Nice, congrats! Hope you get it.
Internal reference? I was told by a source that they’re going through that list first. And are you presently flying?

No internal reference. And I know a couple other people that got interviews without it too. Yes, I currently fly the dash.

Cheers

Currently flying and that, too, the dash is definitely a huge plus! I’m at 1300 hours with ATPLs written but not flying presently.

Good luck to everyone that applied.

I interviewed mid january with 1650 TT, ATPL currently being processed by TC, 1300 PIC and 100 ME. I think if you have As written and anything above 1200-1300 hours, you could be called for an interview.

On a side note, does anyone who has interviewed in january gotten any response yet?

The 1000-1500 TT range hours candidates being interviewed have internal references from my understanding, otherwise, it's about 1500 TT atpl or something like that I think. Let's be patient ! ;) Good luck to all!

From a colleague, new hires, mostly internal recommends, with a few that have yet to be offered:

14 in Jan, 18 in Feb, 18 in Mar, 18 scheduled in early May and another 18 late May.

Anyone who has interviewed will get a response, but it maybe delayed (up to a month) due to ramping up operations, hired extra personnel to help out.

Currently looking for candidates with a least 1200TT or more, interviewing another 30 next week.
Received 600+ application since posting went up. 150+ referrals
