Pool Questions & GS Invitations

Good day all,

I am wondering how long some of you have been in the hiring pool for and has anyone received a ground school date or know when the next ground schools are?

Thank you

Timelines

Hello all, I recently attended the talent fair at the westjet Campus on 29 September. I was curious to hear from any of you that have been through one before; approximately how long does it take - post talent show - for them to either select you for next steps or pass on your application? Thanks for...

The CP is ex Cathay and a first rate guy too Watch out for the office lady. She wields a big stick and has...

Re: ground schools canceled

Wait a second people - we are forgetting one thing here. At least the CP had the decency to come on here and talk and answer questions about the hiring processes and environment at Flair. I think that says a lot about his/her character. With the current goings on and this pending lawsuit, I am sure ...

Re: New hire bids

nope What’s the deal then? They keep their seniority number, get furlough and their initial GS is to be completed on the callback? I was in this Ground School. We got through week 1 - did base and aircraft draw on day two and got through most of CRM. We got our iPads and wings and bars and then got...

Re: Grab a seat. The music is stopping

This whole thing has me spinning myself. Two low time jobs in, pipes and skydiving with a little more than 800 hours. Finished my IATRA and Group one a month ago, then proceeded to fire out resumes to all the places I have wanted to work long time. Even told the skydive job I'd bow out and let them...

A lot of groundschools in Canada are already being cancelled or delayed due to covid-19. How is Jazz looking right now? Are they still planning gs every two weeks?

Re: Jazz Pilot Pool

March 16 and March 30 GSs are still going ahead with 20 OTS pilots in each. All GGN pilots are through. When I hear of more GS I’ll post or whatever news I get about the future of hiring. Our April Schedule was delayed due to AC making changes to service so that will be a good indication of what th...

Would seem like a lot of trouble on the part of Jazz HR to go that deep in to the process and PFO someone no?

Re: Entire application process timeline?

Im in the same boat as you Caterpillar. Although my process went very very quickly. Just over two weeks from initial phone screening to cog tests to Skype interview to physc / sim eval to background and medical.

Just waiting now to see if I made it to the pool!
