Yeah I re-read and realized what you meant. All good.

I know quoting U.S scales is a waste of time, but I'd be more impressed at those numbers if 1st year 737 Captains at Delta weren't earning the same. And they're like 5 years in on their seniority.

I've come to the realization that Canada may not ever peak at those valuations (one because it takes our markets so long to react to an upward trend that by the time we react, we're in a recession and tapering back), but it'd be nice to see the initial and midsection of an AC pilots career end up a little fatter instead of talking about theoretical 777 Captain wages that not everyone will be capable of managing or willing to aspire to.

Oh, you’re preaching to the choir here. But that would be a topic for a different thread.

Woah!! Be nice folks.

Thanks for all the replies.

About me - I am an expat and am flying in a different country, yes. I am moving back to Canada to be with family.

I believe AC or WS is probably the better airlines for the long run and that’s why I applied. Having said that I am keeping my options open. I have worked for both LCC and full service airline. To be honest, I will like to retire in a full service airline flying the wide body. Loosing few bucks for few years to better life in long run is okay.

It’s better to be in a position to choose the best offer than having none. Hence, I applied at AC.

Wishing you all good luck!

I had mine mid jan. Does anyone know how long does it actually take to hear from them? They said something about 6-12 weeks, but I would like to hear from other people that are in the process too?

In regards of the interview, no preparation needed except recall in your mind situations you had while flying that could work as examples.

Probably the same ones asked at any pilot interview.

Honestly guys I wouldn’t sweat it so hard, it was actually one of the easier interviews i’ve done in my career.

Only lasted like 35 mins I think.

Tell us about urself, why you wanna work here, have u failed anything.

0 surprises and very straight forward.
