Default Looking for Cathay info

First post here. I'm seriously thinking about going to Cathay (or at least apply). Any info? I've heard good things about the company. Any negitive info? Just looking for other input. I'm an AMR Eagle guy.

So then I guess they're putting folks into a pool then, because just last week on avianation.com they were taking resumues for FO and SFO.

erjf15,

i just had a buddy apply and interview there a handful of months ago. from what he told me the only bad thing he had to say was dealing with the "49ers" and i'm not talking about football. a quick google and you can read all about it.

other than that i've heard only good things about them. good luck!

I don't think they are hiring for North America. Just the "Cadet" program? Have to live in HK? I am too lazy to look it up though.

They're not hiring for North America right now unfortunately. I'm sitting in the pool and when I interviewed last yr they told me to expect a spring or summer class date, now they are telling me maybe 3rd quarter of next yr but I kind of expect that to get pushed back as well. Best of luck to you if you do apply.

They are asking for unpaid leave from crews right now. Maybe something more down the line so don't get your hopes up for anything soon unless things turn around.

All cadets and SO's live in honkers. I don't know of any Americans that went thru the cadet program, its for locals (Hong Kong folks). Some Cathay crew have had there kids go thru it.

No hiring until 2010, that's what I heard from the HR dept.
