What does

mean captain? I am sure it is correct as you would have surely checked your own post after being so condescending, its just I have not heard at used in this way before.

:)

Good one "to at" Captain!:ok: Ironic that Sloppyjoe had to pull you up on that one.

Good spot :ok:. I'll leave it unedited as a 'penance'.

Application follow up
 

Hi Guys,

It has been eight weeks since I have submitted my application. I have read recently that they state you should know by eight weeks if your application has been successful. Based on the past though, it seems that it usually takes months to get an invitation. Should I email the cadet email address to confirm that my application has been unsuccessful, so I can accept the fact and move on?

Anyone still needing to purchase the Ravens APM can contact me via PM! :ok:

Accept it and move on?
 

If you really want to be a pilot don't just move on. Do it properly! I don't like what I see here: a bunch of stunned applicants all "gaga" over this cadet program! The real pilots must get so irritated with this whole thing!

stage 2 march 14/15
 

Any one else from yvr going? pm.

Just discovered all the stuff I used for my interview, lots of questions they like to ask with pretty good answers. This is for DESO and DEFO but seems the same questions keep cropping up. If you want all of it send me a pm with your email and I will forward it on to you. Oh by the way just to say it again you will find it very hard living in Hong Kong without housing allowance, if you are with a partner or kids and they do not work it will be pretty much impossible.

For those that have the stuff I sent to them just be aware that the answers are not always the best,

eg I remember something about carbon brakes and in the answer the guy says something along the lines of the colder they are the better.

The questions are typical of DEFO and DESO interviews and most of the answers are pretty good but best check them rather than taking them as fact.

Hey has anyone here done the flight grading for the 32 week course? Any tips at all? I know what is involved 7 flights I believe, 3 General Handling then 3 Navs and then a GFT with GH and Nav. I suppose what concerns me is I have never flown in Australia before, I have flown in the US and the UK but nowhere else, any big differences?

from talking to some people who has trained in ADL, unlike North America (I'm from BC) there are no rivers or trees to guide your flying. So VFR is virtually useless because you see a lot of dirt.

I haven't seen it myself.

ICAO exam..
 

Hi, I was recently interviewed for Stage 1 in HKG 2 weeks ago. They called up and scheduled for an ICAO exam this month. I asked if this was part of Stage 2 since he did not tell me that I passed Stage 1. The guy told me that this is not part of either Stage 2 / 3 but part of the "assessment". Could you guys give me some tips/suggestions on what will be covered by this exam? Thank you very much..

Follow this link: http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&source...qzJB7g&cad=rja

and scroll through the excerpts of the local VFR navigation chart. It's no west coast BC in terms of navigation through valleys where you really can't go wrong, but there are grain silos and major roads and things like that to navigate by.

bus driver, i was in the same boat as you a few months back.

I did do the ICAO english test, there really is nothing to be afraid of if you can speak and listen to english relatively well.

heres what was covered when i did the test in September 2010

- explain some words that the examiner gives you
- listen to a series of radio conversations, then answer questions regarding those conversations
- explain a picture
- watch a short video and explain what was going on
- pick a few items from a list and explain why you chose them


try and relax and don't over think things, most of the content is very basic english stuff, but you will have to pay attention to make sure you don't miss any content :ok:

Thanks very much for that BigglesNBella :)

ICAO exam..
 

Thanks orangeboy.. By the way what stage are you in right now?

i only did stage 1 and the ICAO test, then got failed on the medical :ouch:

ICAO exam..
 

@ orangboy: So you already reached Stage 3? Thank you again for your info..

Orangeboy, can I ask what area you were failed on in the medical? Eyesight?

busdriver, nope, i only did stage 1, then the ICAO a few weeks later, then was later notified i had failed their medical - the medical form you fill in when you do stage 1.


suntorytimo, i did not fail their eyesight

no obligations when going for the CX interview anyway..

and it takes roughly 6months for the whole recruitment process

so if within this 6months u get an offer for the B737 job just take it..

Singapore interview anyone?
 

Hi guys,
Anyone invited to attend the interview on 25 March in Singapore?
Just got my invite..
emails should be sent out to singaporeans alrd..do check!
FYI i sent out my application last july

Hi there folks....

Question to any UK based applicants.... has anyone applied and heard anything recently?

From the schedule that CX put up a short while ago about there regional recruitment over the forthcoming year, it claimed they were interviewing in London this month. I applied like 9 or 10 months ago and have heard nothing - they have told me on a couple of occasions my application is still being 'processed' though!

I see from recent posts, people have been notified about assessments in Paris and Singapore - so at least with these regions, recruitment is following the schedule.

Thanks in advance and good luck to all.

Bananaman2,

Hi mate, I'm UK based and have also heard nothing. I applied about June time last year so in same situation. Admittedly I was getting a bit worried when I saw the Feb date for London and still hadn't heard anything, so knowing there is someone in the same position is a little reassuring....unless we've both been knocked back, but I'm sure (hope) that won't be (isnt) the case.:ok:

Good luck to all called forward for their respective country assessments.

UDU

:ok:

Hi Alif,

Have you checked out opportunities with Malaysian carriers like MAS, AirAsia, FireFly, MASWings, Jetstar and several of the Malaysian flight training organisations which have been looking for FIs/AFIs?

lapsed IR
 

Dear all,

good luck for those heading for stage 1 for CX...my IR has lapsed and iam desperately seeking any flight school in ASEAN region for a renewal, does anyone know where to do it? Will a lapsed IR affect the initial interview with CX for the pre-qualified course.....any advise will be deeply appreciated.Thank You.:ok:

Hi guys,

I have a small (not really) problem cause I've applied just few days after new years eve. I've got the Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilot Programme Application - ApplicationSubmitted email but when I'm trying to login into my apllication and put my data the system don't see my app :/ I even don't have my PRN (or somethin' like that,or don't remember where I had it)...

Once the application has been submitted you cant view it anymore

RE: visa for icadets
 

Hi, I was just wondering for those international cadets like myself having no HKID / visa. Can HK Immigration / Cathay Pacific issue a working visa after a cadet has finished training? I have heard of rumours that international cadets were not issued visa after training in Adelaide. Also, are there present SO International Cadets who were able to get a working visa?

Hey everyone. Just looking to get a hold of the jki booklet (the booklet for stage 1 right?) if anyone has one. Thanks in advance

i'm a singaporean applicant too..

no news from CX, guess no chance already?

applied April 19th 2010, Singapore(1st choice) and Hong Kong(2nd choice) as preferred locations



will CX email rejection notification if not selected for Stage 1 interview?

Anyone going to Stage 2 on 14/3 to 15/3 from KL?
Maybe we can form a study group for it.

Guessed its back to burning the midnight oil.

@FasterStronger


When are you going to Paris for stage 1?

If anyone still needs to purchase the Ravens APM you can PM me:ok:
