Yes. Those on course in ADL will start in HK upon "graduation", those already waiting for a course or being interviewed now will have to wait some time for a course date. Ab initio only to be processed.

Have read that the airline is still accepting CV's and interviewing potential cadets.

crwjerk 11th Nov 2012 07:55

Do the interview then, just don't leave your current job as you won't have a course date for at least a year. ( at this stage )....... Cx training plans change though.

Not sure if its been mentioned before but http://www.iqtest.dk/main.swf is an awesome site for practicing the reasoning test. It's exactly the type of questions you get on the day.

Also seen that flightdeckfriend.com has got a free interview brief for Cathay with interview questions. Looks like it's worth a look.

heard rumours that the cx are not taking anyone on atm.

is this for all three course? 62wk, 32wk and 5wk

if so might have to slow down my training...

Fabby88 12th Nov 2012 13:56

what do you mean by not taking anyone?

cx252 13th Nov 2012 07:58

how many cadets get hire when they are in their 30s?

SMOC 13th Nov 2012 08:56


Cathay has three recruitment streams for its second officers. At the entry-level it has a 55-week ab initio cadet programme for those with little or no aviation experience. These will tend to be young graduates and Hong Kong identity card-holders, says Crawford. About 60 of the 200 recruits in 2013 will come via this route.

Cathay Pacific operates 137 aircraft including Boeing 777s

For those with more experience - usually a commercial pilot's licence - Cathay offers a 32-week programme, which ends up with an instrument rating and a seat in the cockpit of one of the airline's fleet. Recruits can range in age from 23 to 48, says Crawford, and will come from all over the world. Around 70 of the 200 intake will complete this course.

Finally, the highest level of entry is a five-week transition training programme for holders of airline transport pilot licences (ATPL), with around 70 of the 2013 recruits expected to go through this process. The three streams give Cathay a "good mix of experience coming into the cockpit, with a global flavour", says Crawford.

AE 2nd interview
 
Hello everyone


I did my 2nd stage in HG last week...

I applied over 3 years ago and finally got 1st stage in july...was quite easy (i think)

This time..not so much... we were 5 3 abinitio 2 AE ...only 1 ab initio hong conger got in.

Everything went fine for me (at least i think) except the interview..i was the last person of the day and they were running late so not a good start anyway..

HR ok...but techincal guy was awful....i hope you don't get it (because it was not only with me ...we all had a hard time with him)

He was more playing mind game than really testing your knowledge. And really made me feel like I was a piece of mud (even though I still feel today i did study enough and knew my stuff)

Bad luck bad timing...HR also told me AE were on hold....

and it was confirmed by a friend the next day...he got accepted 3 weeks ago but will only have his flight grading in 6-9 months and AE has been suspended for 2 years .

So...good luck to those that goes now, i think you ned to be even better than in norma time. and please let us know if you get in...i would be interested to know.

and if you have questions please PM no problem .

Good luck to all ! and relax! it is not the end of the world :)

Anyone know the real reason as to why AE/Tt courses have been delayed yet ab initio cp allowed to continue into next year?

VeroFlyer 18th Nov 2012 10:22

TT applicants also delayed for 10 months...

orangeboy 18th Nov 2012 10:55

Maybe they don't need too many people in the next year, and since ab initio takes over a year to complete anyway, there is no real need to cut back on the course. AE and TT on the other hand are completed in significantly less time, and courses starting within the next year are probably going be too much when you factor in ab initio course already started and will be completed within the next year or so. But thats only my guess.

It does also seem strange that people have been told and received confirmation that AE courses have been deferred, yet, in the flightglobal article, they still intend to hire quite a number of candidates through the AE and TT streams in 2013 quoting the source of information as the manager of flight crew recruitment. Also, why continue interviewing candidates when there is the intention to defer FG and course start dates?
:confused:
