That would depend on if you're still current on type with a PPC within the last 6 months to a year and if you were used to a Boeing SOP.

If you were current and we could match you with a current typed sim partner then we would likely run a short course which would consist of 4 sim sessions and a PPC.

I’ve been debating moving back out to the west coast, what is happening to the yxx base?

We have what we call the Lower Mainland base which is comprised of CYXX and CYVR. We don't anticipate any more flying from CYXX and our focus is entirely on the higher yields from CYVR.

Currently we're only recruiting for CYYZ, there is a possibility of further hiring for the CYVR base later this year depending on aircraft deliveries and winter schedule.

Mix of DEC's nd FO's. It is a very competitive environment now and I'd expect some captain qualified candidates to be less than competitive and accept FO spots knowing that growth will move them into eh left seat quickly.

Noticed on their job posting on PCC they’re hiring for 737NG/MAX. Do they have Max’s on hand/order already?

The pay scale is very good for both Captains and First Officers. Enough for a pretty good lifestyle. Is it the best? Probably not, but it definitely isn't the worst. Plus the people are really great there and work very hard to make it a successful airline. And to see a job posting there is a really promising sign for the future.

Merry Christmas!

Judging by the contract rudder posted, I wouldn't go as far as to say its very good. It looks decent though. That being said, it's definitely not the worst. Swoop takes that prize. At least the new FO's at Flair will be starting much higher than AC or WJ.

I wonder how many laid off Westjet guys who laughed at Flair's transition to ULCC flying will end up begging for a job there. Oh the irony. How in the hell is Flair even able to hire right now? Something must be brewing. Can anyone from Flair share any details? In either case it's but a silver lining in what has been the worst year in decades.

I heard there are interviews going on this month, I was wondering: is it just to build a bank of candidates for the future or will these people be offered a job immediately?

I'm going to guess nobody will be offered jobs immediately. Right now there are still furloughed guys who have to be recalled and trained. That will take time. I'm going to guess job offers will go out late spring, but I could be wrong.

What’s the process like? Medical and sim or just an interview? In person or done online?
