But again, these are for cadets only. They arent interviewing or hiring SO/FO, and by what was said on pprune, they probably wont be for quite some time.

Yeah the cadet program is what I am interested in. I hope the program is still there in five months (hiring that is).

I wonder why they left America for last? Do they maybe think that we have it easier here and don't need a sponsorship as much as people from other nations do?

I am not sure. Kind of lost hope though.

I wouldnt say they left the USA till the end. On pprune there's people from other geographic regions who havent been called either. Im sure if they continue to interview international cadets, they will eventually get to the USA area.

None of the guys I know who applied ever heard back. I talked to an Aquaintence whos an F/O at CX and he hasn't heard a thing about any Americans getting a call.

CX probably took one look at public high schools in the US and ran the other way as fast as they could.

I wonder if having internal recommendations would help? Of course I don't know any CX pilots.

Just be patient guys. CX moves pretty slow in these cases. If you get discouraged after two months then you are in for a long career. Patience is a virtue.

There was one guy on pprune who lives in LAX who went up to Vancouver to interview. I believe he was originally from HK or had some sort of family roots there.

I know plenty of currently -flying 121 FOs and even Captains who applied fwiw none were called. Myself and another guy who interviewed at AHK (owned partially by Cx) didn't get calls either...guess I'll wait and try for DEFO (or So if it ever exists again!!!)....
