How many more planned Pit courses for the rest of the year?

Anybody in the pool gotta call for the feb course yet?

For the interest of job security assuming that the choices are available, would it be wiser to go mainline RP than LCC FO?

Thanks. I assume when once being employed by the LCC, the pilot does not refer to himself as an Air Canada pilot but "the leisure carrier/Rouge" pilot. For example when banks/credit card companies/insurance etc. asks Who is your employer, would one state Air Canada or "Rouge"?

Thanks Fanblade for the explanation. What are the pros and cons of working for the LCC? Do you foresee a success in the LCC and a benefit to AC or is it gonna end up like a Zip situation? Can someone confirm my calculations... $46.94 x 77.5 hrs = $3637.85 per month/$43654.20 per year for a first yea...

How about a December ground school?

Well they won't have to throw very much at them, there are plenty of 704 jobs paying 60,000 plus for left seat. There was an ad not long ago for Saab 340 captain 75,000/yr.

I'm playing devils advocate again; better these EMJ stay in the air with lower cost operation than the operator decide to ground the planes and layoff the pilots all together like transat. Fact is, it's a very competitive industry and better have planes flying for less than not flying at all. And a...

Can you confirm the g/s is on Nov 12th?

Why would it take 5 days to call approx 20 guys?

Has anyone heard anything from the interviews that were held on the last week of January/first week of February?

Does the medical invitation comes in a form of email or phone call? And how long after the interview would you expect to receive the medical invitation (from what I've read its anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks)? Feeling kinda antsy...

Is the mock interviewer a (ex)pilot from AC?

Ok, so to my understanding... You get Skype, send them an email of your resume and background/experience, set up a date and give Skype username, pay, and you receive the prep course? How long and is there a time limit for the practice interview? I suppose the advices, tips, and notes will be receive...

I have a few questions on the PCC prep for anyone that has used it recently/previously to help prepare for the AC interview... How many of you new-hires here have used the interview prep? How accurate are the personality/behavioural interview questions? Does it prepare you for the cog and psych test...

Hi guys. Do educational transcripts have a deciding factor in the selection process?

For the folks that got a call from Canjet HR a couple weeks ago, have you heard from them since?

Do they take direct entry capt? Salary for capt? How long from right to left?

Can anyone share any info on Georgian regarding schedule and pay for captain? Do they hire direct-entry captains? If not, how long from right to left seat?

Thanks!
