Thats the plan. I am going to try to make it for my original date. There is nothing booked for me on those dates yet.Canoehead wrote:Just tell them when they call. Jazz HR are very accommodating and will understand your situation if you cannot get away for a particular date.
However, it's in your best interest to get 'on the boat' ASAP as the difference from one interview date to another could potentially mean the difference of 20 seniority numbers (or more).

Re: jazz interview questions
Sounds like a great place to stick around, if they are willing to do that what else are they willing to do? Are they willing to give a bad reference on the phone, to keep you? Are you sure you have to provide a reference from your current employer, I believe they would only ask if they may contact your current employer, and it's okay to say only if I'm being considered, for just this reason.
Can you ask another pilot to cover for you for those days?

Re: jazz interview questions
I'm not sure they actually did it on purpose. I am the only pilot on one aircraft to begin with. If going by my past experiences with my employer I would say they did not. I've been pretty happy, and they've lived up to their word.mbav8r wrote:Sounds like a great place to stick around, if they are willing to do that what else are they willing to do?

The email I received from Jazz stated specifically that one reference must be from my current employer. They also want a stamped logbook which will clue them in that I am interviewing elsewhere.
Re: jazz interview questions
Ah, one night when no one else is around just go into an office where there is a company stamp. Droper down than have you buddy sign it, than have him be your reference as well. haha
oh if your employer figures out you did this they may not actually be to happy with you.
If you do this you take your fate upon yourself and are a jackass for actually taking this advise, also I like cake

Say you are applying for a new license or rating and transport wants to see a certified logbook...just a thoughtfloatplanepilot wrote: They also want a stamped logbook which will clue them in that I am interviewing elsewhere.
Re: jazz interview questions
When Jazz says that they want a reference from your current employer they may mean a reference from someone that works with you currently. I used a training captain that had done training on me and with whom I had flown with as a First Officer numerous times in the past.
But that was many moons ago. Anyone agree? Disagree? Totally out to lunch?

Re: jazz interview questions
Jazz will not call references until after the sim eval. You can also request to have Jazz HR call you to inform when they will call.
Provide the 3 references as requested, but always provide a reliable reference. My last boss (district chief pilot) is a complete idiot and would never trust him to speak highly of me. I used the DFO instead!
In any case, just explain your situation to HR and I am sure they will be accomodating.

Back to the second post in this thread...
Can anyone tell me what SPARE or SAR/PAR answering technique means?
I did a quick search but turned up nothing useful.

Re: jazz interview questions
Thanks to everyone for the explanations. It is very much appreciated.

A cop pulls over a car for speeding. As he gives the driver a ticket, he smacks him in the back of the head with his mag light and says, "that's for speeding." He then walks over to the passenger's side and smack the passenger in the head with his mag light.Samson wrote:I'd give my left nut to be asked this in their interview so I could say "I can't." and walk out.TopperHarley wrote: 6) How will you survive on our starting salary in Toronto?
I'm actually going through their hiring process right now in order to gain interview and Dash-8 sim experience for an overseas gig I'm applying for (I wouldn't work for Jazz in a million years). I hope that's not unethical.
"What was that for??" the passenger asks.
The cop replies, "Because you would drive off and you would have said, 'I just wish he would have tried that with me'"

Re: jazz interview questions
Just curious.... Has anyone on here interviewed in Montreal lately and if so how long did it take before you heard back from them?
Re: jazz interview questions
I waited 3 weeks but it was last fall just before they stop the ground schools.
The longer you wait the better. bad news come very fast.

Re: jazz interview questions
+1 on waiting aint so bad.
Only takes a few keystrokes to send out the ubiquitous PFO . But the process of it all, particularly at a time when Jazz HR is extremely busy, can take a while. I had to personally motivate one of my references who is living on a 'tropical island pace', to keep things moving. Took almost a month to get a GS invite.

Re: jazz interview questions
Jazz HR has been told to hire 144 flight attendants, so they are swamped.
You don't want to hear from them right away, they send out PFO's quick.

Re: jazz interview questions
HI all,
Jazz states that after the interview it takes from two to three weeks to get a reply, I understand some people here have got the call after two, three days or even "during the interview", I just want to know how long does it really take to get the call, does Jazz actually waits the whole three weeks?
thank you all,
