Thought they were going to grill me hard on planes and basic aerodynamics stuff like that. None! Also, how long did you guys wait before receiving an offer/rejection after the final interview? |
I know a few people that got an acceptance email on the same day.

Interesting. I had my final interview recently, but this was not my experience. The technical portion was indeed technical with questions about aerodynamics and various systems on the plane like which system/part controls xyz and how does it work? Answers were followed by more in-depth questions until I couldn't answer any further.
Also, how long did you guys wait before receiving an offer/rejection after the final interview? I dont know others but friends I know can't get a ICAO 5 because of accent, also there are exactly 0 candidates I heard receive medical check mail in 3 hours. Usually it take 7 to 10 days before receiving medical check mail, at least thats my case. And I got drill many technical questions as well, like wind correction concept, force feed back, decompression etc, so yeah I dont think it was THAT easy. Or maybe I am the one lying lol |

I'd love to hear more about your experience. |
you're not lying but it's clear that information on the Internet isn't accurate

Or maybe I am the one lying lol By the way, everyone is lying these days, so what's the surprise? Even CX People Department lied about upgrade time at the interview. They tell you 3 years and then turns into 5-6 years, plenty of real examples out there. Also, just because you don't know what you don't doesn't mean it does not exist. There are heaps of SOs out there who have a heavy accent, and they are ICAO level 5 pilot, flown with plenty of them before. This new CX recruitment team is still testing the water, folks who used to be overseeing the process have gone, not all, but most of them, I wouldn't be surprise if someone had a different experiences then the other, afterall, nothing is fixed and guaranteed at CX, including your EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. |
So true. Cathay is probably one of the most deceitful companies in the world. Speaking of upgrade, a friend of mine used to be so crazy about the icadetship scheme. He applied the program about six years ago, smart enough to make it the final. At the interview, he asked the panel how long he needed to be a relief pilot before getting that promotion, they told him about 3 years, he was like, okay, 3 years of my life wasted in the cockpit, that’s okay for me, so he signed on the dot, six years later, you think he would be a First Officer by now? Wrong! He’s still a Second Office, turns out there were heaps of Direct Entry SOs, FOs, CNs jumping in the queue, 6 years on and he is still counting, and in between there is covid, the quarantine restrictions…looking back, he was like, I feel like I am being used…”about three years” how funny is that.

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all doing well. I just want to thank those of you who replied to my previous post! Once again, I am here to bother you all with a very trivial question. I have been hearing conflicting information regarding the salary of a cadet pilot. Some have told me there is no salary because it is just a sponsored training course. Others have said there will be a salary. I tried doing my own research, but with no luck. On the careers page, benefits include an annual salary, but with the description "based on achieving target annual block hours". Cadets are training pilots so there are no block hours to achieve... Could anyone knock some reality into me and tell me what benefits are offered to successful candidates throughout their "training period". Thank you in advance. |
I have received the invitation for the computer based test 2 days ago. Anyone who has similar process with me, feel free to reach out.
btw, I’m located overseas now. CX said I can complete the the ICAO at later stages. Would it be after / before the panel interview assuming I can pass the computer based test. Cheers ! |

The salary package you see on the website, that is for those who have completed the training, who are offered a job as a Second Officer, not for Cadets. It is so misleading I know, they should have put a remark or change some of the wording, but, again, this is Cathay Pacific we are talking about here. |

Hi ya'll. Got a quick question. What happened if I failed ground school or flight training, will CX ever make me pay back half of the training fees? I sent my enquiry to both the recruiting manager and flight crew recruitment inbox about three weeks ago, but no one responded to my enquiry, it is getting so frustrating! Anyone can help?
