After submitting the application, it asked me to do the ICAO english test. At the same week it asked me to complete the Aon Cut-e assessment. After passing both, there will be a two day interview, including an HR interview(microsoft teams), and a Technical interview(microsoft teams), 30 minutes each.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong)
Interview
2 people from HR, one asked about only interest and passion related questions. Whereas, the other only about cadet pilot programme related questions.
Not sure about their responses but one thing is be sure to not drift away too much or over share, as they had to tell me time twice about “now coming back to the main question” and mostly repeated sentence was “be specific”
Questions included what you know about the CPP (e.g., training facilities, training bond), why you want to join the programme, why you want to be a pilot. Wasn't very technical.
I applied online. I interviewed at Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong) in Feb 2026
Interview
self introduction ,Why Cathay and what is your motivation, some questions about the cathay pacific like their fleet and their order plan, and about the program, what subjects are included in ground training.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
