I have an interview with WJ in August, anyone know what months WJ plans on running Groundschools??

Hey there,

The word going around lately has been that GS will resume in September !

When you’re in training put all of your time into training until your PPC is finished. Once you’re doing line indoc try to use your days off to study. Line Indoc you don’t really have garunteed days off. The training planners can shuffle things around. Once your done line indoc your days off are you...

Reviewing your SOPs will consume most of your studying. To be honest that’s what I’d mostly go through. Knowing the order at which things happen is really important (the SOPs break it down pretty nicely). Section 1 is pretty general items, Callouts and so forth, section 2 and 3 will be the most impo...

Define young enough, any age before 30?

I just got an email saying they have filled their spring GS already and working on their early fall classes.

No idea on numbers but they said they’re fully staffed for YYZ/YYC. Will be hiring for YEG/YWG/YVR moving forward…

What will be interesting is after the merger the low time Sunwing guys that I’ve heard they’ve been hiring a lot of lately will likely not be able to fly at WJ. Perhaps the plan will be to offer them a position at Encore, and hence solve some of Encore’s staffing issues (for FOs anyway). I can’t se...

You are not wrong sir!

Also, to the guy/gal who originally posted, really sorry about not getting accepted. As lame as the saying is “when one door closes another opens” I’m sure that is the case. I would strongly recommend trying to get some northern time in. Just a year in the right seat can do a whole wack load of conf...

Probably one of the best threads I’ve read through. It was like watching two kids argue about who’s dad is better

Does anyone have insight on the wait time between applying and getting a response? I applied as an FO on the Q400 in late November, the application status still shows "Under Review" and I haven't heard anything else. Excluding the holidays it's been about 6 weeks. Is this typical and I should just ...

Was just asked if I was interested in staying in the pool. I asked when they plan on running groundschool and they said March, April, May, and September.

I’m pretty sure they haven’t even gotten half of their current order for the E2s. Unless god forbid a serious crash in the economy happens, I don’t think hiring will stop any time soon. Even if they fulfill their quota for pilots in ground school classes, I’m sure some will leave for other airlines....

This made me lol

For the dash GS all in person at the island !

Know your take off briefing verbatim before you show up to class on day one. The more you prepare before arriving at ground school the easier your training will be. Don’t expect to be spoon fed the information. Take the time to read the SOPs with the intention of actually understanding what is writ...

Also, I know there’s a thread detailing what the first stages of the E2 ground school is like. Can anyone shed some light on what can be expected from the dash side of things ?

Hey there, I am currently in a groundschool scheduled to start December 4th. In their interview I think they mentioned a October 10th and November 13th groundschool date, but don’t quote me on that.
