Who's all waiting for a training offer?
So the Wednesday Toronto ACC tour was pretty sweet. Now we just sit back and wait for a new training course to start...
We were told at the tour that the most recent VFR training class had just wrapped up (the day before the tour, actually). I'd heard that there was a VFR class starting in November and another one in the spring sometime around March/April. I tried calling the national recruitment line and they couldn't confirm anything, though the person on the line seemed to think that a Toronto VFR class in March seemed likely.
So...given that medicals and background checks take time to perform, getting scheduled for the November class (if it exists) seems to be out of the question. I guess we're going to have to wait until the spring.
So, who else is waiting? How big do you think the pool of candidates is? I'm really hoping it is limited to just the group I was in Wednesday plus the Thursday tour group. That would make it about 12 people total for both VFR and IFR, so about 6 each...if that's the total pool, it would be awesome. I'm really hoping they wouldn't bother to give a 3 hour tour unless they were actually planning on using us
So who else went on that tour? Do you guys have any information?

I'm also waiting for YYZ VFR but you knew that already...
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
No one else, huh?
Well Alex, I guess we're in pretty good shape then.

That or the rest of the applicants don't google / forum search. I'm just praying for a November start.
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
I think I PM'd you, but when I called recruitment last week they told me the November VFR course was filled, and next one would be "winter" which I'm interpreting at this point to be Feb/March, taking into account the 4-5 months' notice.

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
I'm waiting on either YVR or YWG. Sounds like March-ish for either of them.
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Damn, damn, DAMN. Oh well. Keeping my fingers crossed 'till then I guess. Maybe we'll get lucky and training offer packages will arrive around mid-November.
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
If it is Feb/March, training offers could go out anytime now...
Floatyghost: two regions? I thought they recruited and hired regionally now, how are you up for two regions? I'm curious.

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Keep your fingers crossed...I certainly am.
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Sooooo... Any other VFR YYZers get calls yet?
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Haha...ok no news is good news (this time).
The calls will be going out Monday. I've been on pins & needles all day for nothing! Haha you could cut the tension in my apartment with a knife right now.

Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
email sent, voicemail left, let's hope in the miracle.
Re: Who's all waiting for a training offer?
Nope, calls went out yesterday.
