CX training

Hi guys
I can't find any previous post in this forum detailing Cathay's training in Adelaide. Could some of you share the breakdown of the program with us? How long is it, what do you do exactly? I believe it's around 3 months, what about your family? What about after you come back to Hong-Kong? Do you have to pass your HK ATPL?
I'm sure it must have been covered but I tried CX training, Adelaide training and a few other things,no luck so...

I think you will find Altyre is referring to direct entry F/O or S/O not the Cadet entry which is 62 weeks in Adelaide.

Altyre

To be honest I have had nothing to do with direct entry F/O training but direct entry S/O’s spend about 1 month in Adelaide converting their foreign license to a Hong Kong license. This involves up to nine subjects, and 4 – 5 hours in a BE76 Duchess. You also do about 25 hours in a three-axis sim that looks like a B737-100 with EFIS practicing multi crew stuff around Asia. Bringing your family to Adelaide isn’t really practical. They certainly can’t stay on campus. Maybe a freighter guy could tell you more?
