age limits for CX
 

hi guys, does anyone know if there is an upper age limit to apply to the Cathay Pacific cadet scheme. im currently 23 years old but prob cant apply till im 25-26 due to study commitments. has anyone older applied and been successful yet? thanks guys.

Not too old. Apply now though and if you get in don't have to study :-)

i am currently studying my year 12 subjects to improve my chances as well as learning cantonese.

english is the language of the cathay cockpit, air china is big shareholder, better u learn mandarin son!

yes i understand that i would only be required to speak english(being Australian that should not be a problem), cantonese is just a personal interest that may or may not helpl me later on.

:ok:

No, get your education and then apply. You have a lot of years left before you retire. An awful lot can happen to the Airline industry in the mean time.:}

Cool!
 

Hi Peak Tram Driver,

I don't get onto Pprune much any more since I left HK, but I reckon you have the best callsign.

Take a walk down Reclamation Street for me.

747aus, I know of a person over 32 previously who was in the cadet programme so 26 isnt too old. They average around 24-30, if your too young they dont think your mature enough for it anyway.

Im 28 and re applying this year

Hey guys/gals

Age is not really a problem. I got into CX on the DESO program when I turned 35. For the iCadet program I feel age shouldn't be a problem if you under 35. Hey it worked for me.

Good luck

Maturity surely is an important aspect that CX Rec.Team looks for in a candidate , because that maturity will reflect throughout their career at CX but more importantly it is one of the keen qualities you want in a pilot.

But there have been Cadets who start at 18 - 21 !!

i m 25, no flying hours, but involve into aviation a lot, hopefully cx will look at that
