lol if these old folks behave like an adult or just a tiny bit as a professional, the whole cx fop would become a different story

props for you Slotsdown and Kenny :D:ok:

j3pipercub 18th Feb 2012 12:31

Ok, so poor widdle slotsdown is telling the experienced guys to grow up, based on his wealth of life experience and G(r)obRanger has been polluting bandwidth with his brand new handle... You two have no idea the impact your current actions will have on YOUR OWN future. I mean it's not that hard. Go and sit in a quiet room without your phone for half an hour and take the situation to it's logical conclusion. The people you are bemoaning now for whining WILL be you in 25 years time. You are your own worst enemy, you just don't realise it yet.

The hypocrisy and irony from you two is staggering. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Christ Almighty help us all if this is typical of the standard coming through wanting a career in aviation. If it is, might go back to single pilot...

stop whining. I think all aspirant CX pilots' would apprecite some advice and not cynical comments
What You think is whining is actually advice. Why don't you believe what the people who actually work for Cx tell you instead of justifying your foolish decision. You are getting shafted that is the the plain and simple truth. If you can't see it now you will in a few years and then Post your smarties
Remark on this forum.:=

What's reqd bmi level for cathay cadet?

ixg888 20th Feb 2012 04:24

Hi
 
Hi guys i just want to ask if i will qualify as a second officer at cx. I currently hold a cpl/ir and currently undergoing first officer training at alpha aviation for airbus 320. But my cessna hours is only 200...

schweizer2 20th Feb 2012 08:53

ixg888,

Sorry but to be honest, your post sounds insulting to anyone who will just give you the answer.

You have demonstrate absolutely nothing towards research of your own.

Im just going to spoon-feed you the answer this time, as I think someone else will anyways.

Q: do you qualify as SO for CX

A 1: www.cathaypacific.com scroll down, click on careers, flight deck jobs. and I believe theres a tab that reads "requirements", click on that, read the requirements and I think you should have your answer.

A 2: read this thread, 190+ pages on information (and crap)

If you have done enough research to do an A320 self sponsored type rating, please have at least the minimum amount of respect towards CX pilots (not me) that are helping in this forum by showing a bit of innitiative on your side!

sorry to be blunt, but it is shocking for someone to want to join an airline without even looking at their website. :ugh:

CX
 
good day sir, here is the requirement that i have read on their website.

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.

with all due respect sir, I have done my fair research in my re-application for CX.
my question in my position is, I think, is valid as there was no mention of an added rating will help me in my RE-application this time as an advance entry pilot. When I applied for CX last year I only had 22 Hours and wasn't able to qualify. So all I did was train and improve before my 12-month duration for re-application arrive. It so happened that my training went faster than expected.

So I decided to go through a FOTraining for airbus 320 to be able to show CX what kind of preparation after my initial application.

Sir, I apologize for any insults that you think I had caused. But it was just an honest query.

Thank you and good day.

schweizer2 20th Feb 2012 14:34

Advanced entry requirements:

Total hours = 250
Total PIC not including PIC u/s= 100
Total cross country = 35
Cross Country PIC = 30
Total Night Time = 10
Night PIC = 5
Night T/O and LDGs PIC = 10
Night Navigation training = 1
Night Dual = 3
Instrument flying = 10

This is from a form I received by CX when I applied....

P2 and P2X hours are counted at half rate.

Ixg888 re: A320
 
If it doesn't say 'Airbus/Boeing Rating would be advantageous', it aint gonna help. Not for AE programme anyway.....

schweizer2 20th Feb 2012 14:54

I agree with the above post, dont think the a320 type rating will assist in any way, shape or form with CX well atleast for AE cadets,

Cpt. Underpants 20th Feb 2012 21:51

au contraire, mon frère...

ixg888s' willingness to pay for a rating is fodder for the CX recruiting peons.

It's indicative of a well developed case of SNJ syndrome, eager to spend daddy's money to subsidise the inadequate illDoAnythingForAnAirlineJob pocket money.

He should be sure to tell the recruiters that he has his own jar of Vaseline, will pay for his uniform, and really, really, really doesn't want any salary, ever. A bit of begging and something to kneel on will probably help too. Don't forget the Rolex watches for the interviewers.

boxerpilot 21st Feb 2012 04:35

ixg888 u can PM me.

Will provide you some info that you can think about and use.
Daddy's money or not, u wont go unscathed in this forum :) If you are 'zero' hours - You are still gonna get crap, similarly for anyone with experience. :):cool:

CX tech quiz 1st interview
 
Hi All,
Just back from the 1st initial interview but pretty screwed up about the tech quiz. Does anyone know how it is taken into account? Do we have to be successful at 75% or more or less like the Atpl exam, is there an minimum average to get etc??
I am pretty sure I've done several mistakes and I'm do stressed about it!!

Thanks

I've just finished reading John Warham's book "The 49ers"
Should be mandatory reading for anyone contemplating the move.

M.FALCON 23rd Feb 2012 04:44

expected length of reply time?
 
Hi All, I also applied for the CX ab-initio course, mid 2011. Haven't heard anything from them, but recently attempted to update my info and was denied due to my application being currently processed. Any idea if this means that it is being moved through, or would it have said this the whole time? any idea of how long they take to respond to applications, and wether or not there are contact details by which to check on the status of mine?
cheers.

M.FALCON

It’s quite obvious you haven’t done any research because if you had you would know that the International Cadet Scheme is no more for ab-initio foreign applicants. The Hong Kong Immigration Department has put a stop to it which quite frankly should have happened two years ago when the first ab-initio cadets were employed. As far as the Hong Kong Immigration Department is concerned you don’t bring any skill to Hong Kong that isn’t already available here.

As for the rest of your questions, they have been answered to death already. Use the search function.:ugh:

2nd aircraft
 
NIKI. DC3 parked outside Cathay City

Do some research before you ask these questions. Its even mentioned in Wikipedia :=:ugh:

Sp0r3 25th Feb 2012 00:50

Actually, the "Niki" in CX City is just a similar model DC3 repainted into the old 1940's livery with Niki's registration. The real Niki is long gone somewhere.
