CP70
 

Heard from sources that CP70 is starting from March. Any update if it's early, mid or late March?

Cheers.

Stage 2 on 29/Jan
 

hey guys,

Anyone going to have their stage 2 interview on 29/Jan, please PM me.
Lets do some revision together!

AE
 

I applied for AE 2 days ago. Any idea how long it takes for a reply?

Apparently there is a big back log for AE from a long time ago. So, not until all of those are called up...

Anyone else unable to update their application on the careers website over the last few days??

One of the pre-requisites is a basic understanding of written English.

So what ever you read on the career web page holds true.

On the flip side, a HK national applying to join Pinoy Airlines will elicit what response?

Cathay IV prep
 

Hey guys,
I know this thread is a little old however just got back from final interview round at Cathay and thought I might add my 2 cents.
The sim check was a bit stressful but I bucked up and went for a sim sesh before hand. Best decision and highly recommended if you haven't flown a larger aircraft before. Behavioural went well so fingers crossed. Hopefully should hear early in the new year...
Did anyone else do a sim session before hand? I live in Perth and this guy has just opened up a new business so didn't have to fly to Sydney to use the sim there. Highly recommend - think it was called 747 Flight sensation. Was a little out of the way but an total steal compared to the Qantas sim which I had considered going to but at 5 grand, was totally out of my budget considering an FO's salary on a regional airline.
Looking forward to hearing how everyone goes...give us a shout of you are in Perth and need a hand with study.
Cheers,
LF

Hi guys,

Anyone else having their stage 1 around Jan 12 & 14?

No it's 2 HR people

When to expect AE calls
 

Hi guys,
I had applied for AE programme two years back, had failed to notice that the profile gets deleted if i do not update. So i regenerated a new PRN and profile last week.

When can we expect to get calls for AE, I have 250+TT and Degree. Not a HKID holder. I hope this fulfills the min. requisites.

Please do let us know if any expats have started getting calls!:O

I have a couple of questions regarding the SO job:
1.Are all SO's recruited for the passenger division or is there an option to fly freight?
2.I have read that all recruited pilots go thru 90 hours of simulator training?Is there any truth to that?
3.Do we get a full type rating or is it one of those ratings for relief pilot?
4.previous applicants have said the HR asks if you were given an option to fly one of our fleet which one would it be?Do they take into consideration what we answer and maybe give that same a/c we want!

1. Depends. CX operates the 747 freight and passenger fleet together so SOs on the 747 fleet would fly both passenger and freighter flights.

2. Not entirely sure but once you get back from FTA Adelaide and are assigned to a fleet, you'll be spending around three months on the sim to receive line training and your a type rating.

3. SOs get what's called a P2X rating, which is initially a relief pilot rating. The P2X hours that your rack up as an SO count at half rate to the 1500 total hours needed to eventually obtain a HKCAD ATPL license.

4. They absolutely couldn't care less. They're just asking to see if you know enough about the company and the CX fleet. They might ask you more technical questions once you've answered to gauge your familiarity with planes.

Is there anyone non HK resident who got called for the AE interview??

Looking for grading batchmates on 31Jan! Please PM.

don't think they've contacted AE candidates yet...

Lfrancis would like more info please!

if u doing fg 10 jan - 18 jan,
Please contact me and leave your whatsapp and I will add you in the group.

We hv group of 6 already.

hello

is there anyone who is going to apply or already applied to the cadet program and want to share the information and experience related to it?

I will apply the program in January and i have some flying experience. Still i would like to know more detail about it.

If anyone interested, can you leave your whatsapp please? Thank you.

anyone is having 1A on 22nd Jan? or 1B? we will probably meet on that day, as I recall, 1A, 1B waiting area is just the same ;)

After going through 1b, how long is it until stage2? Not news of stage2, but until actual interview/exercise dates.
I've extended my visit to HK for Stage1, but would like to know if I should just stay in HK and wait or return to Canada first.

From my experience it was 4 months between 1b and stage 2

apply next year
 

i am going to apply next year as well. Would like to form a group for information exchange.

Hey guys,

Has any international chaps been contacted for the TT program the past few days?

Cheers

Yes I was invited to the tt final interview directly.

stage 2 at 12/1
 

hey if anyone got stage 2 invitation at 12/1. please PM me. we got 4 people now.

Got invited for 1b in mid Jan...If i have zero flying hour, anyone know if the interview will be conducted by HR only or HR + pilot?

Thanks!

it should be still a hr + a pilot, but the technical questions won't be going too deep, normally within what you can find on the company website and jki ;) but note down anything you cannot answer during the interview, they will probably ask you again during your final

Hello again chaps,

Just wondered wether the HKCAD form to fill in was only for international applicants? Also would anyone know how long does it take for processing by the CAD? I presume CX had to send it to the HKCAD for approval and then they would contact CX to say wether it's okay or not

Cheers!

Hi all,

Has anybody that was requested to send documents before December 22nd received an invite for final interview yet?

Regards,

Wings

Hey,

Nop, still nothing.

Yes... Took two months for me to hear

TT interview
 

Folks,

Is anyone invited to the TT final interview end of Jan?

I was invited directly to the final TT.

Does anyone have recent experience on the tech questions? interview days profile?etc. something useful

Appreciate

I was referring to the people who had been requested to return documents on or before the 22nd december. Trying to get a timeframe as to how long each step of the process takes.

Best of luck to those that go to the interview.

I'm in your same boat, I would expect they combined stage one and two. Personally preparing for the worst but hey I feel like I have learned or re hashed a good a mouth of my old CFI type learning from years ago.

so the guys call for interview are from hong kong?
i applied 2 years ago and still no answer.

What sort of hours do guys have that are getting called up for Advanced Entry have?

Not actively seeking employment from Cathay, at the moment, but i've had an application in for over a year. 1000TT and 350 of that is in multi engine aircraft... No call from them. I update the app periodically, as my my TT is always changing.

4000 total time for transition
