I've heard all types will get the new paint except the Dash 8-100s. In terms of the rate act which it'll happen, I'm guessing whenever they are going in for heavy checks.

I seem to recall there being a choice, but if you say you are fluent in French, you had to answer at least 1 french question.

It's been a while since I completed the interview, so my recollection of events may be foggy.

Looks like courses planned for the next little while:

04 Dec: 32 new hires

08 Jan: 40

29 Jan: 40

19 Feb: 40

12 Mar: 30

02 Apr: 30

23 Apr: 30

14 May: 30

I assume more after this but no firm plans. Looks like a solid plan for 272 new hires before summer

I am wondering, the people who are being called for the January course, when did you/they apply? When did you interview?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

The last time the website was open for OTS hiring, within about a month, people received the "good email" or the "bad email".
Are they using the same system? Doesn't seem to be the case this time. Do you guys have any information regarding this?

Cheers
