Lynx Air

[final28]

It’s been over a month since Lynx first posted for pilots. Has there been any callbacks, interviews, hiring?
Does anyone know when they plan to start operating? Or are they doing like Canada Jetlines, starting with wet leases?

I know one guy who lives in YYC and was at AJX on their fantastic contract (especially for commuters) back 20 months ago. Once the music stopped he was doing like everyone else (McJobs) since the Japanese sent all the foreigners home in spring 2020. Check out PPRUNE for further reading. He is now at Lynx as a captain, so they did hire in the recent past . How many? I have no idea, but they did hire. I can ask for details but since he's not in their ops department his info may be speculative. PM if you want more info.

I heard that 2 DECs were hired from CX.

I heard that 2 DECs were hired from CX.

They may well have worked at CX up until recently, but given the current situation over there, “rescued from” is probably more apt than “hired from”.

Any updates on hiring and ground school dates?

I've got an interview coming up. Have the pay scales adjusted to match market rates or are they still lagging?
TIA

Still on day rate for now, should take a couple month to implement the hourly rates.

Be advised, they’ll hire mostly for Toronto now.

Sorry a day rate.

So you depart YYZ to YVR and you’re getting the same pay as a YYC turn?? How does the credit system work, or are you just one X amount of days a month?

Any info on pay scales, schedules, rosters, upgrade time and requirements? thanks
