CPL & ATPL books
 

Hi all, I would like to ask for some recommendations on good reference books for CPL & ATPL. I heard someone said FTA is using Jeppesen textbooks, is that real?

Hi cpt underpants,
Noticed your replies for some time on the cx wannabes. Recently you posted about the low numbers required for the 2014/15 training program. I've been on hold for the last two years. To fill your curiosity on icadet experience myself and a mate also on hold have 4000+ and 2000+ turboprop 1000+jet rpt and still losing out to ab initio cadets. Not just cx either. Industry wide companies taking no experience guys who pay their endos etc over low to mid level experience guys. Suppose 5-6 years you'd have the same experience but why not start higher up the tree if you have the choice... Anyway tangent/rant over.. What was your source? Lol

PM for you

ATPL advice
 

Hi everyone,
i have read from some websites that cx cadet pilot programme requires some sort of ATPL MCQ test. Is this true for those who went through or is this for the transition entry programme? Will the technical interview also contain such questions? (I am a bit concerned about signing up because I don't have much ATPL knowledge, after all the cadet pilot programme is for those who don't have flying experience)

anyone awaiting flight grading?

Waiting time for CX application
 

hi guys
just wonder how long did you wait for getting called for 1st CPP interview? :confused:

Hey Loeks,

Niks van die comment aantrekken hoor, goede en legitieme vraag. Momenteel leiden ze enkel mensen op met de identiteit van dit land; ook al heb je vorige rondes overleefd, het wordt/is inderdaad wachten geblazen. De situatie op de arbeidsmarkt kan dit beleid altijd weer veranderen, dus wanhoop niet. Sterkte.

2 weeks ago I submitted my online application for Cathay Pacific CPP

4 days later they sent me an invitation to the Initial selection

I have accepted the test schedule, they have made a confirmation and sent me the JKI booklet and I have been studying

Everything seems alright, but yesterday they told me I am not shortlisted and will not proceed with my application.

Does anyone here experienced this?

I have no idea what happened and how to fix it. If I was rejected after the tests or interview then I know what I did wrong and what to do. All I could do is send an email to ask for a reason, but they don't seem to reply these emails.

extra notes:
I was born in hong kong, I am living in hong kong, I am a permanent resident
no record of criminal offense, about to graduate from University

What type of id you have? it has a 'C' alphabet on it?

What is your ethnic group?

I'm a Chinese Hong Konger with 3* on my ID card and have a HKSAR passport, I am just the most ordinary Hong Konger.

One possibility of the rejection might be my education, I am 1 semester away from my university graduation. Would they finally decided I'm not qualified because of this? But I see many people applied during their first/second year in University and are still shortlisted. I guess if they invited me then reject me, the reason behind should be some solid and factual reason, not my enthusiasm.....

I don't want to make a guess on the reason, but I'm sure that they won't reject your application because you are just 1 semester away. The whole selection process takes months to complete. By the time when you get your final offer you should already have finished your uni.

Just want to see if it happened to anyone here, because Cathay itself will never reveal the reason.
I'm going to retry anyway. My preparations will not be wasted.

I am a bit confused -you should be a HK citizen not a 'PR' as you stated in your earlier post.

He is a Permanent Resident for sure. No question about it. The real question is Why they changed their mind. You know, pulling someone in then pushing him away is bizarre. It's a huge bumout, specially when you didn't do anything wrong. Ryan2124, I would suggest you to talk to the assistant recruitment manager directly. She is nice and helpful. I'm sure she can give you a hand in this regard. I can give you the extension if you want to. Sorry to hear that anywayz!

I have tried to ask to an explanation but they just ask me to figure it out by myself, as expected, and I know this is what I have to do
Just it could be better if I can get some ideas from them because it is really an unusual situation
