AT usually posts jobs on their web site. Cut off for last pilot hiring was 31 December so you will not find job posts now.

Anyone know if commuting is possible with Transat? Heard you get jumpseat agreements with AC and WJ after 6 months.

On the Jumpseat topic...

AC yes, WJ no.

And it is effective upon hire, not after 6 months. It is the family travel benefits that kick in after 6 months.

Just received a notice that we will be hiring 15 pilots starting in August or September. Good Luck!

Does anyone know what the schedule is like at AT? How about the pay?

I dont know of too many people even getting hired there that arent bilingual, but a few have.
I heard that the groundschool was even taught in French so you better start learning and brushing up on your best Stephan Dion accent!

YVR Dude,
I work there and they do require that you speak both languages fluently.

Pay is 63000$ to start. Right now we are working 85-90hrs a month. Great company to work for, great guys and gals, fun destinations.

Cheers,

BlueStar
