cadet to FO

[flex temp]

Wondering what the typical time frame is these days to progress from a cadet to FO?

[energie]

60 weeks in cadet training
4-5 mths extra training in HK
~4 years as SO
=================
about 5.5 years

Plus another 1-1.5 years as JFO.....that is 7 years!!

Hardly a long time in this industry!

Have you guys thought about Dragonair at all! They are recruiting for cadets at the moment. The selection is the same as Cathays and they go to the same training organisation in Adelaide. The real plus is that after completing the course you start off in the right hand seat of the 330 or 320 as a fully fledged co pilot rather than being bored out of your minds as a relief pilot for four years.
Just a thought.

And chaps, they took on Cavallier, so they must be really desperate

A lot of times in this industry, the quickest way is not always the best way.
