Re: Anyone in YEG get a call for upcoming training yet?

Just got a call, I am next in line on the standby list for the VFR course (streamed IFR).....not to be mean spirited but I hope someone drops out or declines.......this is good news thought because if no one does drop out, as long as there isnt too many people added to the IFR and/or VFR pool, I sh...

Re: Anyone in YEG get a call for upcoming training yet?

I got a call this morning offering me FSS. The classroom segment would be in the Surrey ACC, but the assignment would be in the Edmonton FIR. It *really* isn't my preferred option, but I'll talk it over with my wife... well its something i guess, I told them I would not be willing to do FSS as it i...

Re: Anyone in YEG get a call for upcoming training yet?

I got a voicemail from NavCanada wanting to 'follow up with me about my interview in Edmonton". The call actually came from Gander on behalf of YEG. Of course I missed the call so I have no idea what it means. Apparently they will call back Monday. I by no means know their procedure, but if I were ...

Re: Anyone in YEG get a call for upcoming training yet?

I know i just checked last week, but being that people in YWG and YVR have been receiving their calls I thought I would check again and see if anyone from YEG has gotten an invite yet?

Thanks all!

Sort of off topic advice, but not really

Hey you classy folks! I am in a bit of a conundrum. I am still awaiting a call for the upcoming training classes (fingers crossed) which I understand they will be beginning to extend offers any day now, my problem is this: I am a university student (3 classes this term) and just started about a mont...

Re: Why do YWG and YEG hold more assessment sessions?

The turnover isn't so much people resigning and leaving the company. There are people that bid to other units, retire, or go on parental leave etc. The tough part is that not everybody can do the job and it takes a lot of resources to get a licensed controller through all the training. Specialty/Un...

Re: Why do YWG and YEG hold more assessment sessions?

If you weren't upset I apologize, that is just the tone that seemed inferred by the verbiage you used in your comment. For the record, I think NavCanada is an excellent organization and I hope to be lucky enough to be given the opportunity to work for them. I was just wanting to discuss the lack of...

Re: Why do YWG and YEG hold more assessment sessions?

as far as OTJ the qualified controller just supervises, provides feedback and intervenes when necessary correct? so how does it take additional man power to have the licensed controller switch seats? either way you need a controller on the scope, what difference does it make whether he is controlli...

Outflying8 you are in for a very long road if you think my comments were over the top and that I need to CALM DOWN lol.

Re: Why do YWG and YEG hold more assessment sessions?

Were you referring to my comment or his? Both - A lot of the the questions in my interview revolved around how I handle (sometimes short) criticism, so I'm going into it with the attitude that I don't know shit from shit, and if someone says I don't know shit from shit, they're not insulting me, ju...
