Does anyone know when the next interview will be held in Australia?

I'm studying for Australian CASA CPL theories and intend to take all theory exams within this year.

Do you guys think studying CPL theories might help in preparation for knowledge test for CX cadet program?

hello lee, don't count me on this, but i heard that cx at present are not conducting interviews in foreign countries, except for hkg at present. like i said i also heard from someone but not sure, may be someone else can throw some light on this. i also waited long time and just got email today for interview, so hang in there my friend

I assume the next round of interview in Australia will start October-November.

Studying CPL’s will show a level of commitment to becoming a pilot which is exactly what they are looking for. As well as looking for someone who fits the profile of a cadet they want to make sure that applying for this programme isn't just a passing phase, which could lead to someone leaving the programme half way through because they were bored and had not thought out their career path properly.

As for preparing for the knowledge test (I assume you mean the JKI) it essentially should help, however in the interview (stage 1) you will be asked questions on all the theory you should have completed so far in your studies that you are qualified to. i.e if you have passed CPL Met you will be asked some meteorology questions to a standard of CPL.

PA28R I’ve heard similar things.

With the damage caused by the Global Financial Crisis fleet orders have been postponed or cancelled and as such there is a reduced demand for Pilots and the programme is being wound down a bit. Hopefully the programme will not be narrowed to only include HKG residents once more.

yea fingers cross

Thanks everyone for replies. Well, I know everything takes time and I don't have a problem with it. I just wanted to know when the next interview round in Australia will be held, that's all.

I guess in the mean time, I'm gonna do CPL + IR theories exams and prepare for QF cadet as well. It's not the end of the world.

Damn, gotta get back to engineering work. A lot of things due in 3 hours time :ugh:

p.s: When I applied for CX cadet program online, my initial account seemed to have some glitches hence I created second account to submit the application. A few weeks ago, CX sent me an e-mail saying as below:

"We found that you have already completed and submitted your application form to us. Your User ID is XX-XXX

We also found that you are drafting another application with the wrong email address. Please do not submit that duplicate application to us.

Thanks for your attention."

May be they are still reviewing applications from overseas in my opinion.

Good luck to those fellas heading for interviews, wish you all the best :ok:

While the GFC has caused damage to the carrier and aviation industry as a whole, I'd say it shouldn't have much effect on the recruitment of cadet pilots. It takes at least 1.5 years for a cadet to get from his first Grob flight to getting CTL in a B777, so by that time the economy should have run up a bit, people come and gone, and aircraft should have started coming in steadily albeit slowly. Graduating cadets who cannot immediately get into the company are put onto a holding pool anyway, so IMO CX should keep recruiting cadets for its pilot reservoir, given they are likely to replace direct-entry pilots in the long-run.

CX have selections put in place for Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Vancouver next month, so I'm not quite sure things are slowing down substantially? I'd say the long wait of around 6 months is just a common occurence now.

Congratulations. Where are you having your interviews? Where did you hear about Cx stopping interviews outside hkg?

Was anyone able to find the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices? i can't find it online or anywhere in the US.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

I do believe that I'm too late on this topic but I hace a question and need your help.

I'm about to get my CPL from South Africa and I applied for cadet program last week. How long do you guys guess it takes for them to call me for interview?

Please if someone knows tell me.

Cheers

Raven's APM
 

I cant seem to find it anywhere in Malaysia or on the internet either. :ugh:
Perhaps any kind souls here would like to enlighten us, thanx in advance.

I found a website that sells Ravern's progressive matrices materials but the price was utterly shocking. I think 3 sets were sold at around US$400.

thanks , sorry for the confusion i did't meant to say that cx has stopped taking interviews outside hkg, what i meant was i heard from one of the cadets with cx who is adelaide ryte now, saying that cx are conducting interviews only in hkg for now until further advised, now i dont know where he got this info from...lol, so if you have applied and are waiting then just relax and you will get interview i know waiting is the worst part, but hey good things always come to people who wait .

good luck

Re: Post #353

Hey, it's impossible to predict how long you will need to wait until they call you. It all depends on a lot of factors, most of which are unknown and out of our control anyway. It seems most of us here have been waiting for several months, if it makes you feel better. Hope this helps.

Another application
 

Wuts going on. I'm new to register in this forum, but just noticed you were from Los Angeles. I'm from Florida and I haven't seen many Americans on the Forum who were applying. I had the same situation. Applied back in August and sort of forgot about it. I got an email from them about changing my location on the application and when I did I got another email that night saying to come to hong kong in a month. Threw me off guard. LOL good luck to you.

Good luck to everyone
 

That last message was for AsL402. But I also wanted to say hi to everyone. I just joined PPRuNe last night, but have following the posts for quite some time. I also just received a call to go to Hong Kong. It was so sudden. They pretty much send an email that says be here in a month. HaHa. I'm glad to see that so many different people have applied from so many different countries. Best of luck to all of you. Cheers

Hey guys,

I Applied Last Week for the CPP program and haven't got any kind of acknowledgment from them. i know that people have been waiting for months but i just cant seem to wait. I m looking for a career change and CX CPP looks like the only affordable chance for my dreams of flying.

Anyways m from India and gave it as my first preference location for interview and my second as Singapore. but can i change my location to hong kong in case i want to? Looks like i cant edit my App after submitting it. Can anyone throw light on this? As i read this thread HK seems to be the best location for a shot at getting the interview call. or else what do u guys suggest?
