How much time passed between your post-sim phone call and Jan 6th?

It was the day after I believe, so it was really fast. I'm in the current groundschool that started on Jan. 30th.

So what were the aircraft positions for your groundschool and what bases?

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!

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! 8)

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.

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

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.

short term gain for a long term loss.
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.

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.

Funny guy!! The last contract was a big improvement especially for FOs. When oil is $130 I think anyone flying turboprops will be better off. Don't kid yourself everyone will be hurting. Most folks at Jazz are happy to be here. Better to make less but be happy than richer and miserable.

There is also the background check too. But that comes after the medical and usually around the time of your reference check.



In general the background check is last because they dont want to spook your current employer unless they've had you jump through all the hoops first.

I would agree that you should have a long hard look at your references, 200hr.

Well all i can think of is that at the time I only had 2200 hours and no ATPL. Did the background check, which I have had many for medevac jobs so can't see a problem there and the references they talked to all claimed to have given good references. I dunno I feel frustrated and defeated by this one.



Do you have your ATPL writtens completed?

My sim partner was around your time and he had only his commercial, but they were REAL INTERESTED in seeing his completed exam report through each time we did an evaluation in IPT and Sim.
