Re: YWG in-person interviews
Thanks for the quick reply! Ya I checked and it said eligible for offer as well but no other information is given so I wasn't too sure.
Re: YWG in-person interviews
Bump. In YWG, account updated and I am now 'eligible for offer'. Any word from anybody else?
Re: YWG in-person interviews
I've just been offered IFR starting in April. Has anybody else in YWG heard back on courses? If anybody else on the forum is in/has done IFR shoot me a pm
Re: YWG in-person interviews
Congrats! I haven't heard anything yet. Still sitting at Eligible for Offer. I am hoping they run a VFR course soon as well.
Just curious... Did they phone you or send you an email for your offer?

Re: YWG in-person interviews
They gave me a phone call to make a verbal offer.. I'll be getting an offer letter in the mail I was told.
Re: YWG in-person interviews
Jos looks like I'll be seeing you in course in April!
Re: YWG in-person interviews
i went for my interview a few days ago and they told me that there are a few ifr seats left for the spring course. they may do 2 fss seats in the fall and most likely a vfr class but will for sure be doing an ifr class in the fall.
good luck to the people who got accepted into the ifr class it sounds intense.

Re: YWG in-person interviews
Sounds like they have a lot of IFR courses planned. Not much word on VFR it seems.
Good luck to all on the IFR courses and congrats!

Re: YWG in-person interviews
Good luck to all who are getting course offers.
I was just wondering how many different towers could they send you to when you completed your VFR course , and how many different sectors could you be sent to after completing your IFR course?
Does Winnipeg only have one terminal sector in their FIR ?

Re: YWG in-person interviews
Thanks for the reply. I’d love to get anyone of those towers but preference for Winnipeg. I’m assuming Winnipeg would be an ATC4, does anyone know this to be correct ?johnontwo wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 2:10 pmI’m not certain exactly how many IFR sectors there are but the VFR Towers in YWG FIR are:ProfessionalATC wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 9:53 pm Good luck to all who are getting course offers.

Re: YWG in-person interviews
if you get ifr you'll be in winnipeg. i asked about getting placed in another fir in my interview they said it was a possibility but highly unlikely.
Re: YWG in-person interviews
hey how long did it take before you got a response back about your interview? i did mine over three weeks and don't have an update yet. i personally don't feel like it went that well so i'm not hopeful lol but i'd like to know either way.
Re: YWG in-person interviews
well i put it out into the universe i guess. i heard back today and got offered a fss spot starting June 17th. i am still thinking about it though. it's a big decision. thanks to all the people who answered my questions on here and for all the people who posted tips!!

Re: YWG in-person interviews
Grats... I think. TBH for me that would be the worst dilemma. To accept or not to accept?
Do you know if you were just streamed for FSS, or if you still have a chance at being offered IFR/VFR should you decide to decline this offer?

Re: YWG in-person interviews
My understanding is they’ve stopped telling people what they’ve streamed. In my case they wouldn’t say over the phone but the old Take Charge page gave it away when Iogged in, the new MyWorkDay likely won’t.
Congrats on the offer! I visited the FIC in Winnipeg and everybody there was super nice and seemed to really love what they were doing. I suppose the sticking point is always going to be how comfortable you are with moving.

Re: YWG in-person interviews
lol i guess my post wasnt super positive. i was a little overwhelmed. i went through this process wanting this outcome but if i take it it will be a big change in my personal life. so it got very real because honestly the chances of getting a spot are so slim and i wanted to remain realistic.
i have zero interest in ifr. my preference was fss because 1) success rate and 2) all the possible locations to bid out to. moving isnt really the issue for me. it is do i want to quit my current job to pursue this because i do enjoy my current job.
i am like 99% sure i will accept but i dont want to rush the decision either. it affects the rest of my life. i emailed the hr person with a bunch of questions and am meeting up with some people that work there later this week to talk and tour tower and terminal. but yeah most likely accepting my seat.
