my working experience and background?
Guys/Gals that are still hanging in there.. GOOD LUCK!!
I will have to wait for 12 months before I can re-apply....

Hi guys
I finished my AT on 5/5 and I got an email from KA today, they saying due to the number of applicants, they want to transfer my application for either MPL or DA15.
But since KA's MPL program is the first for them, would you suggest I take it or not? usually it'd take a while for them to run things and amend it.
From what I understand, the MPL does seem like an accelerated program and it looks like it's more suited for the the "real-world" as opposed to the normal CPP.
But my concern is what will this MPL give me? i've read the MPL is convertible to a PPL/CPL/ATPL. but i've also read elsewhere that all you get from this program is the MPL, and it goes on to say i cannot fly alone, meaning if my flying partner is incapacitated, i'm illegal to fly?
Career path wise, does it offer a slightly different career path?
is anyone else given the same choice?

MrCrawford, if that's the case, permanent residence that means you must have 3 stars on the HK ID card before I can apply.
I have none on my card, that now means I have no chance getting in.

Tech - if you have little flying experience, if you know how an engine works, parts of the plane, a bit about hong kong weather (humidity, winds, temperature, climate) you should be good to go. The more experience you have, the more they expect. If you have your ppl, expect some questions on airlaw, cruising altitudes etc.
Group exercise - be supportive of one another, build on each other ideas, ensure to keep open communication if you decide to split the work up and do not argue, but discuss. There is no limit to how many they accept from each interview group, so do not think it's dog eat dog.
Group lunch - ask questions not found on the website, that makes you look very unprepared. Find out how it's like living in hong kong as a captain, SO, etc.
Personality test - just making sure you aren't seeing ghosts or aliens. Don't over think it ahahah.
Search this thread, you'll find examples for group exercise.
Good luck and have FUN at the interview date. If you aren't having fun with your peers, you won't have fun while training ;D
Cheers,
MrJ

aile_striker: i chose DA15 since i'm still not sure about the career path with MPL. it may be better, or may be worse. just to be more secured for choosing DA15...
mfew3: at out stage, we did at least the Initial Test and we received the email which transfers our application to later programme and needs us to choose MPL or DA15
