I definitely identify myself with some of the comments I read here. I have a degree in business and an MBA having worked on this field for close to 15 years. Last 6 years however I worked as a pilot being recently laid off from a major 705 operator. It looks like some employers see this as a disadva...

My experience during the hiring process at Transat has been excellent. When I went thru the hiring process I was still a Permanent Resident in the process of getting my citizenship.

Since they require a longer line-indoc period, they are started first to ensure that they get their hours in befor...

Any news on the July ground school?

No, just had the interview and three months later the classic 'The interview was successful you will be placed in a pool for a year' like most of pilots who ended up...

In other words is there stil...

Any idea what's the status of those who interviewed last December and received the 'good email' three months later? Are they still in the pool?
Thanks!
