Pilot Hiring 2025

[FlairOps]

Hello FlairOps,

What is the rough timeline to expect an interview invite following the Prescreen Questionnaire? Will everyone who received the prescreen questionnaire get an interview invite, or will there be further shortlisting for the in-person interview?

Thanks in advance!!

Interview invites will go out over the next 4 weeks. Not everyone who prescreens will automatically get an interview.

Ok, thank you! Is the recruitment team still looking to hire around 20 FOs or did that number go up with the new tail arriving in December?

Does a successful interview place us in a pool or direct offer?

[E2M]

Yes, all of the cadets who had graduated the program were hired in December.

Is the COMPASS test still in place ?

Yes it is.

As in, not required to retest COMPASS?

Are there going to be more ground school dates after October 2026? Any tentative dates for those?

Are they going to be for YVR base? Is there going to be in early 2027?

Appreciate your communication!!

We will likely have openings available in most of our bases depending on the internal bid awards for current pilots. At least half of the new hires will be YYZ based, but we should have some First Officer positions available in YYC, YEG (very limited) YVR and potentially YUL as well.

We anticipate some amount of additional hiring throughout 2027 as well.

Hey Flairops,

I did my video assessment in Jan and i never got any update since. I know the next step would be psychometric questionnaire which i have been waiting since. I have accumulated more experience in the meantime and portal will never let me update my resume or experience. I have send multiple emails to careers and pilotjobs emails but no reply. It’s been dead silence. Is there something wrong from my end or is this the normal issue everyone run into these days? I would really appreciate anyones input.
