After each assessment and interview they email to let you know if they want you to continue. Then the last day for me was the Medical and the ICAO English...

My simulator session was very straightforward. We began with a group gathering for document and license verification, then proceeded to the flight training department’s simulator briefing room. Everyone I met at Cathay was extremely friendly and professional. The briefing outlined exactly what we would be doing, based on the simulator profile provided to me about two weeks before the assessment. The session itself lasted around 30 minutes and followed exactly as per profile. B777 is...
