PPRuNe Forums - Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilot Programme

I have just received the reject letter from Cathay
After a waiting of 13 days
Not mentioning the duration I will need to wait before the next round.
Hopefully this helps and contribute to everyone here waiting, wish all of you an absolute success on your cadet and prove your efforts.

they might did you a favor.
going away for an entire year without salary, then coming back to get paid like ****
not to mention about giving away your allowance for 3 years
no clear time line for promotion
possibly end up babysitting the autopilot for up to 7 years
better to spend your time and energy on something else.
You might end up happier and wealthier.

For my final, there came a training a320 captain name Sxm (don't wanna put name here, but you can guess whether X for in alphabet), with the HR name Xdx
The interview started with the HR with HR questions for around 20 minutes or so.
Then the Capt jump in for some technical. We went from discussing air crashes, how did the crew reacted, dicision making etc. After that, follow by some PHAK stuffs.
The capt told me that I am obviously really good at airbus stuffs and also the aeronautical things, so he said he's not going to any aircraft related questions. He then went for HR types questions which wanna check my responses in different aspects, such as
- Initiatives
- Preference and habit
- Hobbits
and he mentioned how to convince him I can control the aircraft since it requires high coordination skills etc.
the captain part is around 40 minutes, all together around an hour as mentioned in the invitation email.

I am currently
- holding a HKIAA cadet offer(that one is kinda easy to make it through)
- Zero hour guy

really wish Cathay can do the reply sooner, whether it's positive or negative

Hey man,

May I PM you about the HKIAA cadet?

Hi guys,

I got an notification from CX and said I failed one of the assessments from the computer test and tell me to wait for 3 months and reapply if I want, has anyone got the same situation this year? Is it just me or someone also failed the computer test?

Cheers

Hi Hyeeee , for 4. Spatial Orientation, were their Arrow shapes that you can use to orient the position of the plane relative to the beacon, or did you have to use our hands or brain only?

Agree, I can't access the portal but I'm still in the HR process. Can't really assume or know whats being done in the background if your profile was removed. Could even be a system migration.. maybe asking them for an update to see if you are still in the mix?

Hyeeee

I am not sure if I understand you correctly. I believe it is just a simple practice thing as long as you understand the concept of RB and magnetic heading. Just give yourself some practise then you should be fine

Gotcha Hyeee, I was just referring to some videos I saw where people drew shapes to indicate the Plane, then drew shapes to indicate the Direction of the Beacon, in order to rotate. I guess these " shapes" are not on the exam. Can't post pics as yet otherwise I would have...

On another note anyone who needs a refresher on the math.. I found this.. y0 tu.be/Uo2yNiadkzM?si=4PeMg2W6YgG-P7QW (replace yO utu.be with correct spelling). These things we did in high school doesn't necessarily apply for ppl like me who just crunch numbers on excel..

Oh, that was unintentional... didn't mean to offend anyone... reality is China Air owns a large percentage so they will be well represented in due course

😂Trust me no one from mainland is offended if they ever worked in a local airline company. We’re just being extremely grateful for this opportunity. For a cadet in mainland from China Air or Air China( I’m kinda confused which one is correct) his salary is about 6000HKD/month for the first 6-12months after signing the work contract. I used HIS because they cadet program in mainland usually don’t give opportunity for female.

just needs to be more accurate “the right to work in HK or Mainland China” so the PR isn’t necessarily a must.
