Application Timeline and Ground School
How long does the application process go for approximately after the campus interview?
I am reading there's approximately one GS a month. Is this true and are they filled for the remainder of 2019?

Re: Application Timeline and Ground School
Depends on your experience level. Anyone who could fill or likely fill a Direct Entry Captain spot would be moved to the top of the list. If you're nearer to 1,000 hours total time, you're in line like everyone else.How long does the application process go for approximately after the campus interview?
About that, and no from what I hear.I am reading there's approximately one GS a month. Is this true and are they filled for the remainder of 2019?

Re: Application Timeline and Ground School
Ground school class roughly every three weeks. If you have gotten a background check request, you're probably in.
Expect a ground school date between 3-10 weeks from now.
Ground school is 6 weeks in Calgary. Paid at the minimum monthly guarantee of 75 hours. If you are YYZ based, you can also expect a very generous per diem.

Re: Application Timeline and Ground School
Is this still a good estimate of the timeline?

Re: Application Timeline and Ground School
yes. I know some people that interviewed in late november, pool in dec/jan and got a call for feb. If youre getting a background check request youre most likely in. Be patient. Ground schools roughly every 2 weeks.

Is this timeline applicable to DEC as well?

Re: Application Timeline and Ground School
Yes but it will most likely be a 3-6 months in right seat so you will have an initial course unless you already have a Q400 PPC.

Re: Application Timeline and Ground School
My on campus interview was beginning of February.
I received an email this week that I was placed in the pool.
Took approx. 3 weeks.
Now I'm waiting for a ground school date.

I interviewed mid February and they told me they are hiring for the YYC base. Two GS per month from March to April. Week after the interview they called me with an offer and said if I wanted to I could start in March.
