Talked to some instructors the other day and they told me they are still doing sim evals and we are still short of FOs, despite the loss of TC.

Most of the time the offer call comes about a month before the class start date, from reports I've heard. Mine was a bit closer than that, but was still almost 3 weeks ahead. Six weeks had passed before that (between the medical/criminal check and the offer call).

Surprising as we can barely crew the airplanes we have now....

Not to burst anyone's dreams, but just got this:

"When we start hiring again, we will be in contact with you. At this time, we do not know when this will take place. "

Don't worry. When WJR starts hiring Jazz will need lots of new pilots to cover attrition.

I talked to an HR girl today and she said that they will be doing more interviews in June but there is no plan for any ground schools in the near future. They are just building up a pool of candidates.

No, I believe it was between 60 and 80

Question: is there a requirement to grant base changes, as per the standing bid, before offering ground school candidates their choice of bases? Or is it not looked at until the equipment bid rolls by?

Current pilots have priority over new groundschools. Prior to revealing to the new hires what is available, they "offer" those positions to the current pilots. If the current pilot is based in YYZ and they want YYC, they will be awarded this before it is offered to the new hires.
