34 Pilots Hit The Sky Following Graduation

The first graduates to have Cathay Academy training have been joining Cathay Pacific off as Second Officers and have begun their journey into the skies. After receiving theoretical ground training in Hong Kong, flight training in Arizona, the US, and Multi Crew Cooperation the new pilots were a part of the airline’s commitment to nurture aviation talent. Following on from the success of the I Can Fly programme this cadet training currently has 500 pilots in training but they are still recruiting.
