Change in CX interview Process?

[EV120]

I have heard some rumors that CX may be/or has changed the interview process to 1 interview in HKG only. Has anyone else heard or seen this as well?

Rumor is correct.

 

[EV120]

Other that being short, any reasoning behind it? Even though it's 1 interview, has the content changed at all?

Because the no-show rate for second interviews is at unprecedented levels...up to 60% no shows.

 

[EV120]

WOW....I really don't know what to say to that.

Thanks for the info Capt. I guess my chances are a little better to see all of what CX has to offer firsthand.

I need to study...

Good Luck

Make sure you learn what color cup the captain drinks from.

The RED cup, touchy subject for some...

I was told that "I must think pretty highly of myself" for accidentally grabbing a red cup at 0200 AM and just getting up from the bunk.

I kid you not.

A Captain exclaimed; "A GREEN CUP?!" when I handed him the coffee I made him after I first checked out while PX'ing so,

I know your not kidding....

What is the history behind the red and green cup?

Just curious what the latest is over there. I began to fill out the online app yesterday, I haven't even finished it yet, and already today (by 9:30am est) I have received a message from Cathay pilot recruiting. I applied a few years ago and it took six months to hear back from them. Now I don't even get the chance to finish applying before I get a call. Granted my experience and quilifications have grown, but wow.

Guys over there still enjoy it?

The re usable cups seem to be a good idea....using re usable plastic cups instead of one use polystyrene ones. The colors were just to distinguish between the two when you sent the cabin crew with your cups for refills. They are color coded red and green for Captain and F/O (think nav lights, left red and right green). There are also blue and yellow cups, these are intended for the relief pilot (blue) and SO (yellow). What started as a good idea, evolved into a sense of entitlement for some pricks that have nothing else in life except being a Cathay COMMANDER!!!

Mayday.

I checked it out and do see a bunch of complaining, The problem is that it seems it is a few people doing most of the complaining, and the majority of them are Brits or Aussies. I am kind of looking for an American perspective (and U.S. based as well) as our experiences and expectations have been destroyed in the post 9/11 world. Wondering what someone who has spent a few years flying for a U.S. regional would say about Cathay, and that seems to be hard to find on pprune.

Thanks
