Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool
Hey @daveP question for you.
I just applied at Encore and have 2500 hrs with ATPL tests written and ATPL submitted to TC. Because I do not have the actual license in hand will that affect me getting an interview?
Thanks!

Hello!
Should be good to go! I suspect you applied to the flightpath posting?

Hi guys!
Just an FYI we have opened the mainline 737 FO posting for 30 days (Yyz based). As well, for our little brother WJ encore still has all three postings open - flightpath for pilots without an ATPL(1000-1500hrs), FO Q400 YYC and YYZ based and direct entry captains for the Q400 YYZ and now some direct entry YYC base as well.
Cheers

Hello everyone,
Does Wesjet accept foreign pilots with work permit visa or just with the permanent resident visa?
Best Regards!

Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool
Anyone having issues with applying to the mainline job ad? I'm all set to upload my resume, but ran into Question #38, asking about having interviewed at WJ or Encore in the past 12 months, yet there's no "Yes" or "No" buttons showing beneath. I kept trying to reload the page, but it made no difference. Thanks.

Are you using an iPad?
I would try deleting cookies and browser history, some websites are not completely compatible with apple.
If not an iPad, couldn't hurt to try the same thing

Yes! Same issue. Tried from 2 different laptops using Firefox, Chrome and IE.
Heads up WJ, looks like folks can't apply because question 38 seems to be broken.

Hi Fellas,
It should be fixed there now.
Thanks for the heads up!

Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool
Hello,
WJ calls going out this week (it will be a class of 10 with 60% flow). WJE ones have been going out and I believe there are only two spots left to fill on that (course of 12)
Cheers

Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool
Hello,
I have enough in the current pool to finish the 2017 classes and we continue to interview about two dozen more. That will be it for WJ interviews for 2017. 2018 initial hiring numbers typically start coming around September.
Cheers!

Unless of course you decide to randomly disband the pool... Never done that before

Sounds like the pool might end up with a few more pilots than available spots... How likely is it that some of the pooled pilots will not get a call this year? Is this something that commonly happens?
Thanks!
Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool
Hi there,
We always run heavy on pool sizes due to unforeseen things like additional classes or an increase on the originally planned class size. Typically we start new classes again in January which we will utilize those successfully interviewed. I can't see the WJ posting opening again until the late fall at its earliest. Encore will remain open for both DE Captain and FO (regular and flightpath) to facilitate growth and flow.
Cheers

Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool
Anyone have their 'status date' change after the 'status' already showed "in progress"? If so, any idea what it means?
Re: WestJet Mainline/Encore Hiring pool
Hi everyone,
Just curious if anyone knows how many classes mainline is planning on putting on for the rest year?
