You definitely require an ICAO CPL with 250+ hours flying experience to apply for the Advanced Entry Second Officer Programme or an ATPL with 1500+ hours flying experience for the Transition Training Programme.
The debate regarding international applicants registering for the Ab-initio Cadet Pilot Programme (with no previous flying experience) is still going on. The website continues to mention that preference is given to HKID holders, which means you can still apply. I strongly advise you to speak to one of the recruitment guys in Cathay Pacific and get that cleared. thx for the reply. As a matter of fact, i did speak to Suuny Signh (recruitment manger) on the phone, he stated that there is risk that you might not be hired even if you have cpl and 250 hrs. But overall, i was wondering are there more ppl with cpl who moved on to stage 2 more than ppl with NO flying experience at all ?? thx again |

rdane402 - Stage 1
Hi Rdane402,
Sorry I have been busy lately. Yes, I am from Toronto, too. Going for Stage 2. Here is the breakdown for Stage 1 (they are in no particular order): 1. Interview Mine was just an HR Interview. Though there may be a chance of technical interview depending on whether or not they have the resources to do so. (Either way, you'll get one Stage 1 or Stage 2). Just study whatever you can think of according to your level of experience (PPL, CPL, etc.) I was told they can ask you anything. Don't be surprised. The environment was pretty relaxing. Just be yourself. 2. Job Knowledge Test Make sure you read the JKI Booklet. You'll be able to answer most of the questions from the JKI Booklet. If you've done your ground school, you'll be fine. If not, the JKI is sufficient. Knowing more is better as I am not sure if all tests are the same. 3. Reasoning Test There is really nothing you can do to prepare for this. It's a test of logic. Some candidates were able to finish some weren't. I am not sure what the benchmark is. Try looking up Raven Matrices as others had suggested in this forum 4. Personality Test Again, it's another test which you can't prepare for. Just be yourself. Stage 1 to me was more about getting to know who I am. My advice to you (just as everyone else had told me) is to be yourself. The questions asked were quite straight forward. Best of Luck! |

I found this article dated June 15 regarding Cathay Pacific's pilot recruitment. Female pilots on top at Cathay Pacific | smartjob
If you would take note, the picture "potential pay" (it alternates between a female pilot in a cockpit and a "potential pay") shows a second officer between 1-4 years as making HK 25,000-50,000, this is different than what CX's website says as "starting salary package is around HKD 45,000). Cathay Pacific - Careers : Careers Home. From the article, FO 5-9 years (HK$50,000 - $85,000); website - "FO in their first year can expect to earn around HKD 85,000" From article, Capt 10-19 years (HK$85,000 - $200,000); website - "Cpts between HKD 130,000 and HKD 200,000) So, are we looking at some "fuzzy math" or are there something that Cathay is not being upfront about because these numbers from the article seem to be pretty specific and also suggest it may take 5 years to upgrade to FO. |
@ProPWannabe, are you really invited for the 61 weeks programme?
|
@captain.wierd
lol, you must have misread, i asked if anyone going for the stage1 interviews in london this week! |
Stage 1 in Toronto
Hi Pyromania,
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with me. I will certainly review the booklet and other information as I receive through this thread and will let you and other fellow pilots know how the interview went. I am currently in British Columbia and working as an instructor. It's a busy season with many students....I try to study at nights when I can find a moment to myself!!! Thanks again and all the best to you too! Cheers |
Direct to final interview
I have been invited to the final interview in Hong Kong without having to attend an initial interview in my current country of residence. The interview is for the transition program. Has this happened before? Would my interview be different?
