Jazz interview at 700 hours!

[ellinas]

Hello aviators.

Talked to an old friend and was told they got a call for an interview at 700 hours total time! Have the hiring times dropped that low? Wow! Don’t know if anyone else got such a call but boy they must be desperate.

Fly safe !

My daughter was told by a friend in HR to apply as soon as she had 500hrs.

[wing'd]

personally know 2x 500hr class IV instructors


Right now they’re hiring like crazy. I don’t even think sim evals/interview matters

Do you think this hiring frenzy will last another year ?

Why are people still clamoring to go here?!? It's like racing to get onboard the Titanic as fast as you can. The PML carrot has rotten on its dangling string and you're probably taking a paycut for the opportunity. If AC is your end goal, there are muuuuch faster ways to get there than the trap that is Jazz. If you leave Jazz to go somewhere in an attempt to speed up the AC step, I'll bet my hat that you're blacklisted at AC.

How much experience is left at jazz these days? Are the holes in the swiss cheese not lining up fast enough for management?

I'd rather see 500 hour FO's at Jazz, than at northern 705 ops, just my opinion.

I thought pre-covid their rock bottom was 750TT with 250 multi time.

Even with the horrible pay, rather go Jazz than any 703 operators in the middle of nowhere, not like they are paying more for FO.

Except that you will earn more at a 703, get PIC time and probably make memories to last a lifetime. I have more cool stories from 1.5 years in the Arctic than 18 years of airline flying.

When I was 19 I would have killed to get into Jazz at 750 hrs. Now I'm glad I didn't.

I guess Jazz can keep dropping their requirements for FOs but I have no idea how they will continue to hold onto/hire new captains.

I just had a jazz recruiter approach my wife in the maternity ward asking if our little one was ready for his interview. She was in a big rush to get to the orphanage after this quick stop at the maternity ward.

I'm one of those that did that. Left Express after waiting in the pool, reapplied OTS, I am now at AC.

I'll DM you my address so you can ship me your hat

Touche. Well there you have it! Was that recently? I feel like a lot of people are staying at Jazz out of fear of being blacklisted. Just another psychological mind game managements play on us.

I need to replace my hat anyway

So I will have to admit, this was quite a few years ago that I'd left Express and it might have been a different Express carrier before recently getting hired at AC. I mean I wasn't lying, I just really wanted the hat

In all seriousness though speaking to your psychological mind game comment, when I left Express my managers warned me once you leave the family, there's no hope for AC in the future as they look down on that (including sideways express carrier moves). I left anyway and clearly they were wrong. So there's merit to your comment but I don't believe there's merit to their threats.

I call bullshit on this so called "blacklist." With the state of the industry, specifically the ongoing pilot shortage, Air Canada is not in a position to turn away experienced applicants.
