I have a letter of evidence for one of the alternate FAA color vision tests and was wondering if this would be an issue when working for Cathay or any other foregin airline. Thanks,

Ryan

I have two friends got hired during last two years, both color blind. I belive as far as you have the wavier from FAA, you are fine. You can also e-mail their doctor, before you go for your interview, his name is Robert Cocks, but I don't have his e-mail address. If you are so concerned, you can e-mail him even before applying for CX. I hope this helps.

Default Me too

I also am waiting for a class date. I interviewed (initially) in late Oct. My last interview was Mid Nov. I have a buddy that got 340 F/O out of Van. What is your status. When did you interview and how did you find out that it's another 6 mos?

Thanks

i interviewed in june and was told to expect end of 07 start of '08 and now talking to a guy who interviewed the day after me he was told nothing available in the US until may or june...and it may have been an "at least" may or june.
he also said the 340 out of vancouver or toronto was available but I don't know how that works without a visa plus if they're getting rid of that thing I don't fancy doing another 5 months of training for a different a/c type.

Cathay is not getting rid of the A340 fleet, just the -600. The 340 may go away eventually but for now the -300 (I think that is what the rest are) will be around for a while.

Also, I do not believe that the 340 is offered in YYZ as that base is starting to convert to the 777. People have gotten the 340 in YVR as new hires this year.

As far as minimums for DEFO, the website has not been updated for a while and I would just apply and see what happens. The majority of people starting are from the North American regionals.
