Lets see,

Initial Interview - April 1 2011
Sim - May 2 2011
Medical - Nov 2011
PFO - Jan 9 2012

I don't mind getting the PFO but 9 months to wait then a PFO. I chose not to apply for other jobs during the period waiting on Jazz. My own fault. Don't count your chickens till they hatch I guess.


I just a little upset that it took this long.

Good luck to everyone still in the pool.

You smoke a fatty this summer??! :weedman:

I thought once you got the medical you pretty much had the job. Just a formality to piss into a cup at that point and wait for a course date.

Don't quote me on this but I thought for urine exams they also look at glucose/protein levels not just if you are under the influence of drugs ?

They just look at a few key indicators on the urine test to ensure it is legitimate fresh stuff.

I feel for you man....that is truthfully a looong wait after the initial interview to be PFO'd. Why? Hard to say, but nevertheless, take it as a positive learning experience and apply again! (and elsewhere too).

Good luck!

Hmm .. sounds like you might wanna reconsider your references .. I think after you complete the medical they do a reference check .. and since they put you through the ringer till now that's the only thing I can think of that would sink you at this point.

You can reapply .. I know of someone that had to do the process twice but got on.

G'luck!

There is also the background check too. But that comes after the medical and usually around the time of your reference check.

Well all i can think of is that at the time I only had 2200 hours and no ATPL. Did the background check, which I have had many for medevac jobs so can't see a problem there and the references they talked to all claimed to have given good references. I dunno I feel frustrated and defeated by this one.

don't be sad some received a "we have found it necessary to limit our selection to those candidates who best meet our requirements" letter even when meeting their requirements and before having an interview.......

Sorry it didn't work out for you this time. Many of us have been in that same situation. Ya it really sucks, the only thing you can do is keep applying and keep doing the best job you can at your current employer and things will come together. Try not feel to down about it, I know its tough but keep givin'er. Best of luck!

Well I highly doubt RJ spots will be available as we have replaced 15 of them with 15 Q400s. So looks like Classic Dash spots and Q400, probably every base with the exception on YHZ. Good luck!

The latest Equipment Bid is out with the following vacancies posted:
YUL DH8: 18
YYZ RJ: 2
YYZ Q400: 26
YYC DH8: 3
YVR DH8: 11

There will probably be some changes to the above but this should give all who are potentially on an upcoming course of what is out there.

I've been invited to an interview as well. :D What do they look at in the background check. Is it just a criminal record check to see if you can get a RAIC and a reference check or does it go beyond that?
