i dont see any mention of a q400...?

[thirdtimecharm]

In Sabre it shows as DH4... must have been a mistake in the loading.

Caused some frantic searching here in the office.

[loopa]

It says must meet minimum requirements, so anyone meeting the total time requirements but no ATPL won't be looked at over at Cnorth? Even if less than 2 months from obtaining it?

I know some have been hired in the past who did not have ATPL's. Worth a shot, as weirder things have happened.

5T is an awesome company. Happy to be a part of a good organization. The only thing that worries me is the Oil business. When times are good like it is now, moral is high, and guys are getting upgrades in less than a year but it can all change quickly. We do sub contact what seems to be a fair amount of flying.

After listening to the latest town hall meetings I'm rather anxious to see what future work 5T is gearing towards and the fleet modernization plan.

Interesting!

Thanks!

Where can 5T expand their ops ? Unless its more oil patch crew change work, or get into more arctic skeds in a big way (more competition for 7F).

The mine work up north has slowed down, oil and gas exploration in the Beaufort is at a crawl so what is left, only the oil sands work, and that might be a bit shakey these days.

And how is 'mother corp' doing financially after bleeding the past few years...

Hopefully with good leadership at CDN North, they will keep the ship upright and sailing full steam ahead...

[Kosiw]

Looks like more 737-300's coming online this year for CDN North, to compete with 7F's forthcoming 737-400's on the YOW-YFB run....

Hey All.

I am fortunate to get an interview with Canadian North.
Any tips would be appreciated have not done an interview for some time.
PM if you wish.
Thanks

[Kosiw]

With the expansion of the Boeing fleet, (seems mostly due to oilsands work), will the Dash 8 fleet grow too or does the arctic work remain stagnant ?

[dhc#]

Any update on the hiring for the remainder of the year ?

[200Above]

I think they just hired 16 people from what I heard. Mostly for the Boeing. Not sure about the rest of the year. Depends on WJ and AC hiring I suppose.

Great company with a good balance of lifestyle and flying. The dash is like a retirement gig IMO.

Good Luck.

Iv been told through the grape vine that applying isn't a bad idea, but I cant seem to get any info on minimums for FO....
Does anyone have a rough Idea what they are looking for Re: (Dash/737)?

Our B737 new hires tend to have turboprop command time and around 3000-4000 hours TT. The dash 8 new hires are typically a little lower around 2500 TT.

There seems to be a lot of hiring in the industry at the moment, so you'd likely be competitive with a bit less than the above figures if you are interested and have a good background (ie decent 704 time with good SOP's)

[dhc#]

What sort of experience (not tt) are they looking for.....previous jet, larger turboprop, northern time ? What does it take to get noticed

Depends, jet time will definitely get you noticed, but few of our new hires have jet time. Larger turboprop command and a good SOP 2 crew environment helps, previous full motion sim time, northern time, gravel strip time, good IFR background and skills etc.

Most of our new hires are current captains on a B200, B1900, or D8 type of machine, with the odd twin otter guy thrown in. Its a steep learning curve from a twotter to a b737 though so they tend to end up on the D8. Anything that you can show that is relevant to the type of flying the company does. As i understand it we've had some weak skills in IFR procedures and sim performance in some new hires, so if you can show that you've got good solid IFR operational experience/skills in a 2 crew environment i'd imagine that you'd be interesting to the HR department. (caveat..i have nothing to do with hiring so this is my best educated guess based on experience and internal gossip)

[AMETonyD]

I heard that Canadian North is expanding their fleet and may be hiring AME apprentices here at their YYC base sometime this summer!
Is this still a go, or a no go? Time-frame?

If a go! Any recommendations to make it to the front of the pack, in terms of applicants applying for the positions(s) ?


regards,

[dhc#]

Has the interviewing ended ? The ad is still posted on the website, any updates from anyone in the know

Surprised this wasn't caught at one of the very few companies that do sim evals before hiring.

Me too.

Apparently we don't do them anymore now.

Today's plan is hiring to continue the rest of this year and into next.
