Air Sprint Questions

[frog]

Some companies will never call you back although you meet all their requirements, some will call you back with half of their requirements.

I have applied to Air Sprints for years, never got a call.

Don't sweat it, they may call you one day or not.

They probably will just a day after you got a job offer for a great job !

[Transport Wander]

Have applied to Air Sprint several times in 12 months, but never ever got a reply, even after emailing the DFO and CP directly. Several thousand hours total time plus TC ATP and First class medical. Doesn’t seem like a very professional company.

Perhaps getting a new username would help as anyone that is professional won’t choose such particular username

It’s a user name, on a forum…

Why is that username unprofessional in your opinion?

Go ask someone that speaks Cantonese

Thats kind of funny because I find it hard to believe he didn't know that when selecting the name. And if he didn't and picked it randomly then when someone asked you would think he would research it when someone called him out on it before insinuating it wasn't offensive.

Hi,

We strive to respond to everyone that contacts directly either with questions about working with us or those that are interested and send us their resume. I apologize if we missed you as that does not seem normal, feel free to reach out directly to me again and I will be sure to respond to you.

Kind Regards,

I did (although quickly) look it up and came up empty handed…

AS’s CP just responded to said poster with a supposedly offensive user name… so I would assume he came up empty handed as well? (Or maybe he’s being classy…)

khedrei, since you seem to know what it means… why not enlighten us rather than pontificate?

[DanWEC]

Well, antagonism is a bit of a one-way street. But that's beside the point. Sometimes your vibe just doesn't match what recruitment at a company is looking for, and that's just the way it is. Do you get mad a girl who doesn't want to hook up? I've been incredibly fortunate intowards having an interview shot at every airline in the country, except for one. Never had so much as an automated form response from Cargojet in a 5 year period while meeting all their requirements. Never knew why, and I don't disparage them for it. And hey, I certainly wouldn't change the way things have worked out.

Sorry TeePeeCreeper. I thought it was him that asked why it was offensive. As in the same person who had the name. I didnt pay enough attention to the name of who responded. So I guess my response above didn't make much sense. My fault.

I was able to find it on Google pretty easily. Its basically profanity in Cantonese. Woman's genitalia and a couple other swear words that go with it. I find it odd the names that people choose on a forum where one would seek info about a career.

[Transport Wander]

Hopefully the lesson is learned. It is not simply any profanity but one of the rudest. Whoever speaks Cantonese and understand the culture will know exactly what I mean. Kudos to Air Sprint’s professionalism for even replying to this person!

What is transport wander on an uncorrected gyroscope?
Transport Wander.

When a gyro is moved in an Easterly or Westerly direction the angle between the spin axis and the local meridian will change. Therefore, the gyro will have appeared to wander. This is known as transport wander.

cool thread

Do you have a sub -base in YEG

Hi Buffet,

YEG is a pilot sub-base.

Fly Safe!

Hi Powerlength,

We'll be starting up another major round of interviews next week.

We have also just announced revised pay scales that become effective on the first of May this year. The new scales can be found in our Pilot Career Guide.

Cheers!

Those are reasonable gains, but what is the point of a 25yr pay scale??..

We have pilots with more than 20 years with the company and fall into that part of the pay scale.

Good for those guys...but they would be at the top of any pay scale regardless. You're dodging the question. Why are you stretching it out over a quarter century, especially when you don't honour years of service for upgrading FOs?

No dodging. Just didn’t know what you were asking.

We could have done the scale differently as we have in the past. This format and length is how we could provide the most benefit to our pilot group based on our business model and considering their length of service. Every scenario can be scrutinized when looked at in isolation. For us as a fractional provider, we also look to what is done in the US, where scales are common between 18-30 years.

All in we think this is pretty competitive for 12,500 lb and 40,000 lb jets and considering the overall package.

Thanks

Is the new pay scale inflation protected?

[AirSprint HR]

Is the new pay scale inflation protected?

It is not as our process accounts for it with our updates. You can review the inflation discussion for AirSprint in detail on avcanada. You will see that our pay scale adjustments over time far exceed inflation.

Thanks,

Haha that's a good joke. If you actually wanted to benefit the pilot group you would have an industry standard 10-12yr pay scale that ramped up much more quickly. Would not matter to guys with 20yrs of service because they would immediately be at the top. But this way you stretch it out and compensate your pilots less over a longer period of time. Stop misrepresenting what you're doing.

Also do yourself a big favour and don't bring up the US. Flexjet and Netjets FOs make close to $100k starting with far better working conditions. Their captains average over $200k.

Had a question about Air Sprint IOCC program. How long is the wait before going to the flight line? And the WAWCON for the IOCC guys?

Had a question about Air Sprint IOCC program. How long is the wait before going to the flight line? And the WAWCON for the IOCC guys?

Hello, and sorry for the delayed reply.

The IOCC positions are not currently a flow through to the flight line unfortunately. We do have an OST (Operational Service Team) position that does flow through. We look for 12 months in the OST position and then we move the candidate across to a pilot position. We typically open these positions up to low time pilots who have completed all their required training and licensing. We work closely with Mount Royal University and they are typically the ones who we offer the positions to first. That said, we do have about 8 to 10 OST positions per year to fill, and they don't all come through the MRU program.

Currently the positions are based in CYYC and CYYZ.

Hope that helps,

Cheers!

[YHZCL]

Any Halifax or East Coast based positions for DEC on the Embraer?

Thanks.

Is Airsprint planning on doing any new interviews or hiring soon?
