Encore interview request

[Dyna]

No company is going to waste their time interviewing you unless they want to hire you. Show up prepared and give an honest presentation of who you are and why you want to work there. Getting an invite to the interview is huge, what happens next is largely on you.

Best of luck.

Thanks! It went well imo. They called references the next day. It’s been about a week so now waiting to hear something. The nerves are on!

did you have to be a dickhead? Contgrats op!

[Maskless1]

Heyyyy encore sure beats moving up north.

With everyone leaving for AC, flow might be a lot quicker than expected for todays hires, if they can staff planes of course hahah.

[goingmissed]

did you have to be a dickhead? Contgrats op!

Some people are Jazz/AC heads who think everyone else is beneath them.

Some are ex-Encore pilots who have a legitimate reason to dislike baby-blue.

Some are jealous that they were PFO'd.


Your experience with Encore may vary, but there are many of us who are pretty happy where we are right now, even if we want certain improvements.

What a difference a day makes. Today's announcement has been a real shot in the back.

[Mac08]

Doesn’t surprise me.

Westjet management has no clue.

Can I ask what changed how you feel in a day? The announcement of moving more Qs to the west?

Pretty sure he's Encore YYZ base which from how I took the article is going bye bye. Encore will be moved west.

I fail to see how that is going to help the airline? Jazz and porter will just fill in and this will allow them to grow more aggressively

I'm sure they will.

But as an Encore employee YYZ based hearing that all your flying is going out west when your life is in YYZ is not exactly the best feeling.

Absolutely. To add insult to injury, the way I interpreted the words of our new CEO is that AC has beat us in the east and the Flair and Lynx are a serious threat in the west. He refuses to name Air Canada by name, only referring to them as "Big Red", and had also called Flair and Lynx as "the idiots eating our lunch". I am having trouble remembering the exact wording, but the word "idiots" and the idea that they were eating a meal which represented our market share was the concept being portrayed.

It hurts to put your soul into a company that, with the flip of a switch, turns around and tells you how unimportant you are.

Our CEO stated that he knows that there are tensions between the employees and the company. He followed that with an analogy about going to therapy with your spouse and needing to look at yourself instead of blaming each other. He seems to forget that there is a power imbalance here and that we are not husband and wife, but instead employer and employee. The company sets the rules and we are expected to follow them.

To sum it up, my negative feelings come from the constant uncertainty I am experiencing and the now overt condescension from the top.

The idiots having lunch over at "Not quite yet Big Green" have 3 bases in southern Ontario and are actively recruiting Q400 pilots

Honestly man, I think all Westjet people within the last 10 or so years agree and have just accepted it. Not the same Westjet as before. That's just how they are now.

[GRK2]

What's that old saying? Oh yeah..."NO loyalty in aviation shall go unpunished."

[doiwannabeapilot]

I didn't sense any condescension.

Referring to them as Big Red is nothing new, not sure how long you've been with the company. Did it bother you 5 years ago when they refused to say AC. It's just a part of their mindset, it's not a strange concept.

Grooming, acting as a step in flight attendant, loading bags should probably bother you more. Next, pilots will help with servicing the lav. Nothing is wrong with these duties but the general rule of thought is those are duties that someone else can be employed to do. You are eventually taking employment from someone else if you do these duties all the time.

You do realize the company does not exist to serve you.
It does not revolve around you or your pilot dreams.
Yes the company sets the rules and you follow them.
Welcome to being an employee.
These are general principles about any job in any industry.

If you want to know how important the typical person is to the typical job.......put your finger in a glass of water.....pull it out....watch the spot where your finger was....
..you/they will be replaced that quickly.
And that's ok.

If you disagree with the company's strategy. Maybe get an MBA and go be an airline executive somewhere. Or start your own airline and you can make the rules.

Just fly the plane.

Try not to do the typical Q landing and keep the cabin temperature comfortable. There are paying passengers back there.

He called competition idiots. So?
He used a metaphor for market share. And?

Sounds like you got a lot of hurt feelings. Sorry.
I don't want them to care about my feelings. I want a profitable company and all that would come with that.

I have an interview coming up. Just wondering if anyone has any pointers for it. For anybody that recently got interviewed, how long was the wait to get an offer and to start ground school?
