2016 Sunwing Interviews

[Canada340]

Anybody get a call from Sunwing for an interview this June?

[tbaylx]

The calls have been going out. I believe all internal recommends

[Canada340]

Yeah I was surprised to get the call even though there wasn't a posting yet...

Did know they were hiring, there's no posting. Are they hiring only from internal reference ?

[Canada340]

Must be. Only people I know with interviews are those with solid internal references. Especially since there's no posting

There was an internal email months ago asking for recommendations of potential candidates. I believe they are planning to hire everyone from that pool this year, hence there hasn't been a posting since they have enough internal recommends.

That could change if they require additional people for the winter season beyond what they currently have in the internal pool.

I got the phone call 3 weeks ago, my interview is next week. I confirm that I had an internal reference and I know another pilot in the same situation as me. I'm really exited ! Sunwing Airline is most likely the best gig for a guy like me. Solid wealthy company with opportunity to be base in so many different places every year !

[Flyfisher21]

Any Sunwing guys in the know as to how many sunwing is hiring this year ? and if there are still more phone calls to go out to internal referrals for interviews? Or has everyone who will be contacted already been called.

50-60 pilots. Classes Aug, Sept, Oct. They conducted interviews last week. I'm not sure if they're done.

I was told they stopped interviews end of July. Anyone know if they have started calling chosen candidates?

[Tobelino]

...sorry, end of June...

[Flysafe21]

Anyone got a call for ground school yet ?

I was interviewed beginning of June 2015, and received the offer mid August 2015 for a start date September 1st 15.
Just to say that it could take a while. Good luck !

[Tobelino]

I'm also dying here Can't wait to find out and plan ahead if I am selected. Anyway, good luck to you Flysafe21, hope it works out for you

[Flysafe21]

I heard that SW may have lost a bid on the USA to Caribbean and Mexico contract and therefore they would not be hiring as many pilots as planned. Not a good news but it might just be rumours.

[rudder]

All of the recent announcements about summer packages for Vacation Express have been air portion by carriers other than Sunwing. Not sure what is going on.

[DutyFree]

Vac Exp is a part of the SW pyramid, if they went with another airline for the lift it was a strategic decision.

[Tobelino]

For what it's worth, I heard that the hiring process is on hold... Not sure why... Can anyone shed light on this matter?
