Is CX still allegedly biased against U.S. Pilots? I interviewed with them three years ago and will be the first to admit that, although I studied for two moths, I still wasn't ready for it. But I've heard stories (on prune for what that's worth) about U.S. guys going to round 2 in HKG and getting hammered in the interview while the aussies skate through talking about the next Sevens championships and anything else NOT related to aviation. That's what I mean by "biased". Either way, I'm thinking of giving them another go now that I've got some 74 time, classic though it might be.
I can't speak from personal experience, but it seems as if they are hiring a healthy amount of Americans. The guys I know that have been hired have said that the interview is no gimme, but it seems that if you study up and know your stuff, you can get through it.
I have also heard that they can be less than totally accepting of Americans. I ran into a Canadian in LAX that said he ALSO felt some bias as well.
