Any word yet on a January ground school?

[Flyinghunter27]

No jan gs but feb seems to be a go. just got an update email from AC today and also they say there is 48 people in the pool and will be calling 20 people who interviewed late july early august for this course.

Hope that helps!!!

There's a new equipment out today and it shows the need for 112 new hires. That's good news for everyone at AC or those hoping to get here.

I wonder what happened to the fear-mongers predicting 1,000 layoffs?

[SayAgain]

Does that 112 spots for new hires include positions at the LCC or stictly mainline?

[Flyinghunter27]

Well that's some good news, also interested in finding out if that's just mainline or includes LCC.

[CanadianEh]

It is a mix of mainline and LCC.

[DHC-1 Jockey]

How and when does one know which operation they will be operating for? Does everyone get hired together and then you choose mainline or LCC in groundschool? If so, that's a little like playing Russian roulette.

You will be an Air Canada pilot whether LCC or Mainline. Where you could potentially go will depend on the vacancies and training availability and you would find out your first week on course. There will be equipment bids every 2 months under the new contract and you could potentially bid and be awarded a different position before you even start your first course.

any calls go out for February yet?

[TheStig]

Not yet.

[mogas]

Anybody in the pool gotta call for the feb course yet?

[WhatThe?]

Don't hold your breath for a call until early January, usually get about 30 days notice.

Have a good Christmas,

Good Luck

Hi there,
For those of you in the pool. Have you all done your medical and your références call or if you were sent a letter stating you are in a pool?

[Flyinghunter27]

Hey lov2fly, my references were called but no medical yet, i received an email for the pool and was also told that medicals would be booked when your name came up for a course.

[bravowhiskey]

I have a few friends in the pool that were interviewed in July and they have their medicals completed. I was in the November Pit course and our course consisted of people interviewed from early June to early July. I would imagine the February course will be from guys interviewed from early July to early August.

[lov2fly]

Okay
Thanks guys.

[Flyinghunter27]

Just to solidify what bravowhiskey said, in the email update they sent out a few weeks ago about the feb gs, she did say that they were calling late july and early august folks in the pool. I interviewed in mid sept and was told that they will not be doing pre employment medicals until your name comes up for a course and will be calling in order of when you interviewed.

Hopefully with the amount of spots needed to be filled after the last bid that they will solidify a few more courses after feb.
