Can anyone help me out with the interview for Air Transat??
I have the interview in 3 weeks and haven't found any real info on it. I am sure that there are some TS pilots on this forum. A little info would help a lot. This would be my final career destination and any help I can get to secure the position will be greatly appreciated.
I am also looking for salary info (I heard $65K to start)... But I heard there has been a new CBA signed with pay increase....
Of the 3 domiciles (YVR, YYZ, YUL) which one is the most senior?
Airline Pilot Central has no data whatsoever on them.
Please help!
Thanks in advance
Air Transat help!

182 Before you make a post..... Write them down on paper! Read the paper about ten times. If you still feel it is a good post, then put it on the forum.
If intelligent questions are continued to be answered by dipshits no one will post anything worth reading anymore.
It sounds to me like you should be the one asking the questions not answering them.
2 cents.

Air Transat was founded by former Quebecair employees in December 1986 as an off-shoot of Trafic Voyages. It made its inaugural flight on November 14, 1987, travelling from Montreal to Acapulco. Six years later, Air Transat assumed defunct Nationair's maintenance base and aircraft. Today, the company books 2.5 million passengers a year. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Transat A.T. Inc., specializing in organizing, marketing, and distributing vacation travel and packages. The organization comprises tour operators based in Canada and France. Today Air Transat is one of Canada's largest airlines.
FOR SURE WE ONLY HAVE A HAND FULL!!!
On 14 July 2006, Air Transat announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire British tour operator The Airline Seat Company for £20.4 million (approximately C$42.8 million). Between 1995 and 2006 The Airline Seat Company established a large proportion of its business under the banner of Canadian Affair, a tour operator and agent for charter flights between the UK and Canada.

Incidents and accidents
* On August 24, 2001, Air Transat Flight 236, en route from Toronto to Lisbon with 306 crew and passengers, had to make an emergency landing in the Azores without engine power after running out of fuel over the Atlantic ocean. The aircraft safely landed at Lajes Air Base, on the island of Terceira. The aircraft was evacuated in 90 seconds. None of the 306 passengers and crew were seriously injured in the incident. The cause of the fuel loss was an incompatible component - designed for a different type of aircraft - installed the plane's fuel system by an Air Transat maintenance worker.
* On March 6, 2005, on an Air Transat flight en route from Cuba to Quebec, using an Airbus A310-300 with 9 crew and 261 passengers on board, most of the rudder separated during the cruise. The crew became aware of the problem and returned to Varadero, Cuba, where they made a safe landing. The reason for the rudder structural failure is still under investigation. It has been established that no unusual rudder inputs had been used by the crew during the flight, they were not manipulating the rudder when it failed and there was no obvious fault in the rudder or yaw-damper system (ref: Flight International, July 2005).

B-777 good job with your description but you forgot about the bases in YYC and YEG.. No biggy.. But worth mentioning..
You also didn't mention the midnight paintjobs for the ex nationair 757's that suddenly became transat machines... Kind of a funny story actually..
One other note is that the problem with 236 was caused by a pre mod/post mod problem with fuel and hydrualic lines and that all parts were actually designed for the 330.. Just not made to be mixed.. PM me if you want to know more.. After that, there was a problem with the checklist and then it just snowballed from there...
Great company unless you have to deal with the western Canada maintenance manager.. He's a dickhead.. IMHO

I haven't been around there for a while so maybe things have changed.. I don't know though.. If you are talking about the crazy dutchman, he was great compared to the one I'm talking about.. PM me so I don't have to mention things on here that would get the site in trouble..plainfixer wrote:Twotter,
Is there much difference between the current western base manager and the previous western base manager?
Its a valid question.
