Re: Grievance update for the 285ish former Jazz pilots affected by Flow

Any idea when the last Jazz pilot affected (of the 285ish) was hired at AC?

Re: Did they stopped hiring?

There is actually decent advice on here. - reach out to your internal references - curate your resume to match individual job descriptions - have a mentor or colleague take a look at your resume - clean up or make private your social media accounts - be open to criticism - apply elsewhere Not everyo...

Re: In 2023, would you go Jazz or encore if WJ mainline isn't your end goal?

Hi, Anticipating offers from both jazz and encore as I'm at the final stages of application, late 1300 tt 704 op, have all the PIC time for ATPL just waiting on reaching tt. Would you go to encore or jazz in 2023 if AC/flair/cargojet is your end goal? Encore seems like a no brainer in terms of pay ...

- Qualified Canadian pilot shortage.
- Closure of YYZ Encore base.
- Limited training capacity.
- Potential shrinkage.

Re: YCG

Pasco apparently cancelling flights to Cranbrook from Vancouver, a near-ish-by Interior town with a population of 20,000. Not sure about adding the Gar if Cranny isn’t working.

Re: Ground school date or pool

Management and WENMEC agreed that the MOA would be paid out one month in arrears. The $850/mo will be paid out one month late so that even if a pilot works one day in a month, such as the 31st of the month, this is captured and the pilot receives the payment. Apparently if a pilot flows or resigns t...

Re: Encore interview request

The hiring pool hovers around 1450 hours total time. And they are interviewing people with over 1000hrs. No hiring for Toronto and not enough new-hires to keep Calgary running properly. Now you have a new pay scale, shouldn’t it help losing less people to flair or Porter ? I’ve noticed a lot of pil...

Re: Encore ground school final

I just accepted the conditional offer as first officer in Calgary and in the email about the training it mentions a final exam. Just wondering how others found the exam and what kind of questions will be on it. All the questions are either in the e-learning slideshows, the AOM, or FOM. When you rec...

Re: Encore interview request

A few questions... Did you do the virtual or in-person interview in YYC before Dec 2021? When you say "employment package", is this a signed offer or just an information package? When you were placed in the pool prior to COVID, did you already meet all their hiring requirements or was it a conditio...

Re: Encore interview request

What guaranteed flow? There is no such thing. That's reserved for Jazz pilots. Encore pilots have nothing at all guaranteed, and the 10 years suggested is accurate. It's looking like only flow to Swoop for the foreseeable too. Alkoa is right on this one, it's a dead end job. Although if you have 25...

My on campus interview was beginning of February.

I received an email this week that I was placed in the pool.

Took approx. 3 weeks.

Now I'm waiting for a ground school date.
