Jazz college grad new hires?f

[ng78]

Has Jazz hired anymore low time college grads since they started the program a few years ago? I've heard different answers and was just curious. If the economy doesn't tank and Air Canada hires as many pilots as forecast, perhaps this isn't a bad solution for a company like Jazz.

[merlin]

Yes they are still hiring college kids, and will continue to. From a strictly company perspective the college kids work great. They pretty much can't leave, so are a good investment, and they dont complain about pay and working conditions.

[ng78]

Fair enough. Sounds like it's a win-win! Unless you have some hours and are trying to get into Jazz

I didn't think they were taking college grads at the time being??

Hey mig you still got the number to that truck driving school??? I think I'm gonna need that.

3 classes of college have been hired and the program ended. There are no plans for the foreseeable future to continue the program...but you never know.

I heard from a reliable source that there will be college new hires in the OCT 25 ground school.

[merlin]

Why do you guys keep saying that they arent hiring college kids anymore. They clearly are, and there is no reason for them to stop. It really is a good program as far as the company is concerned.

I second this.

[SuperchargedRS]

Of course they do, but only those lucky girls and boys who find the magic golden ticket in their meal plan!!

Don't screw around with me, Maverick. You're one hell of an instinctive pilot. Maybe too good. I'd like to bust your butt but I can't. I got another problem here. I gotta send somebody from this squadron to YYC. I gotta do something here, I still can't believe it. I gotta give you your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best. You two characters, are going to Jazz. For five weeks, you'll be flying against the best paid Dash 8-100 pilots in the world. You were number two, Cougar was number one. Cougar lost it-turned in his wings. You guys are number one. But you remember one thing: if you screw up just this [pinches fingers for emphasis] much, you'll be flying a Cessna Caravan full of Doritos and Orange Crush out of Pickle Lake!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAH


Hey BingBong....no I don't man, but my old CFI told us that if we never make it in this career, Walmart will always be hiring!!

[ToolShed]

... and they dont complain about pay and working conditions.

...lol

Then they learned nothing in their "pilot program" about being a real hard working pilot!

I guess they can keep quoting "Top Gun" to pay their bills!

[myturntoland]

Are the "college grads" in the hold pool like the non top gun aviators? Or are they put in ground schools when the company wants to put them in? Like Oct 3rd and Oct 24th?

Haha, I receive no monetary compensation for quoting Top Gun.

[YQLRookie]

Haha, some nice Top Gun quotation there Maverick. On the subject of the college grad hiring, can anybody give me a brief explanation of it? How does the program work?

[BingBong]

Sounds about right

[BingBong]

Sounds about right

No I'm pretty sure this is how it works

[AutoPilot Off]

That lucky charm will hurt at some point.

[BingBong]

probably around the time when they can't go captain and need to rent an airplane again.....now how do I use this E6B again??? (dont ask me cause i sure as hell don't know..lol)
