Cathay pacific 1st online interview DESO

Hi guys

Next week I will have my second officer 1st interview for 30 mnts approximately. Do you guys have any idea what should I expect during the interview ? And if you already done that please let me know. Thank you

Hi guys, question, Do you put your flight hours during your training in flying school as total hours? I have 1490 turbine hours. 150 hours single engine. My previous company didn’t let the pilot put those hours in flying school on our logbook. So i wrote those hours separately ( one for flying school, one company logbook). These log books separation quite a problem for me during uploading log book last page. Thank you

[RiskyBalloon]

It's really basic. Very generic questions such as your history in aviation, why Cathay Pacific, what do you know about the airline, preferred aircraft, what do you know about Hong Kong (look at areas to live etc). So do a bit of research on the airline and the city and you should be fine. It's very relaxed, nothing technical. My interviewer was very friendly and polite. Good Luck!

Yes, flight training (provided it was on an actual aircraft) counts towards your total time. Just make sure you have it in the correct column (dual/instruction) and you'll be fine.

Might save a few years compared to the SO path, as they're estimating 5-6 years as a SO before getting the FO position.

in the actualy condition i was met with SO who have upgraded to Fo only for 1 year services.
he is flying for jetstar asia before and collect about 1200 hours on A320 before joining as a CX SO.
and one of my friend is upgraded less than 2 years 1000 hours on A320 with TT about 1200 hours but he is managerial pilot as Flight safety officer (the company only allow flying from fri-sun) 3 days services a week.
He is mentioned upgrading is based on your previous background and your performance during services under Cx , its not applied for who hasn’t turbine time before

Interesting! So the HR lady I spoke with said upgrading is strictly based on seniority, but maybe that's not true in all cases. I already have my ATPL so to have all of these 250hr guys ahead of me didn't make sense. So I'll return with some jet time, as I only have multi-turbine time right now and go DEFO, instead of waiting the 5-6 years to upgrade.
