There is not much to summarize... leaves are being offered up and those interested have until the end of August to decide. Ulitmately the Company will decide if a particular request will be granted. Leaves to work for a "competitor" are not going to be authorized.

Do you have to tell them where your going?? Do they list who they consider a "competitor"?

Look under the SLOA policy Guidelines Chart under Employment During Leave. According to that employment with competitors will be approved.

SLOA= special leave of absence. You can leave the company for a few months or a few years, go work overseas or somewhere else in canada and make some good $$$ or do some different flying, and get to keep your seniority number at jazz.

RTB= reduced time blocks. Pilots are normally scheduled between 77-82.5 hrs/months block time. With an RTB, you can work 37 hrs/mo. Good for people who dont need the $$ and want to spend more time at home.

so does that mean Jazz will be hiring? Good news for the Zoom guys I guess, or has WestJet and Sunwing already scooped them up?

Word going around the training (g/s & sim) guys/gals is of a possible oct new hire course. Hard to believe, considering all the loa's and rtb's being offered, but then agian, this is aviation.

Kind of off topic but can anyone confirm the rumour of the 15 jazz guys/gals that were frozen at mainline going to the september 15th groundschool? If true should free up some spots.

Not that I'm in the know, but that seems a little hard to believe...

500hTT + 1000h 2ic = Westjet?? doubt it..

I heard that too, the college grads are already moved onto WJ and AC. One has a 320 course date. I dont know what to believe anymore.
