Re: Algonquin airlink
I don't think a boat can cut it. I think we need an oil tanker...I didn't get anything either. Anyways, I might have a 0.0034% chance of making it anyway since I'm sure 6 dudes with a PPCs on type and 5000 hours applied. I almost lost all hope in being able to make it there.
Re: Algonquin airlink
Well friend I have a PPC on the 550 and 10000 plus hours and lots of corporate time and didn,t get a call so I guess that almost makes me second in command of this row boat. At least we are all making a joke out of thisSky_Conqueror wrote:I don't think a boat can cut it. I think we need an oil tanker...I didn't get anything either.

Re: Algonquin airlink
I applied for this same gig 1.5 yrs ago, got several responses showing interest in my experience. I responded every time saying I was very interested and would be readily available for an interview. He kept telling me it'll be next month, next month, next month and so on. After silence for several weeks I wrote back asking him if the position was filled or if I was still on the consideration list. Didn't hear a word back. I don't know if they get too busy with trying to write everyone but I was a little frustrated and dissapointed and haven't bothered to waist my time again. Got a good corp job now anyway.
I've heard it's a good gig so good luck all but I wouldn't be too worried if you don't hear back or too excited if you do.

Re: Algonquin airlink
I'm beginning to think that getting a job in this goddam industry is like lottery. Either you have it or you don't, regardless of experience....
Re: Algonquin airlink
I second that. Experince is nothing now. It's who you know.Sky_Conqueror wrote:I'm beginning to think that getting a job in this goddam industry is like lottery. Either you have it or you don't, regardless of experience....
Re: Algonquin airlink
Respect will/should/shall be given to all those who have applied. People will be contacted within the next couple of weeks, either way. As per the ad, please be patient - it's a small flight department. A new aircraft type (or two) are being added to the OC's, and there are a lot of other items that require immediate attention. Interviewing is high on that list, but it's not the only thing.
Re: Algonquin airlink

Re: Algonquin airlink
You know it would be a nice opportunity to have!! How about a chance? I have been applying there for at least 2 years and I never hear anything. Have the interviews started? How many are they looking at hiring?

Re: Algonquin airlink
Just curious - has anyone heard anything from the folks at Algonquin Airlink yet? It's mid April. I was kind of hoping to get at least a "not a chance, but thanks for applying" email.

Maybe it's because you are an idiot. Remember this little gem:
The fellow doing the hiring hasn't aspired to Air Canada but probably had the opportunity if he chose and further he is a moderator of avcanada. Do you not see the problem with your application and attitude? I wouldn't be holding my breath if I were you. I sure wouldn't want to be sitting next to you in the cockpit or spend time on layovers with you.For every one person that will not go to aircanada theres a thousand that will.so the only loser is the one that said no. When I start flying 35 years ago AC was the place to be and will be until the day we all die.Wake up you guys you'll only have one chance so take it.you'll be very sorry if you don,t

Re: Algonquin airlink
Last time I applied to this outfit (not to the most recent ad, the one from June 2011) we were also promised responses to all serious applications. So I made mine super-tailored to the specific posting they had had at the time, and still got nothing.
So I wouldn't hold your breath, I'm sure the Ops Manager there is a nice guy, but saying you'll respond to every application is clearly a lie in order to seem more hands-on then they actually are - which makes no difference of course, most companies don't promise replies and I'm sure they get as many applications.

Didn't apply to this ad but did to the 2 prior (2011 and 2010) and got very personalized, not form letter, rejection responses back both times. If he doesn't respond, I'm sure it's not for the lack of effort or any conspiracy on his part. Good luck to those who applied.
Re: Algonquin airlink
Just curious, has anyone heard back about the King Air 200 Captain/Citation FO job posted back in May? I have not gotten my PFO letter from them based on my application, but then again I don't see a King Air 200 for Algonquin Airlink on the Canadian register? News?

Re: Algonquin airlink
The King Air has not come online yet and the position will be interviewed and filled in the very near future. No calls have been made and subsequently no other letters have been sent either. With the submission and wait for type approval from TC other facets of our operations became more immediate priority in the short term. We expect calls to be made very soon.

Hold on, hold on.The King Air has not come online yet
All the experts here told me that they can get
a new type put on an existing POC overnight,
and they can get a new POC in three days.
