What this guy said. It the last PIT it seemed like all of us had different timelines for our own hiring process.

Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, are you OTS or off a PML?

I am an OTS hire. I also interviewed back in 2011 and was turned down, so it goes to show you to never give up!

July course rumour is true, I was offered a spot for July 17. Very excited! Unexpected too haha

I as well got the "Ground Schools are full". I did the in-person interview in Feb and the medical back at the end of March. I'm assuming 1 of 2 things have happened here. 1) They reduced the number of ground school spots for whatever reason and over interviewed for the number of vacancies. 2) They'...

I am OTS and have a medical scheduled for the end of the month. So while not a job offer, getting closer!

Just a way for the Minister to avoid having to tackle the real problem of scheduling and fatigue, but make it look in the public eye that the government is doing something to make the public safer while travelling.

We were given an amount that would cover a "basic ipad", eg. the 16gb, and if you wanted more features the rest was up to you.

Lots of good tips here, thanks all! The last few weeks I've been doing a "learn to speak" program I purchased awhile back, totally forgot I had it. Also reading the book "Fluent in 3 Months" for some more inspiration. Like a couple of you have said, I find just forcing yourself to speak it as much a...

I saw it in person while taxiing out today at YYZ and have to admit it looked better in person than I expected. That being said, airplane plaint schemes overall aren't exactly wild & crazy. Not sure you can really blow anyone away with a commercial airliner's paint scheme.

Thanks for the information. Did you indicate that you were bilingual on the application? Just curious as to whether they are looking at bilingual candidates at first. Anglophile only here. I've done the video interview. Standard pre screen type questions with some situational stuff about your exper...

Thanks. Might as well just go to the PML carrier then if it's only a year to get an interview with AC. It might be that long for OTS anyways. Plus I'll be a stronger applicant with 705 experience. Well, this may be good news or more confusing news for you, but I also received the email last April s...

Thanks gang. I definitely think the having to force yourself to try and converse with actual Francophones is required, the learning is just super slow without it!

Just curious if anyone here has any tips or info on learning French for an Anglophone? I'd like to be able to converse somewhat-fluently with our French passengers and locals while on the road or at work. Took it in primary school but of course high school me to was to cool to learn French, so I hav...

Hoping for a call! However I did interview back in 2012 and didn't get accepted then, so not sure if that will be a negative on my application.

Hah, OK no more Timbits...maybe cookies instead??? Don't want to come empty handed.

Thanks for the advice everyone, we're looking forward to the trip!

Hey gang. Going YYZ - MCO#1228 next week on the 28th, with my wife, our best friends and their 2 kiddies (3y and 8 mos), and was hoping we would be able to pop up to the flight deck after arrival to say hello and get a pic with the little one up front. She digs that kind of stuff! First time flyers ...

Hope that the pilot is OK. Spent a lot of years at Wasaya with a lot of great people. There is a big red and white placard on all Caravans that aren't certified that says " Flying not permitted in forecast or known icing conditions ". Any of you new Caravan drivers, don't be afraid to go point at th...

Got an email on Friday that recruiting team decided to pass on my application for mainline FO, which I was pretty bummed about as I was really hoping for a shot at WJ. Seems like an awesome place to work! Hopefully in the future they open up the app for mainline again. Congrats to those who did get ...
