New hire bids

[PostmasterGeneral]

With YVR seeming to be the base for new hires lately and with the high cost of living there what options are there for commuting/crashpads ? And how fast can one bid out the base ?

Where are you going to bid to? You’re type frozen for at least two years. YYC is too senior, Toronto is even more expensive, and Montreal is about on par with YVR. Maybe cheaper accommodations but cost of living is way higher in UL.

GS's filled up to Christmas from what I am told, mostly GGN for the intake.

Any word on the date of the December course(s), or January?

I have not heard anything. All I know is all is filled up to pretty much end of December. Without knowing the facts, I doubt Jan. has been filled yet.

The transfer of flying is scheduled to be completed by the end of February(from memory), while this happens so will the transfer of pilots. I suspect the courses will be mostly GGN until then.

Flyguyry were you in the pool and if not when did you do your medical. I did my online interview last week of July, Sim September 5, got an email for reference check the following day and did my medical on Sept 13. After that it’s been radio silence.
1100 hours with 250 PIC and ATPL exams written, 750 multi . is this normal? If I was getting PFOd, shouldn’t they have done it by now ?

It is normal. The recruiting department is extremely busy. If you have not heard anything it is a good sign. Give it time.

yeah I was in the pool about the same time as you with similar hours. definitely give it time, what I did was just keep bugging them with emails once every couple weeks, maybe they just had enough of my emails and gave me the job ahah. i hear they have ground schools scheduled for Jan and Feb so like I said just give it time and hopefully you’ll hear back:)

Thanks for the reply guys and congrats on the GS Flyguyry, I’m not in the pool or atleast I don’t think so. Didn’t get a call or email saying I was and didn’t wanna bother HR cause I know how busy it is but I think It’s been long so I’ll shoot them email and follow up!

Have calls already been going out for JAN?

[link821]

Anyone been called for Jan yet?

[Stayfly121]

Nope. Got into the pool early November. Still waiting for a GS date.

[windows94]

I got in end of September and I'm still waiting as well. I know another person who got in early October who is also waiting.
My guess is there is a bit of a slow down of OTS with GGN filling most of the spots...

[flyguyry]

Does anyone know what the November courses got in terms of bases/equipment?

YVR Qs

[KenoraPilot]

Nov 25 GS was RJ and 1 DH8 across the system (all GGN pilots)

Me thinks there will be lots of hopefuls doing laps in the "pool" this winter/spring...
