Cathay Pacific seeks Hong Kong-based direct-entry First Officers for regional, long-haul and ultra-long-haul flying opportunities.
Cathay Pacific is accepting applications for Hong Kong-based direct-entry First Officers. Successful candidates may be assigned to the A321neo, A330, A350, Boeing 777 or Boeing 747 according to operational requirements; an existing type rating is not listed as mandatory.
Applicants require an ICAO ATPL, or CPL with MEIR and same-state ATPL examination credits, a Class 1 medical and ICAO English Level 4 or higher. The minimum is 1,500 total hours—although 3,000 is preferred—including 500 hours as P1, with no more than 250 counted as P1 under supervision. Additional qualifying multi-crew aircraft experience and recency conditions apply according to aircraft weight and configuration.
Contrary to the screenshot, Cathay does not specify an EASA licence or an existing right to work in Hong Kong as universal minimum requirements. Candidates must satisfy detailed HKCAD licence-conversion rules and pass medical, drug, criminal-record and background checks. Always compare your logbook against the complete official criteria before applying.
