Both classes in Jan are full and we are filling February with a healthy pool. 2017 was huge for hiring with north of 160 new hires at WJ and north of 240 at Encore....crazy year and unprecedented for us.
The wild card as all know, is how swoop will come into play for 2018 imho.
Respectfully,

Hi Dave,
What do the hiring numbers look like in 2018 for WJ and Encore?
If DaveP is in the dark on the Swoop hiring plan he could have also been in the the dark on a future Link flow through to Westjet agreement. These are things that would be discussed, considered, planned, negotiated, by higher level managers.

Meaning they would secretly discuss this with PASCO management and hope that PASCO would (fingers crossed) keep the information confidential, and not use it as a tool to recruit pilots. RRRRIIIGGHHTTTT...
You can get a great deal on aluminum foil at Costco I'm told, if you're running low.

Oh God, now I have to agree with NewCommercialPilot. What has this world come to?
I don't think anybody knows what the Swoop hiring plan is. I'm sure everyone involved knows what they want the plan to be, but how it actually plays out is anybody's guess.
Hi Victory
NCP is correct. There is no conspiracy there. I was in fact, working on the actual document (non flow) at the time the Pasco QnA surfaced and it had gone back n forth a bit already. There was never anything around Direct flow in that document. Hopefully that information snuffs that rumour for good!
As for the hiring numbers informer, I would hate to give you an inaccurate number at this time with all the balls up in the air. I’ll know a lot more in a month or two but it’s safe to say we will see 37 block growth and uptake for the 87 in second half for starters.
Encore is running two courses of 10 per month until I hear differently from them.
Cheers
Dave
I don't think they mentioned flow did they? The wording I heard was preferential interview. I refuse to believe they made that up out of thin air. I also don't think there is something necessarily wrong with Westjet Link pilots getting preferential interviews but I can understand why Encore pilots wouldn't like it.
