Is it via an internal special link sent to the interested candidate or is it the refer a friend on smart recruiters/their career webpage? Thank you!

Yes.

Curious about how Transat is looking for a new hire these days? Which base and aircraft are junior currently? How many days a month on average? Commuter friendly scheduling? Appreciate any insight, thanks! You can ask those questions during the interview. They'll be delighted to answer any question...

There are many variables to consider, but it would also be interesting to explore the purchasing power of each group. A WJ FO living in Calgary with fewer (income) taxes VS an AC FO living in YYZ. Assuming all other factors remain constant, what would be the Year 5 FO’s take-home pay, excluding the ...

Why are all posts from OP being “edited”?

So what I gather from that is it would take about 4 years for a 2500TT new hire to upgrade on average? Which makes sense, that’s a similar timeline I was told at the job fair. From buddies there who are still patiently waiting for the upgrade, it'll be more like 6 or 7. Therefore, the FO pay scale ...

Depends on where you’re going, Europe or UK/Ireland, southern destinations, or domestic. It’s paid hourly, from check-in to check-out. Sooo what's the rates? Canada---- $5.23/h South------ $6.73/h Europe---- $7.62/h From check in, to check out, not layover time. You're also provided snacks and meal...

If you are a fresh ATPL holder with 1500hrs, you'll be upgradable in 6 years. If you already have the hours between 4 to 8 years depending on the base you choose. What about a candidate with ATPL 2500-3000TT? I heard the upgrade requirement is 4000-5000 TT Flight ops will do an assessment based on ...

Interesting. I thought AC had plans to open new destinations with the XLR and other destinations for the 787 and the 330 successor? How do they plan to crew the planes?

Even those that got in when the "One List" was still a thing?

It's being bought by another company.

I can see it go a bit like when Lynx went under. Orderly shutdown, 2-3 airlines divvy up the A321/A330 fleet directly with lessors and PKP steps in to buy the Transat brand for a relaunch. Pilots get hired by AC/WS/Porter and life goes on. AC's new contract leaves plenty of scope room for this exac...

You absolutely have no clue of what exactly happened.

I think AC or worst-case scenario Porter will buy TS.
French Bee is adding capacity from Paris Orly, Corsair added capacity, Air France added flights during the summer, Iberia as well as Avianca.

I won't be surprised if AC leverages this to buy TS.

Time will tell.

With all this hanging over everyone’s head, how many meaningful gains will the pilot body be able to get in May? Are there generally agreed upon must have items? Starting pay, company contribution to benefits, open time etc.? None, the company will go through CCAA and the contracts will be locked u...

Thank you.

Why don't you call them to know why?
Are those pilots junior?

You didn't get the news, you just read the ch-aviation article.

How much does an Air Canada pilot make? A recent job ad at Air Canada says that a captain of a narrow-body (single aisle) aircraft can make $215,000 to $290,000 a year, while a wide-body captain can earn $315,000 to $350,000 pus overtime and expenses. “The airline also offers comprehensive benefits...

Fight for it to be real!

That's the least they can give you.

What's the 2003 rate with inflation?

Covid lows were at $10. We're at $14. It still has to go lower and with the FED finally cutting rates and the recession in early 2025, I won't touch the stock before it hits those $10. I'll DCA from $10 to $7.5. I don't see any good news up until the recession is done. When you factor in 360 millio...

Are there any updates on recent hiring ? If it is still going on, what are the average hour hires on initial ground school ? What are the hour requirements ? No mention of hours on company site for the FO posting. 4 per month. The minimum is 1500 hrs but with such a low number of pilots per GS they...
