study groups (tech + HR)
 

hi folks,
my own study groups have been real quiet recently and if any of you enthusiasts would like to practise interviews together (both tech & HR), please pm me.
there will be some friends of mine joining too!
hope to get in touch soon! :D

Hello

Anyone who is going to have stage 2 on the 9th June? Please PM me. Thanks.

on the application there is the question "Do you have passes in all ICAO ATPL written subjects?"

Is checking "yes" to this necessary for the Advanced Entry (AE) program?

As a commercial license holder (CPL), I don't know if many people would have this prior to being ready for the ATP licensing (1500 hours).

Does anyone have any information on this matter?

Grading on 23th
 

Please PM me if you are going to flight grading on 23th of May; so we can meet and prepare for it! Cheers:)

ATPLs are not required as long as you meet the other requirements of education stated.

Most guys wont have their ATPLs unless from EU. I know I was the only one out of my group.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply seymoreskye, and just to be clear, checking "no" to the ATPL written box doesn't disqualify us in any way, as long as we have something like a college degree?

Hi, I also have final interview on June 9 but i couldnt pm you due to new account.

Stage 2 June 9th
 

Hi!

I also have Stage 2 on the 9th! Let's meet up some time and compare notes. It might be good to have a familiar face for the group exercise and flight planning.

May I ask you to share your experience in CPP selection please
 

Hi ys1882

This is KinGsDown, I am going to apply the CX CPP in the following months,
I will be very pleased if u can share your experience in the CPP selection process to me.

I study though BAK PPL RPL, but I have recently given u up on tech stuffs and focused on the HR and company background.

How do you prepare your 1b and stage 2 ?
My friends told me to memories all the routes, destination name, fleets...etc and also going deep into JKI, Am I in the right direction ?

Kind regards
KinGsDowN

Bros, you are on the right track

Hello guys, I am new in PPRuNe.

I will have have Cathay Initial A next week. It is mix feeling of exciting and nervous now.

Have anyone been CX initial A recently could share some experiences?

Do they have a lot of physics question related electricity?

No physic
Just some basic calculation by hand

thanks pilotwannabehk

Could I ask little more about the test?

In the Coordination test, they are using "Basic" or "Extended" Coordination test?

And how many group of number in Flight Data Read Back? I can only remember 3 group of numbers so far :(

Just joy stick and rudder

3 groups are the maximum

thanks pilotwannabehk, that's great tip!

now I should turn my focus on technical questions :)

Hi guys, I would like to form a group for cadet application
If you would like to share and give some input
,please pm me your info as the example

To ensure the quality of the preparation,
there will be screening.

Instruction will be given, if you are not well prepared.

Passion and dedication are the key!
Thanks

Example:
Name: Ben
Age: 23
Past experience: 2014 stage 1b. 2015 stage 2
Plan to apply CX cadet: Within 3months
Aviation Background: HKYAA 2014
Phone/whatsapp: 1234 5678

The above post is awesome - please can someone help him and assist with any info or tests pilotwannabehk can't be bothered getting for themselves.

If you want a study group - scout out people for yourself. You've asked for assistance before, maybe it's time to take a deep breath and pm someone also asking for help. But seriously don't go on about how you want to screen your study buddies. Or do. But if you do please post your results because someone not employed by the airline and asking for help for the interview process who somehow knows enough about the interview process would be a thumping good read.

As always, good luck but stop sitting back and expecting people to rush to you. Take that big step forward and do your own legwork.

MTBUR,
I might use the wrong word.
I just want to make sure the availability to attend the meeting

PPRUNE is good place to meet others who share the same passion.
I am very thankful for the help.

I do share with anyone asking for help

How long did you guys who have had interviews recently (last 2-3months until now) have to wait after applying before CX replied to you? Were you CPP AE or TT?

Thanks for the info!

received invitation for 1a two weeks after application
had 1a one month after application

Was that for AE pilotwannabehk?

Cadet interview

ah okay. Thank you for the answers and best of luck to you! Waiting for a response to an AE application now :{

4 months from first screeing to contract offer. AE

seymoreskye, how long after you applied did they first contact you?

I applied back in 2012 before they closed it. Back then I had 0 hours.

Then I updated my application initially in late November 2014 and received an email in Jan.

It is all about location for AE and where the roadshows are happening. If you are waiting for a UK interview for example, you won't hear anything until they are ready to start recruitment days in the UK. Maybe 2/3 weeks before said date

seymoreskye,

How many hours did you have when they contacted you?

"It is all about location for AE and where the roadshows are happening. If you are waiting for a UK interview for example, you won't hear anything until they are ready to start recruitment days in the UK. Maybe 2/3 weeks before said date"

In regards to this, I checked the box on the application that said I preferred my interview to be in HK (rather than home country), does the road show still matter in this case?

All I can say is keep current, keep updating your profile and keep it recent. Hours are not a factor as long as you qualify for their minimums. They are dealing with an incredible amount of applications at the moment and I have no doubt this number is only going to increase as road shows begin.

Someone stated it is mostly AUS being recruited due to favoritism, this is not true. Reason being is that for the last few months they have been actively recruiting in Australia on roadshows. This means that at the moment AUS candidates coming through is a high number. This will change as CX reach USA/UK/EU ect.

In regards to having HK interview locations on your profile that is good. However, I am not sure if HR look at your current residency and go by that?
example:

If it was me, I would look at your two options being HK and let's say USA(miami), Then I would notice you are currently LIVING in Miami. I would therefore keep your CV on file until recruitment hits MIA. It would be easier for both parties to organize the interview I feel.

This is merely my opinion and with everything else, I am probably wrong!! :ok::ok:

Hope this helps you out?

Keep the faith, keep flying and you will get the call if they find you suitable.

Hello everyone.. I would like to know whether having an orthodontic surgery (relocating the position of jaws with titanium plates fixing them afterwards for the rest of my life) would be a disadvantage of my application?

Greatly appreciate any responses! Thanks!

As long as it doesn't prevent you from passing a Cat 1 medical, no it won't.
