Cathay Pacific Interview Info.

[your_dreamguy]

Hello everyone,

Someone told me there is a book out there about Cathay Pacific interviews. Is this true? If so, is the book current or based on the way Cathay interviewed years ago? Can anyone give the up-to-date gouge on Cathay?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The book is old, but the interview remains somewhat close to the book. sim profile i believe is still the same. questions in book are dead on. know the cathay fleet, and engine choice. know the rb-211 H(T) triple shaft, modular construction etc.

just out of curiosity, what is yor backround of flying. usa/canada, charter. also for the interview, be very pro hong kong. if you aren't, no job. it would really help if you are asian. especially, obviously chinese

Followup

Thanks for the post. Do you know where I can get the book at? I've tried some major libraries but haven't found anything. Would this be at some bookstores? Anywhere else?

Look forward to hearing from you.

My aviation background is mostly freelance flight instucting with over five years as aerospace engineer. Main focus as an engineer was commercial transport avionics. I'm Asian Indian but not Asian Chinese.

Is there some sort of boycott going on right now against Cathay Pacific? I thought ALPA and IAPLA were asking all pilots to not interview until the 49 pilots that were let go were given their jobs back? I'm not up to date on the situation, maybe someone else here knows more...I believe there is an article in this month's Airline Pilot magazine (the ALPA publication) about this.

Be carefull!!

Fellas,

Cathay used to be a fantastic place to work a few years back. My dad was there during the 70's and loved it. Although things seem to have gotten very nasty over the last few months. If you want some idea try going to the "Fragrant Harbour" forum at www.pprune.com There are some of th...olic posts I've ever seen. Good luck. Kenny

Plain and simple. If you go to work for Cathay Pacific, you will be a SCAB! You will be a SCAB for the rest of your career! I would'nt even think about it. If you do don't even think about getting a US airline's jumpseat.

My advice is DON'T go there.... last week I saw a hiring ban posted in Flight international magazine by the Cathay union and IFALPA.
and that means that you will be a SCAB if you go.
I know it is tough out there right now to get a job anywhere but things will turn around. so STAYAWAY from Cathay and be patient.

You can be sure that IFALPA will have the names of those who interview and take a job at this time.

They are hiring those with no qualifications for a reason....

what do you mean no quals.? or better yet, how do YOU know?
just so you know, since you seem not to, the list has not been officialy published. the pres. of the aoa does not even want to. YET.

i have heard of two senior us air captains who are planning, if asked, to interview. if i'm not mistaken, us air is alpa.
