Applied 6 weeks ago. Got the email for video interview.
5000+ hrs, jet, aviation college.
Can’t bring myself to work for that wage, so I’m out.
Sooo.... why did you apply in the first place? Not know what the salary was? Hoping it would change overnight? Playing hard to get?
Lost my job thank you for asking.
I applied for many jobs. AC certainly wasn’t top of the list but it was still on the list. Found something more suitable.

I too am wondering if anyone has gotten a call for the upcoming October 22nd Gs? I heard that they are ramping up hiring from express more this fall. Is it all going to be express for that ground school?

I wonder if there will be a bunch of GGN 1900 peeps in the next few classes?
Why would there be? AC doesn't owe them anything. It's not like all the YYZ jazz RJ pilots were magically offered jobs at main line when the YYZ base closed.

As mentioned above I think AC made commitments to some of the 1900 crews who are cadets. As far as my knowledge of the situation goes, every cadet is on the 1900 right now at GGN. Not sure which base or how many are affected by this closure but I'm sure their timeline just sped up considerably.

Perhaps, but I don't see AC hiring them unless they still meet a certain level of experience?
I was told that AC has had some issues recently with training of some Q400 FOs from other regionals. Making the jump from B1900 FO to main line would be a pretty big risk training wise for AC.

They have done it in the past. As recently as August, there are certainly candidates with far more experience than a Q400 who have had issues in training at AC.
The next few weeks will paint a better picture of things to come.
What are some of the lower time experience levels that have gotten into big red over the last 1-2 years? I have no dog in this fight, merely interested in knowing if lower time guys/gals have been getting into mainline and what type of experience they had at the time. I would have guessed AC online takes Captains from the express carriers?
How long to hear back from in person interview? Interviewed end of August and haven’t heard anything. Do they PFO sooner rather than later? Thanks in advance.

I waited 6 1/2 weeks for a PFO. Those who interviewed around the same time as me got the “application on hold” email. They have since been given groundschools. I did my interview in the spring of 2018. I hope this helps, good luck!
