The conditions are just not good enough for comfortable living in HK as opposed to my previous life style back home in the UK. If anyone has questions about life as SO at cx via the cpp just ask. Its the least i can do to warn others of what they are signing up for.
NB why do you say many are struggling to make ends meet? Guess it's better to elaborate on this point to show a clearer picture to everyone here.. thanks in advance |
Failure
Just received a rejection letter from the management. Ouch...it hurts. How can I reply the position again?
|
I heard that you can reapply after 1 year

I'm very sorry to hear that. If you read the posts above you will understand that the 61 weeks course is closed, which the HK government has a big influence in. The government said that the >250hrs applicants didn't bring any 'specialities' to HKG. So that must be the reason that you are rejected. You did pass I think, but not under the new rules. I suppose that you don't have a HKID? Success dude, try Kenya Airways CPP. Otherwise, get your CPL and build up your network, go for bush flying and maybe try Cathay.. If not, I'm sure you will get in another airline! |

The government said that the >250hrs applicants didn't bring any 'specialities' to HKG. Cathay's AE program requires candidates with 250+ hours which is also a HKCAD/HKID requirement, if I'm not mistaken. |
Cx
@captain_weird, yap, I did my stage 1 before the policy was put into effect.I wonder if they really serious by telling me to have an icao english re-test 6 months later the no ab initio policy withstanding

@Smurf
I'm very very sorry. I did mean <250hrs.. @Flyber, I feel for you man.. Make the best of it.. I think you have learnt something about those selection stages! You do have now interview experience which you can use for other airline interviews! Work hard and remain your ambition! It will pay off! When? God knows.. |

Now, I myself don't know why they mentioned +250hours in their website! |
captain.weird - Thanks for confirming. :)
Regarding the prerequisites, I was told by one of the flight crew recruitment specialists in Hong Kong, that any deficiency in the flying hours would have to be met within 4 months, subject to clearing the final interview in Hong Kong. |
Icao English pretest
Anybody here with an idea on Icao English re-test. I guess it's done during the grading because I don't think cx will pay for the tickets to Hk just to do the re-test.I was told I will have it in 6 months time.
|
so they didn't pass you on the ICAO and you are allowed to simply redo that section?
|
Re-test
@clish, yeah, I was told I will re-do it in 6 months time. Unusual?

$550,000 AE sign on bonus
@nb
I as well would be interested in hearing more about the trials and tribulations that you are experiencing as a SO with Cathay. However could you please elaborate more detail in regards to how your situation would change had you have been a AE cadet, accepting the $550,000 hkd sign on bonus? Thanks -Lance |
bond737- How did your interview go in Mumbai?
By the way, I do not know anyone who experienced it. But I got to know this from The flight crew recruitment specialist. I guess that condition exists. |
well no... i just didn't know you can retake a part of the test.... so does that mean you are on hold until your retest? So you finished all the stages for your exam? Care to share why they didn't pass you on your english?

about stage 2 interview on 12-April-2012
Dear All,
Will there be anyone attending the stage2 interview on 12-April-2012? If yes, please PM me and we might study together. I just wonder what sort of "Aviation Mathematics" is it about? according to the email CX sent, there will be 45mins to complete the test, it seems a bit longer than the traditional. does it mean the test has changed? |
confused
what if i have 200 hrs on aircraft and 50 on an FNPT simulator ???
:confused: |
You may/may not get away with it. I think you'll be fine. I had 230 odd hours of flying experience plus 20 odd hours on the simulator, and I was called for the interview. But that's just the interview. They could take a decision on the hours even after that. Good luck anyway.
P.S. - If you read more about the CX recruitment process on Pprune, there are chaps with 200 hours who sat for the interview. *chuckle chuckle* |
that's a relief... thanks a lot
