Cx238,
Are you AE, and do you have an interview? |
Hi Guys,
does anyone one here have/had an Initial Interview for Advanced Entry? Is the compass test done in the first interview or is it just a 'Reasoning Test' as stated by Cathay. Cheers |
Griffith University
Arch113,
I am actually from Griffith University in Brisbane doing the Aviation degree and I'm coming into my second year. During the Australian summer break, I flew back to Hong Kong (as a Permanent HKID holder) to apply for CX. I finished Stage 1B on 09 Jan and have been confirmed for Stage 2. I'm just waiting on a time slot now, which should be in March. The partnership seems non-existent (from a student's standpoint), but there is a Ex-Cathay Senior Training Captain there who does some pretty neat things and he has some great preparation resources for CX. But that's about it, I don't see any actual workings going on. I agree with Cpt. Underpants, there's no "top students would may be provided a visa and sent off as a cadet", nothing such exists now at-least. It may just be a selling point. The University has since changed their degree from a 4 year to a 3 year degree, I'm still in the 4 year one unfortunately. It consists of studying aviation subjects for 2 years before we take a "break" to complete our flight training at selected Australian flight training institutes, whereafter we would return to the University to complete our last year. However, they have a trend with crediting that last year to their students and graduating them if they are accepted into a cadetship program or have an equivalent of at-least 120 credit points (completed 12 degree-required subjects). That's what I am aiming for. I was both lucky enough to have a summer break to apply for Cathay, but I was unfortunate in the sense that I would graduate at the same time as someone who would be starting this year. For future reference, those who wish to undertake Griffith's Bachelor of Aviation Program, it would be difficult to allow time to apply to Cathay since the process does take a while (6 months is the general consensus?) and it requires you to be in Hong Kong unless you are fortunate enough to fly multiple times back and from Brisbane on short notice. The refurbished program implements holiday study semesters, which students would need to study for and complete exams within the holidays. There would generally not be adequate time to study and prepare in-between interviews if one should apply for CX whilst in this program. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or make a post. |
A330 or 777 at CX?
After you finish your cadet training, will you be selected on an aircraft randomly? Or do you have a choice, and does anyone know if Cathay allows pilots to transfer from A330 to 777?
|
Andrewlinz,
Thank you for your advice man! That definitely made me think twice about all this. Would love to get in touch for a bit more info! |
Flight grading 7-15 March
Hi all,
Anyone will go Parafield for flight grading during 7-15 March? Please PM me Cheers!:) |
SO demand in the future for CX?
Does anyone know if their will be an increase of demand for SO or a decrease in the upcoming years? Also, once you finish training, do you choose the aircraft you fly on or is CX that decides? And can freighter be an option as well? Thanks

Hey guys, I am a HK/US citizen, graduating from a university in the US on March and I would like to seek for some advises! I am quite determined to apply for the cadet program, however I have only done some ground school with no actual flight experience. (My parents already paid for my BS/MS degree and I don't want to burn any additional money from them to get myself a PPL.)
Since I am already here in the US, do you guys think that it is advisable to remain in the US, get a job and finance myself through a PPL, then apply for the CPP? I am already a little bit old (mid-24) so I am not sure if I should wait any further to apply. Does Cathay require candidates to stay in HK throughout the interviewing process? In the sense that, do I get like 2-3 weeks of advance notice before the interview such that I may arrange to take some days off from work and fly back to HK? I am not exactly sure if my plan will work. For those of you who are living aboard, what is your experience with Cathay's interviewing schedule? Thanks, and good luck to all wannabes! |
Hong Kong Permanent Resident Id Card
Hello Everyone im new to this community here and was wondering if you could answer a question that was rattling through my head :)
I was looking at applying for CX Second Officer Cadetship and noticed you need to have a permanent hong kong id card. does CX disregard applicants without it? How could i obtain one? Is it possible for me to obtain one? Male from Australia with Australian citizenship Thanks :) |
Cathay won't consider you for the cadet program unless you have a HK permanent ID. You need to live in Hong Kong for seven years before you can get a permanent ID, so your only options are to join either an AE or TT course.

Hey Andrew , I just PM you . Would you please kindly check your inbox ?
Thx a lot :ok: |

Hey guys,
anyone will have flight grading on 28 Feb - 8 Mar? PM me if you do~:) |
Hi Guys!
I have applied for CX AE about two months ago but still receive no response. Anyone experience the same thing as me? :)
|
Hi Guys,
Received an e-mail from Flight Crew Recruitment yesterday asking me to complete an attached Hong Kong CAD form 'Declaration of Flying Experience for Grant of a HK CPL. Has anyone else received this? If so, what was the next step. Thanks in advance, wishing everyone all the best. |
Hey there Rodrigues,
I also received the same letter as you couple of days ago. Also wondering if anyone else got this before interviews? and if it actually means anything? Good day. |
It means you fill it out and send it back. If you meet the min requirements of aeronautical experience you will probably get offered an interview.
|
I'm not overly confident as I'm a couple hours short on night and don't yet an have Instrument Rating (which I didn't think was a pre-requisite for the AE course). I previously sat Stage 1 a couple of years back.
Are all interviews done in HK, or will the initial still be in your home country? If HK, do they cover the cost of getting over there? All ambitious questions. One thing that I can't seem to find in here (Current info, anyway), is the outline of the new package, renumeration etc. I've just read the usual slandering of it, but no actual figures of salary etc. Does anyone have this? Thanks pilotchute for getting back to me/us. |
Flight Grading March 7-15
Anybody doing flight grading March 7-15?

Hi,
SO Pacjkage is Monthly in HKD 1st year : salary : 36225 HKD Hourly duty pay blocked to 84h : 3622HKD HK pilot allowance : 10000HKD TOTAL : 49847HKD/month Also get health insurance, flight benefits.... Anyone could tell me if its easy to commute from nearby cheaper country (vietnam, thailand...) to work as SO ?? |
Would I be correct to assume you get taxed 15% on the above figure of $49,847?
thanks |
invitED,
Are you sure this is correct? That rate seems a bit too high for a first year SO considering the negativity surrounding the remuneration package offered. Can anybody else shed any light? |
You only think its high until you find out the cost of rent etc.

Stage 2-3 cadet pilot interview
Hey guys,
I have passed my stage 1 cadet pilot interview recently. My date and detail of following assessments are not confirmed, and the e-mail stated it will be final assessments next. I am overseas candidate. My question is, when they say my next round is final assessments, does this means stage 2 and 3 are combined together? Or do I have to come back HK two more times. Thanks! |
Hey CX238,
Earlier posts suggest that CX would combine stage 2 and 3 together as a two days event for non-HK residents, such that you don't need to travel back and forth twice. p.s. Did you have your first stage interview in the UK or in HK? Good luck! |
Aerohk,
Thanks for your info. I applied uk as first perference, but 1st stage was at hk. I dont think they run interviews outside hk nowadays. |

working in Cathay
Is it good that i work in cathay as a management trainee to get some experience in aviation industry, then apply for the cadet pilot?
Will it help ?? |
Hi guys,
quick question to the guys who's attending the interview, first of all, all the best to everyone, secondly did you apply last year December or were you guys in the holding pool from year before and did you guys apply for AE or TT? Would really appreciate if anyone could help me. many thanks in advance :) |
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone is able to give advice on current books to read/prepare for the interview process. I've discovered the following (from research) are helpful. 'Ace the Technical Pilot Interview', 'Preparing for your Cathay Pacific Interview', 'Handling the big jets'. Does anyone know where you can get a copy of the 12th edition for "Preparing for your Cathay Pacific Interview". I've done the Google search and either sold out or not available. If someone has one and willing to sell it on I'd consider that. |
If you're already in the MT position, you'd better make up a convincing reason to show the HRs you are NOT going to change your mind again.
If you're still in the application phrase of MT, then good luck! its more difficult than CPP |
In regards to the Griffith relationship I think it should be pointed out there is still a selection process to be undertaken after this - same goes for any "partner program" for any airline. A common assumption when starting a university backed flight training program is because of all the airline tails on the pamphlet saying where the graduates are, and guest speakers from the airliners, is that students will immediately be accepted. I also know some you have chucked more than a few Wobblies at airlines for not taking them or thinking they are special for doing the degree.
Final point will be that if you start a 4 year degree expect the industry to change within those 4 years. If the time is wrong when you finish, remember a broken watch is correct twice a day and the person who finished 6 months prior to you may be employed whilst you didn't. Cathay is a good operator, work hard for it, don't develop expectations because you could afford a university degree, and please if you are going to have a cheeky whinge on here about how they haven't contacted you try and not have a username which includes your actual name (I see a lot of them on this thread!) - this thread pops up on any search about the cathay programs and HR of course look here! Good luck to all candidates, la! |
