If you then have a question that has not been answered I am sure people would be happy to answer it for you.

If i ever get another shot at having an interview with CX... im just going to refuse reading this thread and ask just questions instead.... seems like people who just get through are those who refuse to read this massive thread with all the information needed. :ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh:

190 pages of free information and yet people refuse to put the effort in....

stage 1
 
is there anyone going for the stage 1 interview in KUL?

highsoarer 4th Feb 2012 14:05

study guide??
 
Hell everyone,

I'm wondering where do normally people who been called by the CX have their study materials?? do they normally just study on general term or they have a certain book that can help them to narrow down on the topics? I'm talking on the first stage of interview on AE program.

If anyone do know any source I hope you can share the knowledge with me!!
or maybe we can discuss here!

thanks!:)

Don't take this the wrong way but you should concentrate on English for your initial studying. You will need to be pretty fluent and although your English is far better than any other language I can speak I think it will let you down in an interview.

Hey guys I've got two questions

Firstly, does Cathay open applications the same time every year ?

Secondly, When is the closing date for applications ?

themidge 5th Feb 2012 14:17

#1 They collect applications until they have enough people to interview in one area. I doubt there's a regular time in a regular place, especially overseas.

#2 I emailed them towards the end of last year and was told that recruitment was ongoing and so no closing date.

Ghastal 5th Feb 2012 16:17

Guys, just a quick question for CPL drivers -
In the application where it states, "Do you hold a multi-engine instrument rating?", do we have to answer 'continuous' or 'valid till..', taking our instrument currencies into account?

newFE 5th Feb 2012 18:27

Advanced entry interview
 
Anyone has any info about it please?
thanks and good luck to everybody.

schweizer2 5th Feb 2012 19:07

@newFE

The answer to your question is very simple.... read the last 190 pages of this thread and all will be revealed..... or you can just hope someone will be kind enough to help someone who is acting in a very lazy way....

smurf84 6th Feb 2012 02:50

newFE - Here it goes, if this is what you're looking for.



Advanced Entry – a 32-week programme for applicants who possess an ICAO CPL and have in excess of 250 hours flight time in specified categories.

Training is conducted at Flight Training Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia. Training consists of technical ground school, HK ATPL subjects and flight training. All programmes introduce and/or consolidate jet aircraft operation, multi-crew operations, safety standards, efficient operation, passenger considerations and flight operation disciplines.

Successful completion of your Second Officer entry program at FTA in Adelaide will qualify you for selection as a Cathay Pacific Second Officer. Induction to Cathay occurs in Hong Kong where you will undergo a conversion course onto your new wide body aircraft. The Cathay conversion will consist of systems and procedures ground training, simulator training, and flight training taking between 3 to 5 months to become a fully qualified crew member.

schweizer2 is correct.

All the guys who knows that this thread exists should be aware that the answers are all within. It is not that the info cannot be PM to you, but after you have gone through the pages, you will be able to make out a trend as well as know quite a bit about the culture, pros and cons and after that, what you DO NOT understand, I am sure many guys will be able to help you.

Basic info - What do you already know about the company. Have you read through the CX website and absorbed all the media releases as well as company fact sheets. Have you googled aviation news updates on CX and its acquisitions and business model, challenges as well as future developments.

Reading and reference material - Books like 'Beyond Lion's Rock, Syd's Pirates, The 49'ers Story provide historical background. Can be ordered on Kindle or hardcopies from amazon.

Technical info - Wikipedia, Aircraft info, HK geography/weather trends and demographics.

Reading and interview prep material - How to ace the pilot interviews. Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators, Fly the wing, How to Fly the Big Jets, Aviation Weather. All these are similarly avail at most pilot stores or Kindle versions and hardcopies.

All the other tests will be based on your experience and education. It ALL well described in the past 100 pages at least. Info from 2010 is more than sufficient.

After you have done all that and STILL have queries, PM me ;) I will be glad to assist.

Cheers
