Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Yes, it's important to separate the the wheat from the chaff in this thread in terms of information from people that have nothing to do with Air Canada. Rumors from their friend's barber's son's neighbor are rarely accurate since everyone puts their own little spin on the story. They mean well but it just muddies the water for what is actually happening.

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Man, 2 months between PIT and sim would be nice. You could know the SOP's inside and out. You're on flat pay anyways.

Going from a turbo prop to an A320 you almost need that much time... no complaints from me!98 Corolla wrote: ↑Sun May 06, 2018 8:18 am Man, 2 months between PIT and sim would be nice. You could know the SOP's inside and out. You're on flat pay anyways.

I've seen a bunch of new hires are heading over there on their initial.
Pretty sweet way to get started at AC. 4 weeks of schweinshaxe, schnitzel, and steins.
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Yup, off to Berlin next month, aside from a few exceptions it looks like all the initial courses are in Berlin. Should be fun!altiplano wrote: ↑Sun May 06, 2018 8:51 amDid you get one of the Berlin courses?landsky wrote: ↑Sun May 06, 2018 8:25 amGoing from a turbo prop to an A320 you almost need that much time... no complaints from me!98 Corolla wrote: ↑Sun May 06, 2018 8:18 am Man, 2 months between PIT and sim would be nice.

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Any updates on the latest hiring rumors, I have heard from several different credible sources that things are going to slow down for the summer, but also that things always change. Any speculative or educated guesses out there want to chime in?
Will they continue to interview throughout the summer or does that slow down as well?
Thanks

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
From in person to job offer was 8 weeks for me, late Feb to April of this year. But from my initial application to hired was 18 months (express pilot). But some guys where a lot faster.
Welcome to Redneck Airlines. We might not get you there but we'll get you close!
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
I've heard the last class before summer break was over 90% Express pilots. Not sure if that reflects their new hiring process.
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
I don't get it, everyone seems to at least get a call from AC and I don't. I work for a major airline in Canada, have 3500h, 737 FO time, 1000 pic time and 2 of my friends gave me references. I've been updating my application for the last 12 months, no calls yet

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Been there too... I had been applying for years... watched my previous FOs get hired, guys with less time, fewer years in, less command time, small aircraft experience only...matc wrote: ↑Tue May 15, 2018 7:36 am I don't get it, everyone seems to at least get a call from AC and I don't.

I was wondering if my resume was in the wrong format or the cover letter font was a bad choice or something...
Strange enough, I reworked my uploaded resume and was given an interview about a month later.
Key words? Format worked better for the auto-detect? I don't know... there are thousands of applications... maybe sometimes it's just luck that yours floats to the top.
Keep at it and good luck.
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
They and only they know the hiring secret. I’ve seen people with zero post secondary education get hired, with zero multi left seat time aside from training get hired, and pilots who had accidents due to gross negligence get hired.

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
That's a curious statement. Is that for recent OTS guys/gals? I've heard rumours that if you have 500 hours of 705 Captain experience the post secondary can be waved, but I find that really hard to believe. I've never heard of guys without a degree or aviation diploma getting hired. Can anyone else confirm this?
