Min time at Jazz before applying to AC?

[oakmoss1889]

Do you need to put in a minimum amount of time at Jazz before you can apply to AC with the flow through? Or could you in theory apply on day 1 of Jazz if you meet the 2000hr ATPL requirements?

The flow thing says you need 2 years at Jazz before being eligible for AC. The way I understand it, you can theorically apply on day 1 eventually do the interview process and all, but you may not get the job before the 2 year mark.

Your interview at Jazz should be your “AC” interview. Put an HR and/or Chief Pilots from mainline (with veto rights) on the Jazz interview panel. If you are good enough to fly AC pax around several times a day into YYT hand flying Cat 3 ILS or landing a Q400 three times a day into the postage stamp that is Toronto Island or an RNP into Castlegar or three YYZ-LGA turns a day I’m pretty sure you can be an relief pilot flying 10 days a month

The HR Department scoffs at your sensible idea.

Yup! 100% agree. We are "Air Canada" as far as the flying public is concerned. It's as simple as that. If that wasn't the case, we wouldn't have the same uniforms (minus the hat / wings logo) or the "Maple Leaf" painted on our planes... with the words "Air Canada (Express)"...

Air Canada has had a very good partnership with Jazz and we have their full trust. Jazz pilots have proven to be very professional, equal to mainline pilots, when it comes to safety and professionalism. From that point of view, I'm quite proud of the way we carry ourselves. I truly hope to see a day when there will be no more interviews for mainline (if you're a Jazz pilot).

Well how else can AC pilots show they're better than Jazz
