You hit it on the nail LGHeyyy. The salary of the Captains needs to go up to keep a good roster. The FO's are making more as compared to their FO Jazz and GGN counter parts making +$50 per credit hr (75 hr gaur. per month) + USA per diem flying and more block on AVG 78-83 hrs... yes they fly more th...

Really lol?? Are you expecting GGN, Jazz and SRA pilots to be at the Riz Carlton hotel lol? FYI Jazz, GGN and SRA pilots are in the same type of hotels and are all in the same big boat ....except Jazz and GGN are unionized..... unionization at GGN and Jazz has done nothing really other than lower pa...

I can back up confusedalot. SR 1st year FO's are making that salary in 2018. Most doing 50k their first year. They make $50 per credit hr + USA per diem (not including OT).

Agreed.

I can confirm today that both Jazz and Sky Regional Pilot groups received the document outlined today regarding the new EPCP (Express Pilot Career Portal). In my opinion this route is better. Historically Air Canada has never given candidates any sort of live feedback in regards to their competitive...

No they are not, they require more. Candidates typically have 1500 hr or well over that mark. Most have some sort of multi turboprop/jet time or high performance single turbine with a ATPL in hand. Folks that have 1500hr + but do not have the ATPL signed off have/had jet time. As previously mentione...

Simple MIFR ride in a static King Air sim @ Seneca. The evaluation applies to anyone below 1500 TT.

I can confirm for the time being hiring is done via internal recommend.

As per the internal memo; Interviews are being conducted this week and next week. First 2 weeks of December 2017.

Thanks for the info!

Thank you for the info. Is it then safe to say that those who successfully interview mid to late Nov with Encore will be offered ground school in the new year ( Jan or Feb start dates) ?

Historically what is Sunwing's typical seasons for hiring ? Anyone have any insight into 2018 hiring? other than that they plan to hire "indefinitely for the next 12 to 24 months" Does anyone know if they have hired below their 3000 TT ATPL threshold? If so what sort of experience did they have (exc...

Thank you GATRKGA!

Cavalier44,

Thank you for the insight and details.

Also is AC drafting FOs as well as captains to mainline via the PML? Or is it just Captains?

Cheers,

What is the First year base salary of an FO and Captain without Per Diem? Any Health Benefits? Max amount of days on a given pairing? Upgrade times? Typical days off per month? Is there a bidding system in place? What is the likely hood of being based in YUL vs YYZ? Any hear say on potenital hiring ...

At Encore the ATPL is a requirement in order to be hired and put into a GS. ATPL exam's written scores you more points. There are a ton of folks out there with theirs already written. WJE does not want to waste their time with people they cant upgrade down the road. Hence the requirement.
