for my whole application process timeline:
ICAO: 2 weeks after application computer based assessment: 5 days after receiving ICAO initial interview: on the day after computer based assessment final interview: 1 week after initial interview medical assessment: 1 week after final interview hope it helps |
So ICAO English is prior to computer based assessment now?

HI all! I got a question about the tattoo policy about CX. As I got a forearm tattoo can only cover with long sleeves shirt, is that acceptable for CX medical assessment?
And I am going to do the laser tattoo removal if I pass the technical interview. Any suggestions? Thank you!! |

Hi all, I am new here.
I would like to ask how long an applicant shall wait to receive the reply/email from Cathay that instruct them to apply for the ICAO test after the date when he or she made the application (Day 0)? I heard some received next day (Day 1) after they applied (Day 0), some may take around a week, but also heard some weird case that they received nothing after a week/ weeks and their portal were 'clear' later (Don't know what happen to them!).

Hi mate,
I was on the same initial interview day as you, and I still haven't received any news from CX. May I know if there have been any updates from you, please ?

Not sure if we should thank the HK Government or not, because if it wasn't them, the UK government wouldn't bother to change the Immigration policy for us, and we would still not be eligible to apply, even though we met all the requirements except working rights. Reading on their website, I can immediately notice the difference between CX and BA recruitment. Clear, concise, transparent, educational, and informative, it's like heaven and earth comparing with CX. And the Standard, something that is missing at CX. Cathay's door is always open because they are desperate, but BA does not. I would encourage everyone that meets their academic requirements to give it a try. Having rights to live and work in another country did not come easily. More info on this thread https://www.pprune.org/professional-...funded-60.html |

I was on the same initial interview day as you, and I still haven't received any news from CX. May I know if there have been any updates from you, please ? i thought it was a system bug but after asking around, i found out normally after each round, if u pass, u will most likely receive an invition email for the next round within 2 hrs or so, latest by the end of the day. except for the final round, normally it takes 3-4 weeks. i received en email on friday saying that i failed the initial round. try again after 3 months. i guess the actions button was a sign of ur application getting deleted. lol keep ur head up and hopes up mate, can always try again after 3 months. :) this 3 months can be a good thing, for u to be fully prepared, right? aint a bad thing for the long term! |
Hi Guys,
Just learnt about CX opening for their cadetship. As a UK (British) Citizen, just wondering if we are eligible to apply with only unrestricted right to live/work in the UK? I've found it's not completely concise from various sources online. Thanks |

I am not a HK / China resident or PR for either of those countries. I applied and got invited for an assessment.
The HR did request for additional documents from my end after I submitted my application though. Who knows? |

Sad to hear that. Just wanna know, did they deleted your application before you received the email? Or just the action button disappeared? |
Whilst BA has just closed the door, Easyjet is now on the look. Check it out. Keep in mind, for Easyjet, you do need rights to LIVE and WORK in BOTH UK & EUROPE.
https://www.cae.com/civil-aviation/b...cross%20Europe. For those who don't want to be a Monitor Pilot/Cruise Relief Pilot/Babaysitter at Cathay, get your academic qualfication sorted out. You just need 6 GCSEs/HKDSEs, Grade A - C to get to the door. BA isn't going anywhere. BNO Visa isn't going anywhere. Stay put. Get yourself ready for the next intake. |
Hi fellow aviators,
I am a HK citizen holding FAA CPL, MEIR, and CFI, with approximately 300 total flight hours. My last flight was in 2021 as the past few years haven't allowed me to fly due to COVID. I'm currently in the process of applying for the CX Cadet Program. I've heard that applicants with flight experience are often tested on their technical aviation knowledge during the initial interview. Considering my 3 years break from active flying, I'm eager to refresh my knowledge and ensure I'm well-prepared before submitting my application. Did the initial interview heavily focus on technical aviation knowledge? What resources or study materials other than PHAK would you recommend for studying the technical part of the interview? Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! |

Thanks for the info Hardrod! Did not know British Airways has a free cadet training program as well, I always thought you had to pay X amount of money upfront. They must have changed it somehow. Sadly I missed the deadline, and I havent got all 6Cs in my DSE, thankfully their cut off age is 55 so I still have time, plenty of time lol. Do let us know when the next intake happens again! |
