First Air

Post by flap16 »

Does anyone know if (or when) First Air will be recruiting for pilot positions?
I have applied through the website and email but haven't heard back. Any suggestions on how to get my application noticed?

Thanks!

An old bush pilot I talked to who had just over one million hours by then told me in no uncertain terms that I was to mail all my resumes on pink paper. He said it was guaranteed to be considered in any pile it may lay. When I then made a joke about it he got pissed off at me for not taking him seriously.

Interviews are happening now, and I'm sure there'll be some hiring very soon...Try getting on with Tindi first - that seems to help! lol...seriously though - good luck with the application...I think they're looking for ATR (YZF/YFB)/Herc (YZF) crews now.

They don't rotate the crews in Yellowknife do they?

Would someone be willing to PM me the name of the individual responsible for hiring/interviewing?
Also, would it improve my chances of getting an interview if I were to make a trip to Kanata?
Thanks!
