Did mine late november as well and still nothing, FYI. +2000TT/+1000h 705. Hopefully soon!tata324 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 8:15 pmThanks for the heads up everyone, I would wait and see what goes on.Babar350 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 10:35 amThe HR system at AC is a weird animal.jpilot77 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 10:07 am
No news is good news. Your time waiting depends on your experience and qualifications. So if you have a degree, 705 jet PIC experience, etc… You’ll get put to the top of the list. If you have less experience, not much PIC, no postsecondary etc… It’ll take longer for them to get to you. So no news is good news.
I've seen people with 2200 TT no 705PIC but a degree to be called. I've seen others with no degree and no 705 PIC and 2500TT getting called.
I've also seen 705 PIC captain with 4500TT not even getting called for an interview...
The thing that could also make the file processing a bit slower is either the references taking their time to reply to AC or the MMPI test being either not good or the company processing the test losing the test in the system hence delaying giving the results.

Imagine sweat shops in China. That is pilots in this country.
Now, being illiterate AND trying to sound like an economist, lawyer, accountant
AC should mandate an annual literacy test. Hooked on Phonics for Jazz-stronauts would be "wokefully" fair.
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Those of you who did interview in November, how many of you have gotten a background check request or heard anything?

Calls went out on Tuesday, for the Feb 6th ground school.
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
I did mine towards the end of November and heard nothing from them. I have checked in twice with them and was told my file is still pending and awaiting a final decision. I also haven't received the background check request either. So I guess you're not the only one in that boat. Nothing was said about the medical or psych eval, so I am assuming all is well on that end, Background 4200 jet time TT 4400+/ with aviation Msc.

Oh ok, glad to hear I'm not the only one who still haven't heard anything. I guess no news is good news.tata324 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 6:18 pmI did mine towards the end of November and heard nothing from them.

Usually a hiring pause during the summer and it starts back up in September (last year they hired throughout the summer but they only started hiring in the spring).
Welcome to Redneck Airlines. We might not get you there but we'll get you close!
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Hiring will carry on throughout the summer. Potentially a slight tapper in numbers but from what I've been made aware of hiring will continue through summer 2023.

diminish or reduce in thickness toward one end
tapper
one who taps something or produces a tapping sound
Just saying;)
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
Considering the number of new hires, there is bound to be a tapper amongst their numbers!cdnavater wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 5:52 pmverb: taper

8000+ TT with 500+ PIC 737 and university degree.
Haven’t been able to get an interview since posting went up in the spring.
Anyone else with a similar background hearing nothing?

Yup I’ve heard of a few drivers in your situation and yet plenty of sub 3000 hours are getting the call.indieadventurer wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 6:32 pm 8000+ TT with 500+ PIC 737 and university degree.

AC works in mysterious ways
In twenty years time when your kids ask how you got into flying you want to be able to say "work and determination" not "I just kept taking money from your grandparents for type ratings until someone was stupid enough to give me a job"

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
So 3 PIT courses in February… 6,13,22? That seems like a lot
Re: The Air Canada OTS thread
There are rumours that they still want to get to 6000 pilots by summer 24. They’re running classes every 2 weeks now.orangejuice wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 8:01 amSo 3 PIT courses in February… 6,13,22? That seems like a lot

AC will need the extra 1000 to do the Express flying. Will also need to review NB fleet requirements.jpilot77 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 8:50 amThere are rumours that they still want to get to 6000 pilots by summer 24.
