Re: Jazz Base Consolidation

No equipment bid. I was thinking YYC was going to be axed on the summer bid. Guess they’ll get there through attrition.

Re: Jazz Approach price change?

It was always $126k. About 145K with taxes. Plus living expenses, etc on top. Those prices quoted are if you complete the course in the minimum time. Not likely. I'd expect most people going through the program will be into it for $160K plus. I've been told most of the people in this course are mid ...

Re: Jazz Approach state

Yes the first class started in Kingston and i am not in it. Anyone shed a light on whether i should continue to wait the call or bug recruitment? Do i stand a chance?
