Hey Bizzle284, I guess you are referring to me since I'm probably the only person from LA. Yeah the notice is a bit short but luckily I should be able to go back next month. I have already replied their email telling them I'll attend in HK. How about you? Are you planning to go as well?

hello everyone, i have a question...i want to apply for cpp program and i was wondering if someone can give me suggestion on this, i am from US and i got in trouble with law and have misdameanour on my record, will that affect me. I have excellent grades from uni, and awards, and recommendation letters from present employers and professors. please honest opinion , i mean would it show on the background check even though i was convicted of misdeameanour in USA.

Hi VG,

I believe the best people to advise you would be from CX HR. We can say 101 things but end of the day it will be CX's call to take you in or not. Unless there is someone here from CX's HR Dept who can answer your question.

But if you are having problems getting into a local airline, you might probably encounter the same problem with CX. I reckoned you contact them to clear your doubts.

Good luck!! :ok:

i havent applied to any airline in usa, because i dont have any flight time. what i wanted to know is that if i will have problem getting clearence in hongkong as pilot if i have misdeameanor in usa,

not sure...what to say

Oh I'm definitely planning on going. I went to work yesterday and got all my days covered. Kind of excited, but pretty nervous. I liked hong kong a lot when I went to visit my friend there last year. Just the flight......that is one LOOONGGG flight :ok:

I know you can email HR to have them change your location. [email protected]

Hey Bizzle284,

The thing is i have already mailed the HR at the email id you mentioned inquiring about the status of my application. haven't got any rely till date. So i wondering if it is wise to ask for the interview location and stuff even before they have processed my application.
well you should know this.. how long do they take to reply if we mail them with any questions? and BTW are you looking for a career change as well? what is your current occupation?

Hey Arun, last time I e-mailed them it took them 4 working days to get back to me. As there are so many applications, I don't think they tend to respond to e-mails if they cannot give a definite answer to your question. Maybe they are unsure when they will next conduct Stage 1 in India? If you have told them you want to change your interview location, then all you can do is trust they have seen your e-mail and taken note. Be patient, use the upcoming months to prepare.

Bizzle284
 

Sounds good Bizzle284, yeah its a pretty long flight. But I've flown to HK many times and its worth it every time. I'm pretty nervous as well, not too sure how to prepare for this. Just following the guidance from the previous posts. Hopefully we'll get to meet in Adelaide in the future!

location
 

Hey guys,
Is it wise to give the stage 1 interview location as HongKong when your preferred location is something else to get a call? Are opportunities to be called more if we have preferred location as HK instead of some other city? Please reply asap :)

Rgds,

Thanks

Hey Arun Fly. I'm not really sure how long it takes at all. I received my first email back from them a week ago asking if I wanted to change my preference and I replied I would change it to HK (I had that as my second choice before). Naw I'm not lookin for a career change. I work customer service for an airline here in America. The flying world isn't too great right now over here. Many airlines are furloughing pilots. But I've always wanted to fly so...here I am. It seems like a really great opportunity.

AsL402 -

It's cool that you've been to Hong Kong a bit. I guess you get used to the flight the more you do it. The first time I went, I had slept 10 hrs the night before (bad idea). I was up for the first 10 hrs of the flight, slept for an hour then back up. I was definitely ready to get off the plane when we landed HaHa. Good luck to you. Hope to see you in Adelaide as well...

Put it this way, HKG is the base of operations, so cadet pilot interviews are guaranteed to be held there more frequently than any other location in the world. I'd say the pros of choosing HKG over your hometown would be a possibly shorter wait for an interview that is more certain of happening. The con, obviously is that you might need to splash out for travel and accomodation in HKG. Go figure.

Hi. i'm also in south Africa and i have my CPL. I applied to the program in August last yeIr and they only called me up in February. It was a long wait and I had honestly given up hope but I got the call and went to the 1st interview. I will know the result in a few days time... fingers crossed

Phili-T,

I was at the interview yesterday....When did they say they'd let you know about the outcome?

thx
 

@holdmetight @Bizzle :hey guys.. thanks for the inputs. will keep those in mind. haven't got any replies still.. guess they are loaded with thousands of applications. :sad:

@Phili-T and forssi : Where did u guys have your interviews? Can you share your experience in the forum. It would be of great help to all of us.:)

Hey.

my interview was in Johannesburg South Africa. It consisted of 3 stages. I was sweating like a turkey on thanksgiving. But they asked general questions concerning aviation and personal stuff. They also asked about Hong Kong. But that wasn't as in depth as I thought.

After the interview I had a basic aviation knowledge test. They send you the material to study but its all general aviation stuff and after 500 I knew the stuff fairly well. Last but not least was a reasoning rest. That was a challenge.
All in all I felt I did my best. They said they'll get back to me in about 10 days.
Frossi, how was yours?
