So I did my interview last month, and received a PFO that was dated just two weeks after my interview. I thought everything went fine. Has anyone else been PFO'd so fast and then got called back? I talked to Jennifer and she said that sounded a bit too early to receive a letter. Any info...please? ...

Part of the issues I had were computer related (i.e. a slow or non responsive light pen, or arrow keys that didn't respond). I spoke to the test givers and they watched me do it, and confirmed that there were a few "bugs" but just to do my best. I don't remember specifically, but I also had some tro...

I'm curious.. has anyone (other than me!) been PFO'd after a "call back interview" I was called back (8 months after I first interviewed) to re do my COG test and 2 of my psych tests. I know that I did poorly on my COG test, and that is the primary reason why I will never be an Air Canada pilot.

Actually it was a damn simple test, was like playing pong with a light pen! The psyc tests were the dumbest bloody tests I have every had to do. I did research on these types of tests and they are not designed for intial information, thye are designed for a individuals baseline not a group! Persona...

i did my interview july 5th last year, and it took a long time for them to get back to me, about 9 weeks and this was only after i emailed cathy vining to respectfully inquire. the PFO said reapply in 6 months, which i believe means you passed the interview. Mmo Why do you believe that "it means yo...

Ironic.. I got a call today from Jennifer saying that "the review board wanted me to re do 3 out of 4 of the tests again".. (the cog, and the 2 shorter pshych tests)... Does this mean I did o.k. on my interview but messed up my psych and cog tests? I don't recall anything special about the psych tes...

Hi guys, I know a bunch of guys have been turned down by mainline but for the ones who succeed, what do you think AC is looking for ? What to say or not to say, or is it just luck ? Tks you Why is it when anyone asks a valid question all that comes up on this site is jokes? Those of you who are AC ...

My friend got the pfo letter a couple of months ago. He received a phone call this week from AC. He is starting in mid-february. Good luck! Did he not have to interview again?? Elsewhere in this thread someone implied that there was an effort "from inside" to get their friend another interivew or s...

THANKS!

Hi.. My computer crashed, and I lost all my "links"..
I would like to "reapply" to A.C. (I was one of those who got a "thanks for coming out, try again in 6 months" letter).. but I don't remember the site/link to apply..
Sorry for the question, thanks for the help.
Cheers

Thanks, Y

No Sim portion (there is one for Jazz).. I wish there was one. .it would be a better way to evaluate one's abilities instead of the Cog test.. just my opinion.

It took me almost 7 weeks to get a "nasty gram" from them saying thanks, please re apply in 6 months..

Hi.. I had a similar experience.. I was called by HR and had a quick phone interview..I told them that I was not willing to relocate, but that I had been commuting (a pretty long distance, and to the U.S.) for years, and I was used to making contingency plans (i.e .going the night before etc.)..he s...

YEs thanks for a great response....
Unfortunately the colour test is irrelevent, as I got a "thanks for coming out" letter from AC.. too bad.. I really wanted to work for them.. who knows, I may be sucessful in 6 months??
Thanks for the serious response
Cheers

Hello.. First of all, I appologize if my questions have been answered elsewhere on this forum.. I did do a bit of search, but I got lazy! LOL. I have been called for an interview, and to be honest, I'm trying to find out some information before doing an interview. 1) What are the chances of getting ...

What is the summer deployment? is it sort of like the sunwing deal (i.e. they take the planes to the U.K. and fly them there....
thanks for the info,.

I interviewed about 2 months ago. I got a "thanks for coming out" letter about a week or so ago. The letter talks about updating your application, and re applying after 6 months. Does anyone have any insights on whether or not anyone actually gets another interview or not? Also, I wonder if its 6 mo...

Does anyone have any info about skyservice? I'd like to apply there.
Thanks

I agree that a sim eval is much better.. I thinkI may have messed up the COG test.. I got a "nasty gram" Please don't start saying that I'm mad at the company or anything. I accept responsibility for the fact that I didn't meet the company's standards... but I found the test a very poor instrument.....

Thanks for all the advice.. keep it coming if you want!
Cheers

HI.. looking for some advice (what have I opened myself up to!??) I interviewed at AC about 2 months ago. I have not heard from them at all (I understand that they are backed up with filling classes etc.). I recently interviewed with another Canadian company (a charter company, who shall remain name...

June 26th interview.. told I would hear in 4 weeks.. almost 2 months now and no news...sounds like they are just backed up or something.. I jumpseated today on AC and was told that normally if you have not heard within about 3 weeks (i.e. a "nasty gram") , then they are just playing the "points" gam...

Thanks for all the posts! I found this kind of neat link on the web..

I had heard years ago that the lantern test was called Farnsworth also..who knows! From what I've heard hardly anyone uses that one anymore.
Cheers

Thanks... My colour vision is stable.. the same as it always has been.. I can't read the "plates"... anyway, thats good to know about the forms if there are any vision problems..
I appreciate your response.
Cheers

Hello.. I vaguely recall seeing a post on here about someone having taken the Farnsworth Colour vision test during an AC medical.. (the one with the little pucks).. Does anyone know if they will use that one if necessary, or if they will accept a "pass" from Transport Canada on that test (I just did...
