I dont believe there is a fixed number for each stage. Quality is more important than quantity.

Life long career? Thats funny.
Guys here now with conditions of service 10 X better than yours will be, want out. Company loves it, replacing us expensive expats with slave labour.
Don't reckon any of you will be in HK longer than 4-5 years as you'll soon realize that you're making the same money as Senior Cabin Crew.

I know everyone's got a dream, but let me tell you, this is a mirage. Once you get here, it fades quickly.

@AAIGUY

Your comment would make sense in the Cathay CPP. KA accepts permanent residents. You already live in Hong Kong or have some sort of connection with the city.

And congrats to the 30 flightgraders coming to Adelaide. See you soon.

Cheers,
MrJ

You've already been told you're through to flight grading for DA14?
Or you're already at FTA?
Or a flight grader?

Sorry, the "See you soon" part kind of threw me.

P.S. I just had the tech interview today, which is why I'm asking.

Cheers,
J.

Hahah, Vancouver seems to be producing quite a few cadets for Dragonair. As long as your answers were correct, 9/20 is better than 18 guesses.

Some people do finish it!

Cheers,
MrJ
