Brand new member on this forum (first post !) I am trying to find out what to expect as an AC pilot recruit.

Coming from a military (naval fighters) flying background this is all new to me, and I have to admit that if my Situation Awareness in my jet was as low has it is right know on what to expect if I get a shot at joining AC... I WOULD EJECT

Now don't get me wrong, I've spent evenings (and nights...


If my understanding is correct, when you apply for a job via their website, you apply for any spot at AC our AC rouge ?
● What about the RP - F/O deal ? When you join do they tell you after all papers are signed "you'll be a 320 F/O, no wait, you ll be a widebody RP" ? When do you know what fleet/ base you ll be assigned to ?
● If you are type rated, you don't have a training bond with AC, but do you owe the company a given numbers of years of service?
● If you get an interview and you go trough the selection, you enter the pool? Then You wait in the pool until they tell you : you have a ground school next month ?
● Usually how long does it take between they tell you your selection was a success and you enter ground school ?
Finally in your opinions do you think an ex military with ATPL, 1000+ fighters and 2000 total as any chance on the market right now ?
Thank you very much,
