Re: 2012 Ground School
Phone call: January 25.
Interview: January 31.
Sim Eval: February 18. (CAE at YYZ).
PFO: February 21.
ATPL, University degree, Canadian Forces Reserves 3 yrs infantry. 1960 TT, 1275 PIC, 750 Multi, 240 Multi PIC, 480 SIC King Air.
I thought the sim went well, just a bit of trouble with power and altitude initially, but once corrected, sim went well. Don't know what they are looking for.
Good luck to all!

Re: 2012 Ground School
Any idea how many ground schools will be scheduled for the remainder of the year?
Re: 2012 Ground School
Not sure. Supposed to hire 100 pilots this year.
Anyone know what the March groundschool guys got for aircraft types and what base. Any RJ?

Re: 2012 Ground School
What is Jazz looking for? I hear guys getting hired with as much time as 3 and 4k and then we have 1000 to 1500 hour guys? Some myths indicate that they are looking for multi time which can't be correct when we are all placed in the same line of seniority as the 250 hour college grad?
Cheers!

Re: 2012 Ground School
In my Jan. 30th class, except for a college grad everyone had over 3000 hrs TT and at least 1000+ multi-turbine PIC/SIC on mostly >12,500 (Metro's, Dash-8, Saab, Twin Otter, B350) if that helps.loopa wrote:What is Jazz looking for?

Better than AC's starting salary, plus better perdiems, and better reserve scheduling rules!

Re: 2012 Ground School
Probably a mix. I believe there was a Kiwi 767 guy doing an interview with 6000+ hours and someone with even more hours and Boeing time. No doubt mixed in with King Air guys.loopa wrote:What is Jazz looking for? I hear guys getting hired with as much time as 3 and 4k and then we have 1000 to 1500 hour guys?

short term gain for a long term loss.Canoehead wrote:+1Inverted2 wrote:Better than AC's starting salary, plus better perdiems, and better reserve scheduling rules!
But nowadays nothing is really sure, I could even find myself applying there one day.
lets wait for the crude to reach 130$, then we'll see.
Re: 2012 Ground School
Guess that depends on what one views as the 'total' compensation, and if that is or is not important. Long term loss according to who/what? If dollars in the account at the end of it all is the number one priority, then absolutely AC (if it still exists as-is) is the place to be.
For me (not that anyone asked), schedule, contract and work environment all play into lifestyle (along with a pretty good paycheck), and I'd rather be here than there. That's not to say I'm throwing stones- we work in our own 'glass house' so-to-speak. But again, just my opinion.
And yes, things are going to change- $130 oil is only part of it.
