Hiring since May 2024

I had heard that FO hiring at Encore was on hold til the fall (at the earliest 🤔). Does anyone have info regarding how many DEC pilots have been hired since May (if any) and how many ground schools are scheduled for the remainder of 2024 at this point? Lastly, is the number of (internal) upgrades si...

Re: Current Group 1 IFR?

This comment isn't specific to Jazz, but I still don't quite understand this general requirement of needing to have a current IFR (other then for obvious reasons relating to IFR flying competency)... I agree. This was my understanding as well.. I’m beginning to think it’s simply a company policy, r...

Re: Current Group 1 IFR?

Perhaps a better question would be does an IFR ever EXPIRE, if you’ve never obtained a type rating? IFR has nothing to do with obtaining a type rating except that for a 705 type rating you need to have an IFR rating. It doesn't need to be current. But you need to have one. The PPC will renew your I...

Re: Current Group 1 IFR?

What I’ve been trying to ascertain through this thread, has been if the IFR actually expires (and training and ride are required), or if all Jazz is looking for is for a pilot candidate (who does not hold a type rating) to simply have completed the 6,6,6 currency requirement?) Lots of opinions, but ...

Re: Current Group 1 IFR?

Maybe they should hire experienced current atpl king air captains which would check off all the basic requirements easily. It’s not for me, for someone just getting started… I was simply wondering if that’s a new rule at Jazz. I’m not entirely sure but I have a question, does the IATRA require a va...

Re: Current Group 1 IFR?

Hypothetically if someone out of flying school (commercial, M-IFR) was building time doing a VFR job for 10-14 mos, and now had 1,000 hrs tt and was hoping to get on at Jazz… (that sort of thing🤔).

Re: Current Group 1 IFR?

I was just asking if this was a recent change, since I had heard of others getting hired in the past after not having flown IFR in a year or two.

Re: Current Group 1 IFR?

Specifically if a candidate was flying VFR exclusively for the last 12 plus months and their Group 1 had expired… at one time an IFR was actually good for 24 mos.

Re: YYC Base

To any of the YYC Q400 FOs out there: are you all flying a full block? (Specifically: Is there a shortage of Captains that is limiting the amount of flying available to FOs like at Encore?)
