Another video by Cathay Pacific introducing one of their own boys as a Second Officer flying their fleet of modern aircraft. It is videos like this that inspires people all around the world who aspire being an airline pilot and trying all means to get into the cockpit one day to fulfill their dream job and feed their flying passion at the same time. Who wouldn't want a job that he will be smiling while reporting to work?
But it is tough, right from the very start. It isn't a road that is going to be a walk in the park. Cathay's cadet interview process is one of the longest and most tedious I've seen; having to go through so many stages and the whole process might even take 6 months or more. And after getting through the many stages of tests, the ground school and flight training is another hurdle to pass.
Being an airline pilot isn't just about glamour, there is definitely a lot of hard work behind that shiny pair of wings pinned onto the left chest. Cathay Pacific has created a new website associated with their cadets. Lots of info in there, fellow aviation enthusiasts can go take a look!
