First post!
 

Hey everybody, first post here, just received word last week for my first interview on April 20th, was wondering if anybody is going to be there on that date?

Hey all,

Good news, got a reply from CX, interview in Sydney in mid april.

I am located in Adelaide, and applied in jan 2012

In other words, got initial contact after 4 months, must say its pretty good.

Wish me luck!

Hi Bond737,

I did my stage 1 on 21 Feb in Hong Kong. Was told that I got through on 27 Feb but wasn't scheduled a stage 2 interview till 22 Mar as they got mixed up.

Nicely done. How many hours do you have?

Thanks Bond737!

Cessna414CC: I'm a local with about 5 hours and no aviation bg.

Hi,

I have just been invited to CX AE flight grading in ADL.

If any of you guys have any information about ti, could you please send me a PM with some advice, information etc.?

Anyone received an invitation for the interview in April 20th?
 

I just received the invitation last week. I have been waiting for more than 8 months after I submitted my application. So, don't give up, guys. Sometimes, things just keep you waiting.

Anybody with an idea if Cx provides tickets to hong kong for stage 3 Icao English retest?

flyber - I really don't think Cathay would provide you tickets for the English retest.

Did anyone finish the stage 1 JKI test?
Can someone send me a copy of JKI booklet?

Thanks

Thank you so much for all the helping.

I google the same PDF file. However, is it going to be the same extract booklet of Cathay going to sent us?

Because I am wondering this is already 2000 which is about 12 years ago.

Thanks
Jeffrey

They only send the pdf file nowadays. Cheers~

Yes... same old books~ :ok:

P.S. - I'm not from Delhi. Beware of TXT SPK.

Hey guys, I recently read in PPRuNe forums that cathay stopped recruiting iCP with less than 250 hours. But I was still managed to apply with 0 hours.
It does not mention anything about the issue on their website.
Is Cathay still accepting international cadets for ab-initio training?

if you don't have an HKID then it won't matter if you pass everything cause HK dept won't let you work

anyone going for the interview on the 27th in Singapore?

hi mate
 

Hi mate ! Congrats,
I am happy for you that u been called for the interview,
I guess ur flying for Cathay right now, as it has been quite long time since this post.

Thanks for you help regarding CPP
Have a good one mate !:)

sorry I forgot to send u email
 

1st Interivew - Syd 16th April
 

Sydney, 16th April, initial interview.

Anyone else here?

Congrats!

When did you submit your application?
Did you apply for iCP with 250 hours?

Less than 250 hrs
 

I did my initial interview last Tuesday, 3rd of April. All applicants who were there had less than 250 hrs except 1 (no it's not me). The closest person had 120 hrs but still only had PPL. So, they do still accept applicants with less than 250. Also, it would not hurt if you go and READ their website. They WILL ask you things like "Where will you be doing your training? How long will it take? What aircrafts will you be flying? What course will you be taking over there? Will you be doing any SIM there in Adelaide?" Which are ALL in there. *below*

best of luck to all applicants!:E

This was a stage 1 interview and your sure they were not HKID holders?

Cessna414CC
 

HK ID holders? I never mentioned anything about the ID holders. I just indicated that we all had less than 250 hrs except one.

As for your statment, we ALL had HK ID. If that's the point you were trying to get at.:ok: I have noticed thought that in the "requirements" they did not mention "must have HK permanent ID", which might be the reason why a lot are asking.

Actually they have added in the programme description for the 61-week long programme -

"Preferences for this programme will be given to HKID holders".

This is because pilot with less than 250 hrs are regarded as "unskilled labours" and the immigration department won't give them visa.

But not sure whether they will still be interviewed.

How many hours do most of the TT guys have? They must have more experience than 3yrs instructing and when is a TTs date of joining to get on the seniority list?

Anybody got an invitation for may 10th in Amsterdam?

Pm me please

@MidRange, are you TT or AE?

@ ademaro

I am off to SG for 27th Initial for AE

Having completed my Stage 1 assessment a few days ago, I'm left feeling a bit empty as to how I went! For those who have completed Stage 1, did you complete the Technical exam? The Abstract reasoning (ravens matrices) exam? Were you successful in progressing through to Stage 2?

I feel the interview went as well as it could of, I couldn't be happier with that aspect. Felt a bit challenged with the Abstract reasoning, and was unable to complete most of the last column (2nd booklet).

Likewise with the Technical exam, there were a few questions (particuarly IFR & ATPL types, seeing I have neither), which caused me some problems, and again was unable to finish the paper.

I'm hoping that they look at my performance and are able to regard my potential, given my relatively low experience level.

My personal experience during the Stage 1 interview -

Technical exam - It was a breeze.
Abstract Reasoning - Put me to the test and I screwed it up towards the end.
Technical and HR interview - I think I did pretty well.

Result : I cleared Stage 1.

I'm sure you'll get through. I went to the interview with just 260 hours. If you've never undergone IFR training, that particular ILS numerical (if you received the same booklet as I did) would certainly put you in a pickle. I can't recall any questions from the ATPL category.

Hang in there and be confident. Good luck buddy.

In neeed of major help
 

I am currently a student in grade 11 at Aviation High in Queensland, Brisbane and I am making plans on taking either a Bachelor degree of Aviation in Swinburne university OR go training in FTA (Flight Training Adelaide) which gives a Cert IV in piloting and up to ATPL and/or type rating training as i presume.. they both have connections with Cathay Pacific and i want to know which is better. :ugh:

thank you very much, would you happen to have any advice for the flight training in Swinburne though? and what i can do to come across the costs?

Anyone here been to a CX interview with zero flight experience?

I want to know how much technical knowledge they are expecting you know.

My initial interview is on Monday, getting quite worried because there is really a lot of stuff to learn and remember...

Thanks.

Lucky86, are you a HKID holder living in Australia?

Hi Cessna414CC,

Yeah, I'm a HKID holder and I reside in Adelaide.

I'll be flying over to Sydney on Saturday night for the interview on Monday.


Hi localcadetflyer,

Thank you for your questions, I will try my very best in completing them in the short time frame I have left. :(

Do you really think this is what's expected with applicants with 0 flying hours?


Regards,
