Second Officer Age Maximum
I am 41 years of age with about 6000 hours, mostly multi and more than half turbine.
I visited Hong Kong a while back and had a chat with recruitment whilst there and was told that over the age of 37 my application " would never get pulled ". Given that most people ( even those who haven't updated for ages ) are getting e-mails and phone calls for interviews, does anyone in the know-know if Cathay are sticking to their age maximums or might they consider softening that requirement in the time to come. Thanks for any input. GUARD:) |
Give Recruiting a call and ask (dont email....phone!)
Its the only way you'll get a bone fide answer. We have definitely recruited SOs approaching 40yrs within the last 3yrs. I dont believe there is a hard ceiling...so pick up the phone; your timing could be just right. |
Thanks for that Petitfromage. I was rather hoping the time might be right for that dreaded phone call.
404 Titan, where are you when I need you? GUARD:ok: |
I was 37 and a few months when i was called for my first interview.
Got hired as well, still waiting for a startdate though. Cheers |
S/O
Cathay have just hired an ex Emirates Captain who is 42.........things must be getting bad in the sandpit!
|
Why are you sure they are only looking at you for S/O? I got called for a DEFO interview (had to turn it down), and I'm 41...:eek:
|
DEFO interview set for 3 OCT and I'm 47.:}
|
I'm 40; was recruited this year (age 39) and I start next month DESO 747 in HK. I pushed and pushed and made it (waited 3 years on CX books.) Your age is not that material, in my opinion.

Thanks old boys for the encouragement.
I guess I just took Cathay at their word and thought it was non-negotiable. I'm encouraged to make regular approaches. Really appreciate your replies. GUARD:ok: |
It doesn't matter how old you are.
When you get here they make you feel like your about 10. |
It doesn't matter how old you are as long as you're white.

Airbus2Boeing ,
or more like airbus to nowhere ''It doesn't matter how old you are as long as you're white'' Someone obviously in need to get out a bit more and learn to stop playing the racist card in order to make up for their own shortfalls. Grow up. |
