It's blatantly obvious some people can't be bothered to read this thread prior to asking questions that have been answered many times before.

Guys and girls, if you are serious about this application then take the time to make yourself a coffee, sit down somewhere comfortable and READ THIS THREAD FROM THE START.

It doesn't take that long and many of the posts can be skipped over as they just ask stupid questions ...

Come on guys ... it's not hard.

They will get back to you in exactly 12 days. You will have your interview on the 14th day then you'll be in the back of a 747 after about 17 days.

well i guess ill ask it again cause no one responded

I just applied and reviewed my application only to find that not all my flight time saved on the form. Im not sure what the problem is but just curious if anyone knows who I can contact to fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

Skimmed through the last few pages

Cathay was going to conduct interviews in Vancouver in jan 2011, any info?

nmcpilot don't you mean in front of a 747 lol... guys best thing to do is read the thread you will get the answers to all your questions!

Expect to wait at least 6 months before you hear back unless you are willing to travel to HK on your own account.

Anyone on here going to stage 2 in the next few weeks?

nmcpilot I found some similar maths stuff drop me your email and ill send it over.

I emailed them at the cadet email cause of a mistake on my application and to move my preferred location to hong kong. anyone know how long it takes to get an email back from them? Its been 2 days, im debating sending another one.

It usually takes longer than 2 days.
Try to wait for a week. =)

thanks midnightsky

Do you know if they are friendly. I filled in my flight time but when i went to review my application it didnt save for some reason so I emailed them and told them what happend and sent them my current flight time

Well, those mails are sent to a common mail and it depends whoever views your mail you see.
Yea, I can say they are friendly but the response that you might get will probably sounds generic to you.

I'll be attending Stage 2 in Hong Kong January 18th/19th as well.

Guys, I was wondering, is the book "Ace the Technical Pilot Question" necessary for stage 1? I mean, I've been reading books after books just to get prepared. Just wondering, is it necessary?

re: midnightsky
 

can't give you a definitive answer as you know they may throw anything at you.

however stage 1 tends to be quite simple. but that said, if you have time, why not just read it, you'll need it later anyway. beware of some bad answers from the book though (can't remember which but this view is echoed)

re: herrtob
 

Yea, thought the same way too.
I don't want to underestimate those questions in round 1 but I want to be well prepared as well...
I saw that book in a bookshop today and gosh, it's quite expensive...
I might buy the book, not for the interview but to look around at those type of questions. =)

midnightsky

it is gd to look through the book. i dont think you will be asked those specific questions tho if u have 0 flying hrs. but im sure it will help u to understand the concepts better. i went through the book, but i think i can only remember maybe 10% after reading? haha. its a gd book on top of JKT book. =)

for zero hours applicants like myself i would recommend the 17chapters of FAA's "technical knowledge for pilots" in between JKI and ACE. it's available at FAA website. found it very comprehensive in establishing a baseline

re: dagger19 & herrtob
 

dagger19:
LOL, I browsed through the book in the bookstore just now and I only managed to understand to front part of the book only. Hahaha... Bummer =.=

herrtob:
I've read that booklet too. Seems to be pretty straight forward.
Oops, wait, the one I've got is Pilot's Handbook for Aeronautical Knowledge.
I'm guessing that's the one right?
Did you do your Stage 1 already?
You did right??

midnightsky
 

ooops, caught.... i didn't print out the front cover so i read everything else but the title
spot on...that's the title, Pilot's Handbook for Aeronautical Knowledge.... thanks for correction, phew~

yes i did stage 1 when it was still divided into 1a and 1b. stage 2 on 20th.

how's everyone progressing?

how long does it take to get an email back from these people?

Hi guys,

Regarding the technical pilot books, I would like to know the best suitable for me to pass an interview (Part 1) with a company such as Qatar Airways.
I have checked online and found different type of books. Would appreciate your help guys .... Thanx

firstly, we don't know you. we don't know your hours, your ratings, no nothing.

secondly this is cx cpp thread, and i personally don't know qatar, don't know if you're applying for cadet (if there's even one) or direct entry for whatever position.

so how do you suppose we are to answer your question?

but in general, read everything? ACE/FBJ/HBJ stuff like that
