Stage 2 on May 27
 

Hi guys, is there anyone having their stage2 interview on May 27? maybe we can practise together :)

is everyone reading "useful tools useful notes for pilot interview" from DCT?
how do u guys find it?

Titan,

With a 25% reduction in crewing needs of FO's then does that mean they will be 25% over crewed?

Now your saying that they will simply change the name from SO to Cruise FO then yes I can see it won't make a razoo of difference to CX. There will be some mighty upset SO's now that they are over crewed and the 4 years to upgrade to real FO might now be 6!

No. The 25% reduction in crew numbers only applies to Long Range Ops. We still have Ultra Long Range Ops and Regional Ops. The crewing requirement for these hasn’t changed except for some flights to Australia and the Middle East which were crewed by three pilots under the old AFTL’s and can now be crewed by two under the new AFTL's.

Regarding the renaming of SO’s to Cruise FO’s, this is my educated guess as an insider. Everything the company is/has done in the last 18 months indicates this is where they are going and yes there may be a number of pissed off SO’s if/when this happens.

stage 2 on 23 June
 

Hi guys, is there anyone going to hv stage 2 on the same day? Lets study and practise before that!

Mind if I ask how long you waited since your completion of Stage1B for a response?

Just wondering if cx's still holding stage 1A overseas, and if so do they offer u accommodation and air ticket to hk for the rest of the selection?? I know they used to do this when I had my attempt 2 years ago, but not sure about the situation these days~~

Despite that overseas interview is still an option on the application, I think it will better your chances if you show your sincerity by getting yourself back to Hong Kong.

I met another guy that flew all the way here from New Zealand during my stage 1, he said the odds of an overseas interview is getting quite dim, considering they now only accept PERMANENT HKID holders.

EDIT: Correct me if I am wrong: You buy your own ticket and pay for your accommodation, the only perk is you get to live in their hotel during the FEW days you are there for both stage 1 AND 2. It is a crammed schedule if you are an overseas applicant.

That's great, thx Architect!
May I ask how're u doing now? Have they given u a notice for stage2?

dolpinsky
 

You are welcome!

Its only been five days since stage 1B, or three working days.

I know I am not in the position to complain because some people take weeks to get a response, but the HR have been relatively quick for my invitation to 1A and 1B.

But still, the anticipation is starting to get me :{

How long do you suppose it takes for them to give me a solid response?

Architect, it takes 6 days or 4 working days for me to receive the reply from cx and you may probably receive yours tmr! Cheers Mate!

If that is the case and they say yes, I promise I will be your first study buddy.

Thanks for the heads up, Good luck! :D

No news is good news. If you failed, they would let you know in a matter of days, whereas it may take up to two weeks just to get a confirmation that you passed, then another week for them to send you details on stage 2.

DrakeSkyle
 

Ah yes, the immediate rejection.

I have heard something similar before, although we were talking about invitations to Stage 1B to be specific... any common practice beyond that region is uncertain. Hope you guys are right about this "observation" :ok:

Are you applying to the program as well? I see you in and out of this forum in the past few months

The Architect
 

Just waiting on my medical at the moment, had to do some follow up tests.

DrakeSkyle
 

So assuming from what you typed, you are well into the process and ready for flight grading in FTA.

They took three weeks to get back to you?

Compass Aptitude test
 

Hello all,

I have an interview lined up for CX and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what the compass test was like and what specific types of tests you had to??

Many thanks!:)

The Architect
 

They took 2 weeks to inform me of my 1B result, and another week to send me information on Stage 2. My 1B and Stage 2 were almost 3 months apart, so be prepared to do a lot of waiting.

Am i the only one that always get the message "System error: The online application system is currently unavailable, please update your application information later."?

I have tried all different browsers in Mac OSX / MS windows.

This situation has persisted for more than a month I reckon. Is the server down or am I rejected in a funny manner?

DrakeStyle
 

In that case, Thanks! Best of luck to you too in your medical.

SCadet,
Since you are new, I suppose I give you a heads-up of the culture here. If someone asks a frequently asked question they will get bashed to kingdom come := Assuming that you are logged in, you will see a "Search This Thread" button on the upper right corner. Do a little study first before asking anything unnecessary.

Is it something major you want edited? Maybe you should e-mail them about it.
