As far as I know, there are 5 candidates completed the whole selection process up to social lunch, no confirmed flight grading candidates yet

Is anybody who took their IT on Nov 9th?

Folks, I've taken an IT on Nov 9th, just wonder if anybody's here who took his/her IT at the same day as I did and has received an invitation for the first interview.

Just wanna make sure if I had been eliminated from KA.

I heard that it is quite likely to be accepted (>80%)if one is invited for second round interview from the experience of DA14. Do u think so?

I've got my IT on the same day as yours, how's your progress?

Have you done your AT yet?

Heard the story and theoretically speaking yes, I can understand why, their previous selections are really rigorious(up to ICAO english), plus KA has to pay a significant amount of money on medical(considering candidates are not their staff, a few thousand is quite something), thats why candidates who reach 2nd interview in each batch can be counted only with 1 hand. But I have fuxked up badly in my 2nd interview, so I will be able to tell you if its true or not when I get my phone call which will be very soon.

No, buddy. I mean I still have not received any phone call from KA for a further invitation. That's why I was asking if anyone got invitation for the Aptitude test. Seems many people who got their IT done on the same date as I did had already got the invitation and also finished their Aptitude test. Man, I think I'd ruined up my IT. I think I did okay overall, but I don't feel confident with the Math part. Maybe that was the part which I missed most the credits. As you have remembered, there were totally 15 questions and I only finished 11 of its. And I am not sure if I got most of them correct.

However, I am now looking forward for the invitation of CX. And I needa have a better preparation for next year. =)

I hope you will receive a call from KA for the ICAO English test very soon, brother.

Start Date of DA15

My friend attended Dragonair Career Talk at HKUST weeks ago. The start date of DA15 will be in March 2012 according to the HR staff. You may then have the rough idea of the overall selection schedule.

Start Date of DA15

GodB,
Any idea of the FG schedule? It seems really tight.
Just 3 months left before March. Including Christmas and Chinese New Year. really not much time.

1st batch of flight graders will be setting off to ADL soon, however I cant comment on the actual date as I am not sure if I am authorised to do so.

I know 2nd batch of potential candidates are still at AT or FI, so I guess it will still be another month and a half for them to go to FG.

Not sure if there will be a 3rd batch but it will be very likely to take place 2 or 3 months later. And yes it will be very tight, right before the actual programme starts.
