tcyung:

I have it on the 28th.. someone I know also has it on the 27th.. goodluck and will probably meet you in HK

You on AE or TT?

Can you tell me more?

How many AE guys were there at the same flight grading?

Entire AE group rejected :\

anyway i am up for my initial AE interview ..just got the confirmation today from CX. to be held in SG on 27th.

Looking forward to it...

Eagledream:
Good luck to you... Hope to see you around ... Btw , whats your back ground? Are you going for the AE?

hey..

just went through 160 of the 200 odd pages of this thread.
i have one question. couldnt seem to find the answer anywhere else.

according to the posts in this thread, u will be a SO for 4 years(or more..with terrible living conditions etc etc etc.. heard enough about that)
now coming to my question: does this 4 yr SO to JFO apply to the icadets?
or to everyone joining cathay?

what about the advanced entry SO's. during my interview i asked them this very question and they said 3-4 Months ..(MONTHS)
but after reading this thread i seem to have misunderstood. either they didn't understand my question, or i didn't understand their answer.

under the new recruitment scheme, how long would someone be a SO?

also.. why does it take 4 years to get promoted? its not like a second officer does much, or the job is very challenging.. so why 4 years? am i missing something ( i must be!)

constructive criticism is very much appreciated!
thanks.

Email them and ask them again in black and while...and if they said YES only 3 to 4 MONTHS to move to JFO...:= than ask them to add that to your T&C before you sign....Than see what they say...:eek:

Amazing

Passed all interviews - time to give back
 

Hi aviators,

This forum helped me a lot and I haven't said much in the past. I want to provide a one-stop support for wannabes.

I typed up my own blog:
http://cadetpilotwannabe.********.com/

I finished the CX process in details. I will also write up on KA later.

I will keep working on it.

All the best to you all!

Cheers/ Eco

@chakli
Upgrade time: 3-5 years depending on company expansion plan

Everybody joining Caffay now is an "Cadet", AE or not. The time to upgrade will be the same, if you can keep up high standards during your S/O time.
Soon they will be hiring DEFO's. Maybe even DEC's. Your upgrade may even take longer than the advertised 4 years due to you being bypassed so early on in your career.

What happens after ur flight grading gets rejected? Back to square one?

Just curious...doesn't seem so easy for the mates joining as SO as a lotta guys said out here..

The end after you get rejected

what were you expecting?

I didn't know the process thats all. So no second tries etc.

Tough luck.

New info for new joiners...
 

Just learning more about the process and wanted to pass along some new info that I found out recently as I've been looking into more.

The "local pilot's" that they are now employing will not be assisted with any housing deposit. This is usually 2 months rent plus first months rent. If you are looking at a place that is say 15,000, that will come up to a bill of 45,000. And after not working for over 3 months (for the short-coursers in Adelaide who have been used to a paycheck) or the AE/CP long coursers who haven't had a job in 6-14 months, it will be a tough assignment to save anything up to get your hands on some decent housing. I guess under the "ex-pat pilot" scheme, that assistance was provided by Cathay to the new hires. It isn't anymore.

Just thought you all should have some more current info to help you make the decision to go for it, or not to go for it and wait till things change a bit.

It is really getting made up advatageous to hk residents.. Time to really reconsider joining..:yuk:

cx's reject letter
 

i got the reject letter from CX last week,
i haven't got any interviews after my application til now,


does anyone have this situation?
pls share with me

thx

@kitcanfly
Did you receive invitation to any of the stages? Or were you rejected after your online applications? Are you a HK resident? Do you hold any license/hours?

i was rejected after my online applications, no any tests or interviews

i am a HK resident with 0 flying hr

Way back 2006 my online apps got rejected too.. :*

kitcanfly
 

When did you sent your application?

3 months ago

Hey Guys
I m new here
I have been reading this thread for a few days
is it true that the time period for getting into the interview after sending the online application form is 6-8 months??
I sent my application in August last year and still haven't heard from them, or even a rejection letter!!!!!!
Will I have the chance of getting into the interview after one year??
I m a HK resident with no flying hour!!!!!
Cheers:)

Anyone starting CP51 this April?

@Agatha June
I thought CP51 is in May...

I just applied through online yesterday. I live in Singapore but I don't hold citizenship. I am Myanmar citizen and I have been wondering if they would even consider a Myanmar national?

Is there anyone from Singapore being selected? How fast was their response?:rolleyes:

had my first stage in feb got result that i cleared stage 1 a week back but no specific dates for stage 2 yet, called them today they said might be in june/july long wait for that.

had any of you guys have to wait for more than 4 months between stage 1 and 2 ????

reply would be great help

@ ashokbhatt1
I think the wait time between the stage 1&2 depends on many factors and can vary greatly. As for myself my stage 1 was conducted July of last year, stage 2 scheduled for this April almost 9 months. :ugh:

Interview in SG
 

Do a lot of ppl who applied for CX SO get a call from cathay? i had been following the thread and found out that as for some, it was short, and some were long.

I mean what are the chances if I reside in SG? My first preference place for interview is in SG.

How many of you guys from SG got a call from Cathay in what time of waiting?

Thanks

Interview in SG
 

Guys,

What are the chances of being called for interview if i resided in SG?

And do most people receive a call for interview or many were just ignored?

Gee, 9 months? Hope you nail it. Good luck.

Going by what ashokbhatt said, I don't think a waiting period of 3 months would be a problem, that is if CX decides to conduct the Stage 2 interviews for us in June.

Anyone here been invited to Stage 2 on April 25?

@Sp0r3

CP51 starts on 16 April. Good luck for your Stage 2!!

JHB round 1?
 

Anybody had any feedback from Round 1 interviews - March, JHB?

Stage 2 on 7 May
 

Anyone doing stage 2 on 7 May?
