I don't know much since I just had my interview the other day, but I suspect it will be more popular than the YYZ port (which is what I'm really interested in) since more folks would rather live in Halifax than Toronto. I get many different opinions about the health of them, but the general feeling ...

I reviewed all the behavioural type questions folks think they will ask, period. Also, Gina will read reams of info to you about the company so you don't have any misconceptions. See the recent Air Canada thread by the dude who was hired as he lists about four billion behavioural questions, many of ...

I submitted the form via Workopolis Easter weekend, got a form in just under two weeks later and got the call for an interview a few days after that...

Tonnes. YYZ in the Air Canada facilities north of Terminal 3 on Airport Road. You get explicit directions if you apply and are accepted for an interview.

Telex's view

Some info on TSO standards. Really, I think you're taking unecessary risks not using approved gear, and I'd be surprised if WJ didn't provide any direction. See http://www.telex.com/UserFiles/Downloads/aircraft/2THE_TELEX_PERSPECTIVE_MAY_2007_.pdf for a brief discussion of TSO requirements. No way y...

Red 1 OK, I defer to your experience. I can't argue with WJ taking their time to do things right - and it's good to hear "revenue isn't everything"...still can't get my head around that. Being originally from "out west" and swearing I'd never live in YYZ I can see people's reluctance to relocate wit...

From what I hear the situation is more accute than that - allowing things to develop over time may not be an option as much revenue is being sacrificed to deadhead folks to YYZ.

Some incentives will probably be required. Again, I volunteer to upgrade early if I ever get hired 8)

Physical interview is in a week and a half. I have the impression having someone on the inside su...

The port system is working great everywhere except YYZ because no one wants to move there (insert YYZ comment here :P ). We are already down to two Captains ... OK, OK, I have a solution. Since I will be in YYZ (due to my dear wife's desires - not my first choice), I pass my interview 22 May, get h...
