I was put into the hiring pool a couple days ago. Was told one ground school per month starting in January. Hey Scdriver what kind of hours/experience do you have. Just trying to see what experience level gets pooled. Thanks! I’ll pm you Awww I was looking forward to hearing the answer too! :P

Hi there, I was wondering if you did your hirevue already? And how did it go? I’ve mine coming up soon. Did you get any technical questions? Yes, and it apparently went well enough to progress to the interview stage! Nothing technical, kind of get to know you stuff, a bit of your background, a "wha...

I just got a hirevue invite. This will be my first job interview in 25 years! I have searched and found several previous posts on what kind of questions to expect, but I am curious about one thing: It says I have the opportunity to rehearse my answers as many times as I want. Can anyone who's done ...

If you look at the bottom of the gazette, it indicates that the regulation changes for instrument currency come into force 6 months after the changes were published in the gazette. So double edged sword: a grace period for those that would be impacted by the removal of the 13th month marker, but fo...

Did you do the hireview and other stages of the process then? Affirm. Successful on the hirevue, booked for the interview proper in a few weeks. How was that? I have a few friends expecting it any day now. Pretty straight forward. A bit weird recording myself in a one-way conversation but not too b...

Anyone know what competitive to be pulled out of the pool for a GS these days? I’m not everyone from the pool gets called and those that don’t, their pool expires in 6 months at encore. Wish I knew! Did you do the hireview and other stages of the process then? Affirm. Successful on the hirevue, boo...

Has anyone tried just going to their offices? Back in my day I had to walk In knee deep in snow both ways to get a job. Call me a boomer all you want. Maybe do the unexpected and knock on a door if you want a job. Obviously bring a resume. But the startle factor on their end might actually put your...

Did my MEIFR with them, already multi rated. Excellent. Rates are extremely competitive considering the equipment you are flying (DA62 G1000NXi with FIKI and radar). This opens up doors to flying days you might lose to weather on lesser equipment. Instructors are orders of magnitude more experienced...

Anyone have any info on spring / summer / fall ground school dates in 2026? Do they usually run summer ground schools, or is summer usually taken "off"? Wondering the same. Noticed they have done March April May in other years, then stopped for June July August. Then restarted September October Nov...

That's correct (obviously) - but the 6 hours instrument flight requirement ("acquired six hours of instrument time; and") is being removed at the same time. So a couple of practice sessions of 3 quick approaches to minimums each and you're done. Yeah I just picked up on that! Positive change overal...

Anyone hear about TC changing 6/6/6 to be required after the 7th month, vs 13th? This effectively removes the year post IPC that used to be in place. This is the first I heard of it… Source: https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2025/2025-12-17/html/sor-dors241-eng.html or (10) Subsections 401.05(3.1) and ...

The reality is encore want you asap because they're wondering why you're not applying to a mainline. If I was you I'd be flying a king air for a few months and getting some fixed wing ifr flying and applying direct to something above encore. There’s nothing wrong with going to encore for a few mont...

Nah, they ain’t doing that. They need bodies. They review what you click accept to. Paranoia is everywhere these days. My advice: come up with situations or experiences in your flying career that are memorable. Good and bad. Explain the situation, how you reacted or dealt with it, and what you lear...

Hey, I wouldn’t stress it too much. Make sure to be yourself. It will give you some practice questions to do if you choose that option. The practice questions are also pilot/interview focused so make sure to do them because they really act as a warm up. The actual questions are to be answered withi...

Mine went from “application received” to “under review” within a couple days of submitting. Not sure if “in progress” comes before or after that… I have tons of time so not stressing yet, though this is the first job I’ve applied for in over 25yrs, so I have no idea what to expect! What does it say...

Thanks for the info everyone.

I guess there's no harm in applying, and if given the opportunity to interview, I'll emphasize the similarities over the differences and be sure to remain open to those knowledge gaps that I know will need to be learned.

There’s more to multi engine fixed wing flying than system complexity and V1 cuts. There’s things like drift down, diversions, range and endurance considerations, etc. The emergency has just started if you lose an engine in flight and you need to make landfall maybe hours later. Most multi engine t...

2000 hours in multi turbine helicopters is pretty impressive. Nothing in the rotary world appeals to you? Thanks - not really. I could get a great paying job but after 25yrs in the military the idea of spending months in logging camps up north doesn’t appeal. Actually my experience translates best ...

I believe I have my answer from this linked thread, which didn’t initially show up in search as the original post and title had been removed. It seems a single engine can be used to meet 6/6/6 for Group 1 recency. http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=213754 But I’m going to pull on the thr...
