New Hire Bases & Commuting

[Propjet]

Hi guys,
any idea which bases the latest new hires are being sent to? Last year it was YYC. What are the chances of a YYZ base? For those of you in Jazz, based on an average schedule is it feasible to commute from say YYZ to YYC?

Thanks

There's new hires?

[Propjet]

Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific, they are interviewing again. Not sure what the plan is for actual hiring, but thought someone on the inside might have some input.

Last I heard they have a GS planned for the 24th of this month

[Wacko]

From the couple guys I know they were all able to be based out eat within 18 months. Of those guys one was commuting so it is possible. The base will probably be Calgary. Everyone internally gets to bid base change before the new hires. Good luck.

Thanks for the info

[razorblade]

+1.. I do think it'll be Calgary. I can't say it'll be an easy commute though. Those flights are way too full all the time. When I do that here in YYZ, I jump back and forth between terminals so I can try both WS and AC.

hey guys.

i got an email from jazz and ask me to contact them back asap to ensure i am still interested in the position.

i will call them back on monday, i am wondering what i should expect during the conversation over the phone?

is it part of the interview?

thanks everyone. any words are apperciated.

I've heard YYZ needs 10 fo's for the classic

(and ten captains)

although I heard this would be at the expense of YUL

What is the time for people getting these calls for the 24th GS

[Canoehead]

12 for the Nov24 course.
12 for the Dec15 course.

Can't tell you bases as my crystal ball isn't that clear.

The above numbers are subject to change, and I believe sim evals are scheduled throughout December so I would expect it to continue in January.

If you haven't been keeping your online profile updated, do it now as I believe it does "expire" if inactive for a period of time (3 months maybe?).

Good luck

I suppose the call and interviews have been already made for the nov. 24th gs?

[Kingair200]

i tried to contact the hr today however no one picked up the call. replied the email. no reply as well

kinda panic now.

[Rowdy]

Time to update the Profile me thinks

[Kapitanov]

Did anyone already receive a call for the Dec 15 course?

[yxu737]

Any word on when the next ground school is after Dec.15?

Yup ! Calls have gone out for dec 15th GS !

[Maver!ck]

They don't know yet ! They are doing a few sim evals in December and January, they will probably have a GS early 2015 ....

As somone who's commute has always been on four wheels (well, sometimes two, but you get the idea)..

How would commuting for a new hire work from YVR to probably YYC (or wherever I could be based?) Is it feasible?

[AllClutch]

It's doable lots of people do it. but the loads are always super tight.
Keep in mind a ton of mainline flight attendants and pilots commute that exact same route and you will never ever be a higher priority than them.
Then there is the ton of Jazz YVR commuters who got displaced to YYC when there base was down scaled so your behind all those guys.
