Stage 2 on 9 DEC
 

Anyone is going to have the final interview Stage 2 for CPP on 9 DEC? We have 3 people in the group right now, and we are looking for the last groupmate to show up! Please contact me if you have it on that day! Thanks!!

Hey b777, check your inbox ;)

Where should I start? Let's just say with an apology to all the senior pilots/posters that had been previously warning us all about the cadet scheme or path, or this "career oppurtunity".

I started chasing this dream a couple years back after learning about the cadet scheme, complete with my Top Gun Raybans on. Unfortunately, the Raybans have come off and I can see the light again.

Whatever I say from here on is my personal opinion and I wish it helps some hopeful out there of actually flying or getting a real flying job.

First of all, the whole cadet program is a farce aimed at only one thing to reduce cost and you are but a number to them. Passion for aviation? Haha...Laughable at best, when you have your first interview there won't be a single pilot in the room rather you will be interviewed by ex Flight attendants for a flying job. Why do you think the senior pilots are constantly complaining about the quality of the newly graduated cadets it is declining and this is one of the reasons.

Think of it this way, you will spend 14 months as a cadet, then 3-4 years as a Second Officer. That is 5 years of your life right there which you could progress or improve yourself in so many other ways. Let's not beat around the bush here most of you joining are only here for the money, which to be honest is pathetic at this moment but I guess one man's trash is another man's treasure.

To sum it all up, save up enough money for a year or two. Get a CPL first, I wish I had done this sooner and flown all over the world at my own expense in a leisurely manner. There are so many other ways you can go from there, should you still wish to pursue this "dream" or "passion". They want your passion in exchange for money in their bank accounts. It is a disgrace and shame really... How they offer this "oppurtunity" but in reality it is just a money scheme. Do some research and write down all the pros and cons on paper and make a better decision. All that glitters is not gold. I hope this post helps some hopeful out there make a better decision out there sooner than I did.

Previous correspondence from HR indicated a new remuneration package was being compiled for this new round of CPP recruitment. Does anyone know these figures?

An-initio stage 1a

Hey guys

I am preparing for the AB initio stage 1A interview

My revision includes the booklet given, also on other topics such as ETOPs, lift formula, Dutch roll .... Etc

May I ask for tips on areas that I should pay attention on ?

Cheers

English would be a good start.

Lol

I sincerely apologise for the 'casual English'

Apart from that .... Any more related suggestions pls?

Cathay Pacific is not for us
 

Hey Guys,

I tried for the cadet program too, it just took less than 10 minutes before I got a reply (NOT System Generated) but sadly, this is all just for the HKID holders. They need the Right of Abode in order to get application through... So unless you have a connection to Hk , its a dead end.. :ugh:

14 Jan Stage 2
 

anyone stage 2 on 14 Jan?

anyone have any idea about why cx requires their SO to sit in the jump seat for a few years before proliferate to the RHS, while KA does not require so? what is the benefits to the SO?

I know SO is required for long haul flights as a relief crew and one of the reasons is cost saving (SO is cheaper).

but is there any other reasons?

Does CX flight crew recruitment phone number work at all? I've been calling calling and calling everyday (during their business hours), but no one has ever picked up the phone... :ugh:

29th of jan stage 2
Please pm me to form groups!
thanks!

Stage 2 on 28/1.

Anyone know how will the group exercise be? Also I seldom heard that people mentioned the flight planning exercise... :/
