2018 Pilot Hiring

[gravelpapi]

Historically what is Sunwing's typical seasons for hiring ?

Anyone have any insight into 2018 hiring? other than that they plan to hire "indefinitely for the next 12 to 24 months"

Does anyone know if they have hired below their 3000 TT ATPL threshold? If so what sort of experience did they have (excluding the cadets) ?

Can anyone confirm that their pilot group is unionized under Unifor?

Does Sunwing have a internal matrix time when it comes to upgrade? if so what is it?

Hired 42 around spring and around another 50 this fall. Interviews and hire are still going on. I'm not sure how many in 2018. I'm guessing around the same.

Sunwing usually hires in the months leading up to the winter season including all the way back to spring so that they are not overwhelmed when the winter schedules are in full effect.

Pilots are unionized. Unifor 7378

Upgrades are seniority and merit base and require 5,000 hours TT with 2,000 hours on jet of 100,000lbs or more. For every year at Sunwing you can reduce the time by 500 hours not to exceed 1,000 hours.

Do they still hire alcoholics? ... just asking for a friend.

[richardhead]

Not sure about that. But if they were to start hiring f§£¥ing idiots I’m sure you’d be at the front of the line.

[JoeyBarton]

Have the calls gone out for December interviews yet?

Thanks, it's good to know you personally experienced that. See you soon!

They are hiring via internal recommend.

[gravelpapi]

I can confirm for the time being hiring is done via internal recommend.

As per the internal memo; Interviews are being conducted this week and next week. First 2 weeks of December 2017.

I am legitimately curious why anyone sitting 737 WJ would interview at Sunwing?

[nohojob]

For a quicker upgrade ?

[GATRKGA]

Oh ok.

I'd be curious how a career at WJ compares to a career at Sunwing?

[BE20 Driver]

Upgrades at WS are sitting around 7 years time on the one list. They have not budged much over the last 4-5 years since Encore started up. As per a recent communication, no upgrades are planned at the teal team until late next year.

I have a buddy at Sunwing. He figures upgrades are 2-3 years tops and dropping quickly. He likes to call Sunwing Canada's best kept secret. I think the pay package is probably better at WestJet but if you can get into a left seat in half the time, you'd certainly make up some of the difference.

Something to consider as well as far as money goes is the ability to deploy.
You can make an extra 25k to 40k during the Summer, all perdiem not taxable.

I don't know if it is as good as WJ paycheck but it certainly helps.

Seriously? That would be enough to get me to consider applying. I looked at the pay scales in the contract and they were definitely lower than WS. Considering that this is all untaxable money, that would seriously close the gap.

[nohojob]

It is serious. Gravelpapi has published the link for the cba earlier (it is public of course). You also have the winter deployment, less lucrative but still an extra 1500 $ a month of perdiem plus apt and car provided.

What is missing is some of the Summer deployment since we have an lou.

Did I just see Sunwing has a bond? Seriously at this level?

[BE20 Driver]

Too many skippers going to China?

There is no bond as far as I know unless they just started.
