I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong) in Jul 2019
Interview
Process is well planned and executed.
Start of with an team strategy to solve a problem or find the best solution. Then it was technical exam which is fairly easy and related to exam questions.
The sim session was the highlight, even though the motion was deactivated for the 777. This concludes day 1
Day 2 is quite hectic with a medical which will do everything, like eyes, ears, urine, x rays, etc.
