Yes they only check the references after the interview. Right now, guys don't do their medical until a couple months before their hiring. I know guys who are still in the original pool and their interview date was over 3 years ago so keep in mind that it could take a while for the entire process

With Air Canada, an aviation diploma can replace a degree in terms of points. I was hired in 2012 with 2500 hours and an aviation diploma only. I don't think that doing a degree is bad, especially if you are doing it at the same time as your flight lessons. What I don't recommend is 'loosing' 3 or 4...

In the September course, the 4 guys from the outside 20% were from the pool. From course to course, they sometimes take Sky and Georgian people in the 20% but it always varies.

Anyone care to guess when they will open the application window again? It's been some time since I was able to update my resume. The last update we got in June was estimating a post for job vacancies in Spring/Summer of 2016 or sooner. My guess is that they will wait until the pool is almost empty ...

I heard 19 people and 4 from the pool.

For those who are interested, here is what I know:
-There will be a course on March 16th and another one on March 30th.
-They are aiming for 20 guys on the 16th within which 4 should be from the pool
-They called for medical people I know who interviewed in March 2013
That's all I know, good luck!

Great thread! I have a question along the lines of career progression for a junior FO. I understand that new hires ususally bid FO on EMJ (or RP on B767, B777 etc). Assuming a new hire bids FO EMJ, what kind of career progression could be expected, and what are the pros and cons of each? From what ...

On my GS back in feb 2012 they provided "accomodations" but no perdiems. For what its worth, In the last equipment bid I saw maybe 6 open spots on the EMJ FO in Montreal. They started giving perdiems with the new contract in August 2012 There are also 2 spots on the 320 which brings the total to 8 ...

I'll answer your questions thinking about mainline as we don't know exactly what the Low Cost conditions will be. 1- Mainline year 1 salary is currently 50.27 per hour. As a new hire, you often start on reserve and the minimum monthly guaranteed hours change every month but the absolute minimum is 6...

The new hires are frozen on their position for 4 years so unless you bid something else and the company needs you there, it could take 4 years.

My understanding is that option A is correct

Missinippi pays 55000 for captains, 32000 for FO, no perdiem, no bond, 2 weeks on 2 weeks off

I'm in a company where the medevac operation works on a 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off schedule. The employer tries to give us extra days off through the year but when it's impossible, they just accumulate them and pay everything at the end of the year. So we get 1.5 extra day paid for each stat day we ...

Yep good job! I guess the Islander is one of these airplanes that only give you good gliding performance on one engine

The Transportation Safety Board is investigating after an aircraft made an emergency landing Friday morning on Highway 391. RCMP say the Kelsey Dam-bound aircraft’s right engine failed when it landed approximately 22 km northwest of Thompson at about 10:50 a.m. All five passengers on board, along wi...

No wrong Simon, he used to be on the King Air but he was now on the Navajo in Thompson

They take old CRJ and remake the interior to get a cheaper corporate aircraft which they call challenger 850
