2014 Postings

Has anyone received a call / interview for either of the two new postings that came out last month? (mainline, and YYZ Encore?)

Hi,
We have been calling since the postings were launched.
Yesterday however, the WestJet mainline posting was closed. I originally anticipated it being open for 3 months, but due to the large number of applicants and frankly very few positions (56 new hires for WJ) it was closed.
As advertised, Encore flow starts in April and will ramp up flow for the following courses. That takes away from the original 56 off the street new hires for WestJet.
The Encore posting remains open and infact the hiring numbers just went up there in order to facilitate the flow through and growth. The last information i had was - we are looking for a total of 130-140 new hires for Encore in 2014.

I'm on holidays this week, but I will post more up to date info when I get back next week.

Cheers

Has anyone been called yet for March GS at Mainline? Or Does anyone know the GS dates for Mainline in March? One GS or two?
Thank you in advance.

I'm calling for the first course Monday or Tuesday next week.
There are 2 courses in March.
Cheers

Anyone able to comment if candidates have been called for the second march course yet?

I would imagine that they have been called. I was given a months notice when I was called and it seems to be standard.

Good Luck
