The Air Canada OTS thread

Hahaha ya, an email essentially touching base letting us know we’re in the pool and our file is still being reviewed by the hiring board.

When looking at my inbox, the first few words associated with this email were “our sincerest apologies”...

From my understanding there has been a lot of negative feedback on the application process from those who recently received job offers. Extended timelines and lack of communication were brought up, so I understand the thought behind this email but my god, it could not have been more poorly written considering some of us have been waiting months on pins and needles. Then when something finally does come through it starts off with “our sincerest apologies”... talk about a punch to the gut!!

Perhaps a new draft could be used in the future when they want to “touch base” with applicants.

I'm sure since JS left the company the recruitment team has more pressing things to deal with than considering the specific sensibilities of every applicant. Not long ago people sat in the "pool" for years with minimal correspondence... some were hired right away. Just live your life in the meantime.

You're not in the pool.

Was going to post the same thing. There is no “pool” really. Either you’re hired, or “we will review your application again when we run out of people more qualified than you.”

[Transition9er2]

That’s a fair point, poor choice of wording on my part... no reference to being in “a pool”, it was more of a “we’re still reviewing your application” vibe to the email.

As always with this forum it seems, quick correction from the ones who care. Cheers fellas!

I believe there's still a pool. They won't tell you you're in it though, and an email saying they haven't finished reviewing your application means you're not in it yet.

Is YUL a base option for current new hires at AC or is everyone getting YYZ? If so, does it take long to bid over to YUL?

[jpilot77]

Multiple YUL vacancies on the last bid so it’s definitely possible. If you did get YYZ you’d be able to bid YUL on the next bid.

On which equivalent?

[jpilot77]

Pretty much everything. Vacancies on 330, 737, 767, 319, 220.

Thanks for the update! Is there going to be a slow down in November and December for the holiday season or will additional classes still be running before the new year?

From what I understand 1 class every 3 weeks. Calls go out 2-2.5 weeks ahead, so next class should be going out by the end of this week. Looks like guys that interviewed in August are still waiting. I’m not sure if class size is increasing.
