Thanks everyone for your replies, its great information.

It seems like doing the drive is the best option. I'll look into getting a second car to put the km's onto it and enjoy the drive

If anyone here does this I would appreciate any info. I'm guessing with the frequency of flights per day from YOW to YUL it shouldn't be to difficult but is there alot of people trying to get on those flights?

Thanks for any info.

You can go from WB RP straight to NB CA as long as your seniority can hold the position. Upgrading to a type you’ve never operated before comes with its own set of challenges but it’s fairly common these days. Do you know which of the WB RP positions has the best QOL? From what I can tell the 330 s...

There's going to be lots of hiring next year too.

They are currently doing classes of 23 with 20 of those people coming from Jazz.

Lots of hiring next year too.

I do know there’s quite a few commuting from YHZ. Thankfully, some airlines have opened up the FD for other airline’s participating pilots to sit in the jump. It’s one extra seat that many can’t occupy. Talking with friends that commute from the coast, it can be challenging; But very doable. Plan a...

What is it like commuting from Halifax? Easy or not so easy? There's a good amount of flights but I guess a lot of people trying to get on those flights?

Called recently, start date in a few weeks. Good luck to everyone

Out of curiosity does anyone know if there's a minimum jet hour time for RP? I'm pretty sure there is for WB FO.

Seems to be mostly Jazz guys at the moment.

Did the interview on 9th August. Background and reference checked . Haven’t heard anything since

Ah yeah I was there the day before lol, very similar situation.

Just wondering if anyone who interviewed OTS in July or August has received a phone call?

subscribing this thread makes me even anxious LOL, interviewed at the end of July and am still waiting for a potential PFO email..

Did they do your background check?

Then seven weeks after the background check, you get an email saying "you were unsuccessful in the interview."

Would they go to the trouble of doing the check if you'd been unsuccessful in the interview?

Yeah figured. It's not exactly western is it.

Any ideas on the chances of a YHZ base?

I’d do some pretty terrible things for a yhz base

Ha yes me too! Beautiful place, low(ish) cost of living, easy commute to the airport....

Likelyhood of it happening though.... 1%

So basically once the merger is complete a WestJet Pilot would simply bid for a YUL base, if it becomes available, and move on over?

YWG and YHZ have been bandied about,

YHZ yes please!

Haha got you. At least volunteer pay increases every year from PT McDonalds to FT Red Lobster.

Apparently ALPA is going to get you guys $100000 per hour though so you'll be good
