Re: Calls for upcming courses
So just to clarify, all the hiring for the summer 2012 has been done already?

Re: Calls for upcming courses
To clarify, and all this is subject to change. the last hiring guesstimate was as high as 40 for 2012. There is a groundschool in now of 6. 40-6=34, so there's potentially another 34 to be hired this year. Next groundschool is tentatively scheduled for July. Usually there's 8 per class so figure courses in July, August, September and October like Dave said. There's also a pool but I have no idea how deep it is. Dave also said in this thread that they're pulling resumes and interviewing between now and June for those courses so it doesn't sound like all the seats have been filled.
They're probably gonna start interviewing for Q400's soon too. Stir stir...

Re: Calls for upcming courses
Hi all,
No calls have been made for the summer courses.
The good news is we may be adding two more courses - one in April and one in May. These courses won't be set in stone until early Feb.
I will let you know when I know. As for now, interviews are continuing and in fact we will be adding dates at the end of January and in Feb. in anticipation.
Cheers,
Dave.

@ Lateralus and all;
I think I see a trend in the hiring this year. Its an upward and increasing trend. But that's just a feeling wrt Jan LF numbers at both big shops.
Folks, pay attention to the conference call tomorrow for more important news! It might be the begining of a new era, and then I'm pretty sure DP is gonna be 'kinda busy'.
all the best

Re: Calls for upcming courses
Thanks for the info Fundi. I would imagine that the important news tomorrow would be regarding the regional? Obviously there will be lots of hiring going on there, are you talking about the 737 as well? That is what I am interested in.fundi wrote:@ Lateralus and all;

Re: Calls for upcming courses
Latest update shows new hire courses in April, July, August, September, and maybe October. Class size of between 6 and 8. Standby for further. We get a crew planning update from DaveP monthly, sometimes bi-monthly, and the target seems to be in a constant state of motion. Just added two new runs to Chicago from YYC and YVR starting in May in addition to the 3 other new destinations announced last week. And wouldn't be surprised if there's more to come with us operating on behalf of our Code Share Partners. Utilization seems to be going up, and two more tails (I think) this year. Fundi may be on the mark with the upward trending forecast.
Re: Calls for upcming courses
Any updates on planned course dates for this year? Anyone heard confirmation/set date for the April course?
Re: Calls for upcming courses
Hi Guys,
I'm just away on holidays here and back on the 12th.
The calls for April 9th (class of 8 ) will go out the week when I return.
Cheers!

Re: Calls for upcming courses
When there is talk about calls going out for upcoming courses, does this mean that people that have already interviewed will get called or does this mean that initial calls will go out to people to interview for these courses?
Thanks
Thanks
Re: Calls for upcming courses
When did the guys interview for the April course? I think I recall there were interview in January?
Re: Calls for upcming courses
Hi,
When we say calls are going out for the April course, that would be the official job offer for the course. These would be individuals that have interviewed and are in the pool.
Calls for interviews are ongoing.
I do believe the newest members to the pool started interviewing in January.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hey Dave,
Just wondering where I would fit into the matrix, 705 captain on atr42, 5000 hrs, 1400mpic, level d sim /fms with a college diploma.
Been actively applying for 3 yrs now, would love to make that final step.
Thanks for taking the time (on your vacation no less),
Cheers

Re: Calls for upcming courses
Hey onespeed and others, just curious why your questions couldn't wait until the 12th, It seems to me DaveP probably put the date of his return so that maybe he could have a break from work. I believe this is part work for Dave and maybe we as pilots should have some respect for boundaries. I could be wrong but judging by how Dave is on here, I don't think he'd say anything anyway.
