The phone interview is very basic. You will be asked about your experience, just covering the details on the application form, and a bit of a chat about you and why you want to work for China Airlines.
All very relaxed.
If anybody has any info on the interview in Taipei, I'd really appreciate it.

Hey guys
What did you do to get as far as the phone interview? I have applied a couple of times during the last 6 month, but no reaction whatsoever...
Any idea what their requirements are?

HEG,
Not sure on their requirements as they change them upon their needs...
I applied on the site then 5 days later received the email for the phone interview...I do have an internal reference from a local guy there..
wandering now what the interview in TPE is about...i know there is a medical and Sim...just what else?
Anybody know?

I would not be too worried about the interview process at CAL, it is pretty straightforward. If you have done interviews before then CAL is no different. You will be interviewed by at least 5 people consisiting of mgmt pilots, possibly a senior mgmt person and perhaps the Company Psychologist too!
The sim eval is where you have to "shine" in otherwords, demonstrate that you can fly and take "instruction". The medical is 11/2 days and they will check everything.
Much has been said about CAL on this forum and I would have to say that the sentiments shared by the majority are fairly accurate. It really is what you make of it - some like it Personally if you love flying and a career in aviation then you are best to look elsewhere!

I do love flying.
I have read the negative sentiments, and they're a bit worrying, but can someone elucidate a bit?
China Airlines seem to have nice aeroplanes and interesting routes, the pay seems ok, Taipei seems interesting....
So I know I'm being naive, but's what's the catch?
I'm very interested to hear: I'd hate to make a big silly mistake, especially as I've got a good job already.

All you can do is go to the interview and assessment, as I said, it is what you make of it but if you are happy where you are most will tell you not to leave.
As for the money, well that depends on your definition of not bad. Most of the expats are starting to leave and even some of the locals too... There is more money to be had elsewhere (mainland China).

Hallo,
I just wanted to bring up the thread again.I had the phone interview and just got an invitation.Maybe somebody could help with information regarding the interview,medical and the ATP quiz? I´m reviewing questions from the FAA ATP Database at the moment.Is this what to expect?
Also heard that a lot of people fail the medical.Anybody knows the reasons for that?
Also it would be great to get in touch with pilots flying presently for CAL,to hear from that source what it is about to work for that company.
I´m aware that many people talk bad about this company,but people talk also bad about other companys which I would rate as very good jobs compared to fly for an european LCC which is my job at the moment....
Thank´s in advance!
