GFS wants cadets pilots
 

All the local wannabes check out today's scmp ad for local cadets pilots for the Government flying service. It's a good way to start off your flying career...and it's all pai for 2!

I heard GFS requires perfect eyesight due to its job nature, wonder how many candidates in HK could fit this requirement..

Cheers for the heads up Flying Mechanic.

applied this post, and now patiently waiting to be called for eyesight tests, anyone knows when will I hear from GFS? I applied CX cadet as well, but failed it. Hope I will do better this time.

1 week down... guess its anytime between now and 9 weeks to hear from them!

I have received their "Acknowledgement of application" letter, guess the process has begun!

Hi,

I applied via mail and they just sent me back the last page of the application that states they have received and are processing my application.

Short listed candidates will be informed in due course.

Pretty basic stuff!

Will post here if I hear anything else.

Good luck, hope you get an interview.

At the moment I am just studying the background of GFS as well as going through some PPL books for some basic aerodynamics.

Good luck to you too.

Got my interview notice. Is on 13/4. However, I'm still in Australia. May not able to attend. How sad.

CaptainHui, if I was you I would try and make it, it's an opportunity of a lifetime. I work with some x GFS guys, and it's a great job.

just made a booking and secured my flight ticket. I'm heading back for the interview. Anyone on the same boat?

same date, 13 April. I will see you :)

wishing you guys the very best - I hear it is a great way to begin and jumpstart your career in aviation - GL!

anyone got an idea what will be in the eye sight test. I got a little bit short sight. Just wondering should attend the interview or not. If not, I could save a trip back.

When did you guys receive the invitation letters?
Did you receive via mail or e-mail?

read from the past posts, eye sight test, 20 feet distance, and an extra colour blindness test :ok:

got the invitation letter via mail, received it on 29 March ;)

got the letter, will have the eye test on 13/4

Looks like I am missing out on this opportunity :{

I was really looking forward to a chance of joining GFS when I heard about the position!
