Apparently by now everyone that interviewed in late 2017 should have either received a phone call with an offer for a course date or an email telling them that they were dropped from the pool. If you haven't received either one, get in touch with your internal reference at Sunwing and have them contact the CP office on your behalf as your file may have somehow been lost in the shuffle and the CP wants to make sure there have been no oversights.JetA Burner wrote: ↑Tue Jun 26, 2018 8:48 pm No word on what they're doing with those of us that were pooled from December 2017 interviews? I hear some reference checks have been completed for some.
I suppose 10 July will be the tell all, if 23 July is the start date. Fingers crossed. The silence is killing us!

Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
When did you apply and how long did it take for you to hear back
Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
Did apply for the first time about 1 month ago when there was a posting.

Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
Why cadets when there are experienced pilots. Is it a ploy for the management at Sunwing to have long-term career FOs for whom it will take a long term to upgrade or be marketable elsewhere? Or are they made to sign significantly expensive bonds with the promise of flying a 737?something_generic wrote: ↑Tue Jul 10, 2018 8:20 am Info from a reliable source: 70 to 80 Pilots to be hired from Jul 2018 to Mar 2019. First GS planned Jul 23.
Plans to hire more cadets this year (over 10) . Over 40 Cpt upgrades scheduled from Jul

Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
A bit of both, actually. Plus it attracts more students to the Universities/ Colleges where Sunwing hires its cadets. I'm sure they pay a cut to Sunwing. It's a vicious circleQwertyflyboy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 5:09 pmWhy cadets when there are experienced pilots.

Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
I did a quick search, and I can't see anything about First Officer hiring requirements. I've noted the upgrade requirements, just wondering what they are looking for with respect to the right seat? I've got about 1000 hours and currently on a PC12.
Thanks for the info!

Did your 'quick search' involve looking at the actual job post? lolnorthernbeaut wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 6:20 am I did a quick search, and I can't see anything about First Officer hiring requirements.

Quoted from their website: "Minimum 2000 total pilot hours". Cheers.
Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
You certainly won't hear anything this time around. Once word got out about how quick the latest upgrades were the average experience of applicants went through the roof. Lots of 10-20k+ hour guys looking to come home along with captains from places like cargo jet. I have a few friends who applied with 4000ish hours and only one has been called for an interview so far.northernbeaut wrote: ↑Mon Jul 23, 2018 6:20 am I did a quick search, and I can't see anything about First Officer hiring requirements.

Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
anyone got call for interview lately with the positing in July?
Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
Any DEC offers?
I believe last DEC hires were late 2012 or early 2013 due minimum experience requirements for upgrade.

In twenty years time when your kids ask how you got into flying you want to be able to say "work and determination" not "I just kept taking money from your grandparents for type ratings until someone was stupid enough to give me a job"

Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
Looks like one groundschool is starting in late August for which calls have most likely already gone out. There is an additional groundschool starting Sept 10 but no names yet, so calls might not have gone out for that one.
Re: 2018 Pilot Hiring
Any one who had beeing interviewed last december and still waiting on a ground school date..with bo news?
Thank you
Thank you
