Re: 2012 Ground School
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.

Re: 2012 Ground School
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).baron_dude wrote:Any Idea when calls go out for the ground school?

Cool thanks for the info. Any idea what bases may be available this GS for new hires?
Re: 2012 Ground School

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.

Re: 2012 Ground School
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.
Re: 2012 Ground School
Next fall maybe ? They were talking about a 100 pilots, did they hire that many already ?

Re: 2012 Ground School
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?

Re: 2012 Ground School
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.
