Re: EXPECTED NUMBER OF RETIREES AT AC.

It’s been approx. 100-120/yr for the past few years. You can expect that number to remain the same until the last boomer retires in the next 5 years or so. Thanks Xander for your response. I'd imagine it'll slow down a bit after that since most by then will be relatively younger i.e. low average ag...

Re: EXPECTED NUMBER OF RETIREES AT AC.

+1 The fact that you said “don’t ask why I care” makes me wonder why you care. You definitely should tell us why you care before someone gives you false information on this subject. Then you can use the info to make important life decisions. Thanks CaptDukeNukem and everyone that responded. While I...

EXPECTED NUMBER OF RETIREES AT AC.

Good day everyone,

Kindly wanted to ask what is the rough number of AC pilots expected to retire annually.

Don't ask why I care... :D Just curious if AC hiring is MAINLY due to expansion or expected retirement.

Thanks in advance!

I know this was asked 2 months ago,
but I'm just wondering if anyone who finished their interview recently got any new tips.

Thanks
If anyone’s got some recent tips to the interview then that’ll be greatly appreciated 🙏

Re: Reasons to NOT choose Encore

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Do what you need to do for yourself to be happy and successful. I for one am relatively happy at Encore, pleased with ALPA, and have no intention of jumping ship. Good to hear other side. Would you be kind enough to share some of your like...

Re: Reasons to NOT choose Encore

Thanks for this information. Pretty sad hearing this. I have an interview coming up with them. I have applied to other places as well and will certainly prioritize those over Encore (unfortunately). However, would you recommend starting off with Encore then eventually move on to other operators fur...

Re: Reasons to NOT choose Encore

Ever hear the phrase a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush? Essentially just because there is other operators doesn’t mean they will hire you. Are you happy staying where you are forever? If not look into all the carriers mentioned and apply to all you may get offers for all jobs or none [/quote] Oo...

Re: Reasons to NOT choose Encore

From a current employee to potential applicants, here are MY top reasons you shouldn't consider Encore: 1. Not to beat a dead horse, but flow may soon be a thing of the past. Even if the Pilot Transfer Agreement with Encore, Swoop, Mainline (and Sunwing?) may exist, you're still looking at 6 to 8 y...

Re: #EncoreFlowMoraleLow

:smt014 Anyone looking to come to Encore right now, give this topic a good read. If you have a 1000 hours just wait it out till you get 1500. Apply to WJ or Swoop directly then. Its all max duty days with low pay here. Lots of experienced guys are leaving. Flow is non existent. Avg 8-10 spots a mon...

Re: Calm Air Questions

Sorry I don't have answers to your questions regarding Calm Air but I have a question or two, if you don't mind me asking. Did you get offered a position with them?If yes how many hours did you get in with? I am at 1300 hrs and applied to their posting but never heard back from them at all. I unders...
