Hi ljt213,

congrats on your appointment. Well done.

Could you please give us a rundown on your recent interview? As it seems a lot has changed since interviews in the previous years.

thanks

Ljt213,

Thanks for the info. When did you find out?

I have been updating and inquiring with their recruitment team as well.

Hi guys,
quick question to the guys who's attending the interview, first of all, all the best to everyone,
secondly did you apply last year December or were you guys in the holding pool from year before and did you guys apply for AE or TT?

Would really appreciate if anyone could help me.

many thanks in advance

Interview
 

Just earlier this month.

Interview spread over 2 days, told at the end of the first day if you progress to the following day.

Included:

• Advanced COMPASS
• Personality Test
• Sim assessment (747 400)
• Panel Interview with HR and senior line pilot
• English test
• Full medical check
• Group exercise

@ljt213
Thanks for the info!How many days after the interview did you know you were successful?What did the sim assessment consist of?
All the best:ok:

Thanks ljt,

I have a fair idea of what to expect in most things you've listed there, except the advanced compass test. What does this entail? from my research there seems to be a lot of info on the basic compass test for cadets but not much on the advanced compass test.

thanks again and good luck !

Advanced COMPASS
 

The test included ATPL tech quiz, hand eye and foot coordination, working memory, multitasking, instrument comprehension and maths. I found the interview prep program for Cathay from latestpilotjobs.com a great help for this

Thanks for your help ! :ok:

I have just been invited to the april stage 1 interviews in Australia. Curious if anyone has any up to date knowledge of the latest tech quiz and/or interview? If you have any questions or are also attending feel free to p.m

I have been updating my profile for last 2 years , and do send an inquiry email
to [email protected] , but haven't got any reply from them .

TT-1825 Jet time 1275 . I notice that they usually reply to everyone on this forum , is it because they have already rejected my application and ie they don't respond !! ???

Anyone else AE with final interview late April?

Anyone here will have stage 2 interview on 12 May?

Any AE final stage applicants for next week?

please advice
 

Hello, anyone that passed AE 1A and 1B that can shed some lights on the questions asked during the written tech test and the HR & Tech interview.

thx

Please PM me

Guys,
Has anyone received any call for interview recently?It seems quiet on the recruitment front?Have they found enough guys?
Cheers

nope no calls mate. Does seem a bit odd.

CXAE HR & Tech Interview
 

Hi all,

anyone that has been to AE Stage 2 please care to share or PM on the type of questions/topics during HR & Tech interview. Is it mainly HTBJ aerodynamic questions or has the format changed in recent times.


cheers.

Does anyone know specifically why there is always a significantly large intake of Aussie pilots each season in proportion to other global expat nationals for the AE program? Most intakes are generally 60% Australian, I've always been curious as to why this is.

Fleet allocation for SOs?
 

On average, what proportion of new SOs are allocated to the 748F, 777 and Airbus fleets? Are SOs ever given a choice/bid or is it random allocation? Also, once allocated, at what point can a pilot bid another fleet type?


Cheers

Lots of Aussies are taken because CX management and recruitment is dominated by Australians more and more. So they help their own out....

To answer the last poster re what fleet you go on and when you can change fleets - it's your luck on the day. Cathay pretends to give you a choice but it's not really the case as they routinely violate seniority when it comes to fleet choice and transfers.
