Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
OTS hires have been more or less limited to pilots leaving the RCAF or ExPats with wide body experience.
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
And during the last year a significant number of pilots from Westjet and Encore.
Welcome to Redneck Airlines. We might not get you there but we'll get you close!

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Are they still hiring pilots off Dash 8s from "705 lite" companies; Perimeter, PAL, CMA, etc.?
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Here's a rough tally for AC's 2019 Hiring
226 - Jazz
39 - GGN
27 - SR
26 - RCAF
18 - Sunwing
15 - Porter
26 - Westjet
38 - Encore
8 - Swoop
11 - Cathay Pacific
9 - EVA/Emirates//Air India/ Thomas Cook
3 - CargoJet
9 - Flair
10 - Cdn North/ 1st Air/ Air North
13 - Corporate (Although some might have been 705'lite Ops?)
3 - Transport Canada/Bombardier
8 - Pasco/Bearskin/Calm Air/EVAS/Sky North
2 - Very unfortunate Air Transat pilots
The hiring at the start of the year was more OTS weighted while the courses running since the end of summer have been mostly from the connectors.

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
That's a total of 491 new hires of which 292 (59%)were from the connectors (Jazz, SR, GGN) leaving only 41% OTS. Any idea what the hiring numbers are going to be like for 2020.TheStig wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 12:36 pm Here's a rough tally for AC's 2019 Hiring

Does that mean only 1 class for Jan and 1 class for Feb?
Any info on class sizes?

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Considering the heavy load on the training department right now from the latest bids, and given it's the new year I wouldn't be surprised if it's just one in January. By spring things will ramp up again as usual.

Why don't you guys lay off the cyber bullying? Was this person's video really so offensive? I didn't see it.
