...its Handling The Big Jets by D.P. Davies the other book is the red headed step child to the CX Bible. Hope that helps and happy reading!

I was offered a CX DESO interview on Sept 3rd in SFO. I'd like to learn more about the position, life style, pay, benefits, union, living in HK etc... Anyone got any current info?

Thanks for your help,

Ryan

Im 31...and FYI still no word... but I also got an email from CX saying that all interviews are on hold until early 2009???? Just what they sent. I didnt keep a copy of it otherwise I would have attached it.

I was wondering. Flying the Big Jets was the first aviation book I ever read. Okay, Handling the Big Jets. Got it. Or at least WILL get it.

That's only 5 months away. I'm sending in my app. months before I actually have the time required.

Any Chance for me?
 

Do you guys think 1300 hrs TT and about 100 hours ERJ145SIC time would get me:D a chance to get in the SO position?

I got an offer for an SO position.. I have 2700 TT, 500 Jet PIC.

I turned it down in hopes of an FO position in a few months when I get 3000 TT.

Well that was silly.....after a year as SO you can apply for transfer to the FO NAM freight fleet. It will take you just as long now, and you've once turned them down.....can't imagine that looks good.

I think DEFO for NA has become extremely competitive. Most the guys in my SO interview group had 4,000TT and I think I was the only one without turbine PIC. Good luck.

What are the competitive flight time at CX? What are they looking for as far as total, turbine and jet hours?

FO times??
SO times??

Thanks.
