Cathay pacific roster pattern
 

On average How many flights do you have per month? And when you return to base, how many days off do you get in between flights?

any idea when is the next round of hiring in canada ?

jaysolo,

roughly, you will have 3 flights per month (there and back) with 4-7 days off in between each flight. These "off days" are a mix of rostered days-off and standby days. But the roster is usually good and you lucky sandwich eating SOs should have standby days in one group so you have at least 2-3 days off in one go to swanny off to Bangkok for some Ladyboy treatment. Oh the life of an SO!

Initial interview
 

For those international cadet who attented the intial stage (JKI booklet) interview was there a english listening and grammer test?

In the initial stage there was no specific english component (only JKI, interview and psychometric test).

No doubt in the interview they will be assessing your skills as an english speaker to a certain degree.

Whats the average wait between the management interview/leaving hong kong and actually finding out if you are successful? (i.e. making it through to flight grading)

I was told 1 week and its pushing into the third week now.

intial interview
 

thank you for the info buddy :)

Once completed as a cadet
 

Hi Titan404,
Do you know if once you have been checked to line as SO, would you then be entitled to all other benefits ie health, schooling and accom??

If you could let me know that would be great!! :confused:

hello all
I can't update my profil in the cadet career section and the SO career section is not working too.
do some of you experience the same thing ?

updated package for international cadets?
 

I'm heading to Cathay for my Stage 2-3 soon. Does someone know the updated starting salary and benefits (MPF, education allowance for children, etc.) for international cadets? Hope to hear from guys who have just finished training in FTA.

Hi guys. First post for me though have been a pprune reader for a while.

I have been offered a cadetship but am still not sure i want to take it. Am at the bottom of the ga ladder but am confident in my ability to move up soon. Am just not sure on spending the next six years of my life as an so. I love to fly and by the reports on here it doesnt sound like so's actually get to fly that much. If there are any actual Cathay so's could they post (or even pm me) their experiences and as to whether they enjoy their role?

Also does anyone have a copy of the current pay rises (if any) that we will see over the next 6ish years?

And finally could any tell me if we accept on the current contract do we receive any increases in salary/allowances that they will offer cadets in the future?

Sorry if these questions have already been answered somewhere else!

Thanks Icarus
