Very nice facilities. Manuals are hard and difficult to read and they expect you to figure out a lot of what your supposed to do on the line by following your instructor. The pay and time off is excellent. If you are an RJ pilot from America, they will assume you are not very good so prove yourself through actions not words. The biggest negative is that every sim ride and every line check will include comments from the instructor. These comments will stay on your training record for your entire career. If the comments are good, and they like you, your home free. If they are not good.....well lets just say you'll have a hard time making Captain. If you do decide to try, give it 100% Cathay prides itself on being the best. Good luck

The cadet program is NOT open to all. You must have a HK ID card. In the past you required a "Permanent" HK ID card, but now all that is required is a HK ID card. Best of luck to those interested in this route. Although there are no expat benefits, it is an excellent route. The youngest Captain in the company went this route. He is 30 years old and commands an A330.

That may have been true last week.
There was a message from the company last Friday, which amongst other things stated that Cathay had officially launched its expanded cadet programme to ab-initio pilots WITHOUT a HK ID card. It stated that applicants should have some link to HKG, or be able to convince the recruitment team that they wished to live and work in Hong Kong. We were told that already in the first week, there were many applications.
Good luck
