Re: Air Canada Pool
Anyone ever get PFOd after being placed in the pool? Or are you almost guaranteed to get hired if you are placed in the pool??
Re: Air Canada Pool
If they didn't offer you employment within 6 months (or is it 1 yr?) from your pool date you will have to do the whole process again.
Re: Air Canada Pool
Ok thanks for that answer.
Has this happened to someone you know? Did they just get no news or actually get an official letter saying no go/please re-apply!?
Also - Anyone get news for march course?

That's what I went through. Now I'm at WJ. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Best for Air Canada too.onetreehill wrote:That's what I went through. Now I'm at WJ. Best thing that ever happened to me.
Re: Air Canada Pool
this did not happen to someone i know. but if my memory serves me well, in the past they have decided not to continue on with courses and everyone in the pool had to redo the process again.LTD wrote:Ok thanks for that answer.

Re: Air Canada Pool
How long does it usually take AC to respond after an interview? It's been close to 6 weeks and I haven't heard anything yet. Is this normal?
Re: Air Canada Pool
I didn't get any news till 3 months after my interview.
I think they are very busy/overwhelmed with hiring so try to be patient! I know It's not easy to stand by waiting for so long.
Although one of my friends recently got PFOd after about 6 weeks...
Good luck

Re: Air Canada Pool
You can get Pfo'd anytime. Don't forget that, even if you are in the pool, you still need to pass the medical (which I heard is not a piece of cake) and have your references checked.
So the pool is a step forward but far from being an employement offer,
Good luck to all the swimmers!
p.s: by the way does anyone know if everybody goes trough the pool or if some people have direct offers?

Re: Air Canada Pool
These days looks like new hires first go through being placed in the pool before having an official job offer.
February course was filled by candidates that were in the pool.
Hope this helps!

Re: Air Canada Pool
Not a huge surprise but Air Canada has confirmed today that it will take delivery of 5 777-300ER's in 2013 (including the 2 previously announced). This should leave about 300 pilot vacancies to be filled by the summer of 2014 (+ or - a few depending on retirements), not too shabby...ratherbee wrote:We have a new bid out tonight and it shows another 221 vacancies.
