Re: August Equip Bid
When AC hires a large number of pilots from Jazz when are the vacant positions posted? I know there is lots of communication between both airlines with respect to just how many pilots should flow and when. Only a small number of Jazz pilots were hired at AC over the summer, where as the first (very large) class in September was primarily Jazz.
After reading the biographies I have to wonder if the Training Department has a complete turnover every 6 months.

Re: August Equip Bid
They don't really post them unless in a bid. I guess you could cross check the seniority list against the proposed numbersTheStig wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 4:52 am When AC hires a large number of pilots from Jazz when are the vacant positions posted?

Re: August Equip Bid
It’s really only the bottom of the training pilots list that turns over, the rest are career Jazz pilots, on my type only the bottom 5 right now are likely to go, above that not going for sureTheStig wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2019 4:52 am When AC hires a large number of pilots from Jazz when are the vacant positions posted?

Re: August Equip Bid
Okay so how Jazz will provide AC with the 60% for the next year?
Re: August Equip Bid
Barring no changes to the CPA with AC or addition of new business (Transborder CPA), Jazz will be getting smaller and smaller...
Re: August Equip Bid
The biggest barrier to Jazz providing 60% going forward (for example 0.6 x 600 = 360) for 2020 is the lack of qualified candidates (ATPL plus 2000 hours).
The big winners will be the recent Jazz hires who meet these minimum qualifications and could leapfrog those that do not.

Re: August Equip Bid
p.s. there is a Jazz PML flow-through pilot holding left seat on the last AC equipment bid (interim). 26 years old.
Congrats.

Re: August Equip Bid
So is it not a 2 year minimum now and it's just whenever they can take you?rudder wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2019 12:38 pm The biggest barrier to Jazz providing 60% going forward (for example 0.6 x 600 = 360) for 2020 is the lack of qualified candidates (ATPL plus 2000 hours).

Not all are upgrades. Some are Captains moving from one position to another
