FREE Cathay Pacific pilot interview information and gouge
Group Interview: Seemed to be the normal NASA exercise reported at other interviews. All candidates had a piece of paper with instructions and first 5 mins was taken up by reading your individual instructions. Total 30 mins for the exercise you had to come up with an ideal candidate (There were 8 to choose from). All candidates had differing instructions but not contradictory. There is no right answer but will ask how you came to that conclusion. Simulator Breifing & Assessment: We were briefed by a couple of simulator instructors through the profile in more detail. (Same one sent when interview date was confirmed). This was very helpful, they said the expect you to know it but it wasn't an assessment as such. They wanted to see general raw instrument flying scan and if you were reachable. Did the first ILS, go around and the instructor took control at the level off and gave some pointers then I did one more ILS and landed. Overall great experience. I did not do real sim practice prior just a PC practice which helped alot. Tech Quiz: Overall nothing unexpected here. Typically range of questions, some PPL...

Mar 05, 2023 The interview was friendly but questions are demanding for proper answer. Don’t answer what is in the CV but say how you can be useful for the company.

1. Group discussion About picking up someone to send to airspace. Nothing to hard, just do it as a team. Don’t talk too much. Better to show them you are listening to others. 2. Sim assessment Be prepared to deal with adjusting speed, altitude and heading. If you can practice on any real sim, even it costs, it would be worth. all necessary infos will be informed during briefing. 3. Tech quiz So easy. Level of ppl. No need to worry at all. If you already have some banks, just... Continue reading this interview experience
Feedback from: Daniel R
It did a good job of preparing me for my interview. I liked how many study questions and the reviews from people who had recently interviewed.
