China Airlines Interview again
In the last topic on interviews everyone drifter off track?
Could we pease have some focused discussion on what exactly happens in the China Airlines Interview.
Could readers past and present please provide best information for future pilots that are hoping to one day experience the world of big jets like you guys.
What happens in the interview, sim check and whats with the hugh health evaluation. Why do so many people fail the basic helth check, the obviously have passed a medical to hold a licence? So what is CAL looking for!
How can a wanna be make it into the world you take for granted.
Please no more complaining. Because the way I see you guys are the luckiest in the world. Flying Boeing aircraft, living in the tropics and getting paid.

What do you want to know?
Basically the interview is very pleasant.
Written test is multiple choice mostly on technical stuff, atpl...
Sim check varies depends if you are typed,
Medical test is a big show. Previous medical certificate has no bearings on whether you will pass. Lot of tests. Must be medically clean I guess...I am still waiting for my result though.
Generally, from what I observed and asked around, it is a pleasant airline. ( I am sure many would jump at me and dispute this). They are paying market value. I am not sure if I will be offered but it just sound too good to let the offer go. Life and operations, you will need to ask a guy who are currently working there.
Send me a PM if you want to know more abt the screening process.

Sort of related to the CAL interview/hiring, ............
Can anyone provide an email or phone number for following up on the application inside CAL, a person in recruitment/hiring preferably, I received a request for additional information and was told "to standby for notice", I know it takes time but I have not received a followup response.
Thank you.

Poor E.P. Like so many narrow minded people, you get so fixated on insignificant details that you can not see the trees for the forest.
The big picture that escapes you E.P. is because you lack vision.
The problem is not with every one else but simply lies within the person you see in the mirror?

What are you trying to do E.P? Make a friend. What’s wrong, can't you find anyone locally that complains as much as you do! I guess not because you’re always here at PPRUNE crying for an opportunity to be sarcastic and laugh at the misfortune of others.
Oh poor E.P. You think the whole world is against you. Why don't you take your miserable attitude out for a swim or perhaps go out and have a dance. You never know, you just may make someone smile.
You know what they say??????????????

Dear All,
I have an offer from CAL for B744 F/O,starting on 3rd Sept.
I have read all the opinions about the airline.
I have headache for the following things:
-What is the possibility for any invasion/attack from the mainland China in the coming years?I am reading the daily press and those news are frightening me a little bit.
-What about the job stability?I mean can I count for a longer period (lets say 5 years) working there or are/were there any firing or severe paycut?
I am moving there not to expect left seat so please send me any info about the 2 issue above,post either here or by PM.
Thanks for your comments,
Deske

uno, YOU ARE A CRACK UP!! 
No need to swim (in Taipei....ooooohhh) or dance, you keep me more than happy, happy, happy. 
But seriously, why did you change your origin from Australia to Neverland??
Deske 1 Come on down and make the most of it. Your attitude seems fine, so just keep your head down and smile when the stick shaker wakes you up.

E.P. you have made my day!
But apart from that I really need some answers for the above mentioned questions.
So,how long can I stay at CAL and what is the chance for an aggressive step from the mainland?
I really need a picture about it.
Also,I would appretiate any info about the training and how often people fail?

Deske 1, happy to make your day AND I did so by being honest about CAL, unlike some others. You will not spend more than 10 days in TPE permonth, so you really will not think about the mainland threat. Plenty of beautiful girls and great bars to distract you (not that "uno" would be interested, although there are some "she-male" bars!! heh,heh) while in country. Failure depends on your race. If there are no foreign devils around everyone passes, if there is, the foreign devil will take the hit. As "whores shiiite" said elsewhere, locals first, first, and first. However, I do not have a problem with this per se, it just bugs me when they say the foreign devils "experience" is not worth shiite. 
You are going onto the 747, so just beware of G****f (expat ) The biggest d-head you will ever come across. Good luck.

E.P
Your type unfotunately give us all a bad name in some circles.
I think we all know who you are... One of the "angry" Australian Cruise Captains who are unhappy of not getting a command on demand. Here is a clue to get along.. Wait your turn!!
Appologies to Australians who do not complain.
2 points for you.
1. A real simple answer, pack your bags and leave.
2. You are a coward truley you are. You act tuff behind the computer but I'm sure we would ALL love to see you say that recent statment to Mr. Gandour face to face.
Get a life.
To all others concerned when I have time I shall start a new post to give a realistic description of China Airlines.

I'm sorry rdr,your name is **** forever.
There is no Taiwanese pilot that is not tainted by the brush of your superiores.
CAL pilots (many of those that I have seen perform ) are the worst pilots I have seen in 25 years of flying. Except , I have heard ,he Belgian.
To make your statements rdr you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
You people don't know what you don't known.
You are all babies in the woods.
But as MR. Un said . it is your train set. So. Fu-k up as you may, cra-h as you may, I doint give a sh-t.
To cal,lyourselves professional and airlines pilots is a joke

"Ja" Horse shiiittee, I now vemember vhere I met ju. You look goot in das fish-nets!! 
The last time I checked I was sitting in the left seat of a 747-4 with a central European passport & residing in Taipei, but hey, don't let me stand in the way of YOUR hatred of the ozzies!! I flew with one them who liked a beer, seemed ok and didn't bitch like you two girls!!
Interesting first post from High-on-Taipei. You sound a lot like G****f's little gofer. "slurp,sulp."
Kaaboeing needs to sober up. Horse and High-boy need to loosen up and remember that this is a rumour network not a personal attack forum. If you two have a problem with those ozzie guys you mention, have the balls to deal with it, just like I did with G****f. Just let the rest of us have some laughs. Now I'm off to the "she-male" bar in down town Amsterdam to watch "horse" at work!!

E.P I truely think you need some serious help mentally. Are you actually flying with that state of mind of yours. If so I urge you to take some time off. Or identify yourself so we don't have to take a risk in flying with you.
You seem to be at a point in your life/career where it is going south very quickly.
With no malice intended, I suggest you get control of yourself man, take time off, and seek help.
There are ways of finding out who you are via URL you know.
Something to think of. By the way I don't see anyone laughing here with you, rather amazed at your ability to bring forth such utter crap form your narrow mind. Good effort, wrong direction .
