Spam Interview Email?

[DHC-1 Jockey]

Hi everyone. I just received the following email to my Junk folder today from "Air Canada Flight Ops" inviting me for an interview. The thing is, I haven't updated my resume there for almost a year. As well, wouldn't they call my asking if I was still interested and then offer me a choice of dates? At least that's what they did with me for Jazz. It just seems a little fishy to me. Any insight would be appreciated!

Hello,

Air Canada is calling you for an interview.

Please reply to this email - first come, first served. All testing and interviews are completed in Toronto.

**Please Note**
We are aware that coaching programs are being offered by third party companies on Air Canada's pilot interview questions. Please be advised that Air Canada does not endorse any agencies that prepare candidates for our interviews. Candidates who arrive for an interview with prepared answers provided by such agencies are easily recognized and will be assessed accordingly. Interview questions are changed at regular intervals. Providing 'canned' answers will likely result in a poor assessment of your suitability as an Air Canada pilot.

Please reply at your earliest convenience,

Thanks,

The note added on is new I think. I'm glad those who show up with their bought answers from a 4 or 5 hundred buck "professional" consultant are getting found out and seeing a PFO. Nice to see AC is prefering people who can come up with there own thoughts in the interview.
