Interview Process

There was no hiring for about two years, things will start moving along again. If you're working at a small dysfunctional airline you're about to find out that big ones are not any better.

Been working at a big one... seems like they all are, it's a matter of who is least dysfunctional in the end...

It varies depending on who's running the show and employees below and mainly if it's a period of growth or financial stress.

In the end it should be about who does what kind of flying and how it works with your life aspirations.

At TS almost everyone is happy and the work is pretty varied and junior pilots get some pretty good pairings early on.

I completely agree with you, and I have some friends at TS that have nothing but good things to say overall. End of the day, I care about a good working environment that can offer me a decent lifestyle while also paying a liveable wage, and TS does fit those needs

Those are the bare minimum requirements to apply. It depends on how you stack amongst other applicants. How many hours do you have?

How do you even know if your application has been archived?
Mine says it's on "Review" I also have an internal reference.

[capav]

I have applied with internal reference. I also have a 1000 hours on 737s. Total time 2000 hours.

I found out that it's archived when I log in to smart recruiters.
Plus my internal reference checked his portal and it says not proceeding forward (translated from French.

Min qualifications are just that… the minimums.

It’s not a guarantee to get hired. Archived probably just means you got put in a pile for the future.

Yeah I get that. But I have more than the min qualifications (1000 hours on 737s) and so I ask the question. Just looking for insight

Any update on this archived business? What does it mean?

[capav]

No clue!

[GI_Joey]

I’ve had the same issue. More than 4000h.

Application does not even show « in review » it jumps from « new » to « archived » in a couple days every time.

My guess is something in their AI pre selection does not let my application go forward to a human but I have no ideas why since I meet all the requirements.

Worth noting: back in 2024 they had reviews my application and got back to me saying : « we like your profile and will consider you again once you got more ifr time » ( used to be a bush pilot) which I have now. I even have my atpl.

Not sure what’s going on, but if anybody knows how to get an application actually looked at, please share the tricks.
