Last year minimum for getting an interview was around 750h TT, not everybody who sends papers actually gets one ...maybe minimums changed , and i do wonder what is lowest experience who actually got interview recently, did anyone with less then 500h TT got an interview?

I was lowest last year with almost 900h TT
Cheers

Perfect. Thanks for this.

From the folks that I have been talking to, there are quite a few of us with around 500 hours or less, with quite a few around 250-300 hours... All of us have submitted docs and were told we will be invited to an interview

FAA Flight Radio Operators License.
 

Hey Guys, I received an Email from Cathay to verify if I have an Flight Radio Operators License.
I hold an FAA Commercial Multi and I got it converted to an Transport Canada License.

In the US, we don't have a Radio Operators License. So what should I submit then?

If your license got converted to TC, you should have a radio license copy, everyone in Canada does.

Also, i'm sure you're not the first FAA pilot that's applied to CX, so just explain to them that the FAA doesn't issue such a document.

Yes the radio license is issued as a separate piece of paper as industry canada is the issuer and it has nothing to do with transport canada... if you fly and are caught without a radio license in Canada, you could get fined as far as i'm aware

Just got the invite today for July 23/24. Anyone else get an invite for the same dates?

sorry for late reply, it took me more than 2 months to get a reply

Seems like its taking everyone to get a reply back in two months. I submitted my documents on 1st May 2019. When I asked them when would the interviews take place they mentioned August, but now it seems like it will be a while for me. Hopefully I do get to interview in August.

I wish I saw this thread while I was waiting in agony for interview dates. Got mine for end of July. Submitted all documents in March. Currently 270TT with CPL IATRA, etc.. Has this whatsapp group been started yet? Would be cool to talk to some people in the same boat.

Just completed the online application.

What were the documents they asked for when they first contacted you guys?

- CPL / ATPL Flight Crew Licence, include all pages, even if blank
- CPL / ATPL Theory Results (with percentage pass marks of all individual exams)
- Current Class 1 Medical Certificate
- Flight Radiotelephony Operator’s Licence
- Evidence of last Proficiency Check or Multi-Engine Instrument Rating Renewal Flight Test Report indicating 2D and 3D approaches tested (MEIR must be valid)
- Last Page of hours flown entered in your Logbook (total sum of hours clearly reflected)
- Passport copy
- Logbook page that show (i) VFR Cross-country as P1 of at least 300 nm; and (ii) 5 solo take-offs and 5 solo full stop landings at night.

why don't you apply to FO ?

Has anyone submitted their documents around the end of April and got an interview date yet?

Hi guys, Palm from Thailand. Has anyone submitted their documents around the mid of July and got an interview date yet? I was asked to submit my documents on July 12th and I already submitted. Does anyone know how long does it takes until the next step? pls DM me if you have any suggestion.

==========================

Until you have a posting history you don't have access to private messaging and adding urls.

Go on instagram and search acsaviationconsulting, the guy helps potential candidates prep for cathay pacific, since he used to be a captain with them along time ago. You'll have to pay a fee of some kind, but that vast majority get through the initial and final stages for employment. He's actually really good. A friend of mine used him and he's currently a second officer and enjoying it.

Cathay Pacific response time? 2nd officer
 

Vince,

Cathay took 1 year to respond to my application. It was then another 5 months until interview.

Get your CFI and by the time Cathay calls you be a Regional FO.
