Any hiring news?

What does
"Hiring Quota Reached" mean?

All vacancies filled.

[Fish N. Chips]

So does this confirm no more GS's for 2013?

[AllClutch]

That would be retry disheartening,
Has anyone gotten a PFO?

The August bid will be out soon. That will show the hiring prospects/vacancies (if any) going forward. Usually if there are vacancies it won't be a few months until hiring resumes again in the early new year.

FYI...the news around the crew room is rumoured to be about 20-30 downgrades if there are no takers for the SLOA (Special Leave of Absence) or RTB's (Reduced Time Blocks). Lets keep our fingers crossed these positions can be saved...

Crew rooms, especially the yyz crew room, are the last place to get "news". They're venting areas for the perpetually negative types. I doubt there will be downgrades.

When exactly is your equipment bid in August guys? Guess we're quite a few to monitor this quite closely.

Reductions out East if required
More aircraft coming to YYC
10-15 upgrades in YYC

It would be nice to hear about these bids sooner than later so we know what's going on with our jobs!

I assume you would have a copy of the CBA between ALPA and Jazz? You can find the timeline for bids in there. Experience says that you will never see the bid published prior to the dates indicated, and have even been known to be later (mutual agreement between both sides). It is always frustrating waiting to see what's going to happen, but don't lose sleep over it!

Yeah, I do have the timeline.. When I said sooner than later, I was referring more to "right on schedule" than later due to mutual agreement!

But you're right, probably not worth it to lose sleep over it. Whatever's gonna happen is going to happen anyway.

[JLA]

Care to elaborate what a CBA is? Nothin to do with the CPA right..

Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The contract you work under, essentially.

Any August bid news?

[JLA]

Heard it was postponed by ALPA? Anybody?

[Bajan Pilot]

Delayed by mutual agreement between ALPA and the company.

[JLA]

Still no sign of an Equipment bid, anyone?

[prop2jet]

Nothing likely until the end of the month.

So.. thoughts on the no-equipment-bid-needed email?
