For me it was background check, then one week went by (they called references during that week) then the next week I got the call. So from background check to get the call was around 2 weeks.SkyBagPiper wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 6:51 pm How many classes per month can we expect?

Just got the background check last week. Interviewed mid February. Medical 1 week later. So technically anything from 2 weeks to a month I assume to hear back after the background check is complete?
How long until you hear back from AC?

One suggestion I can make is, after your interview go directly to the TC office and get your flight test results from them and email them to AC, this will speed up you application.
Re: How long until you hear back from AC?
Does anyone know when they have their monthly board meeting? Also, what can one expect in the email/call? Will they offer course dates right away? Or is it going to be „you made it and we’ll keep you posted“?

They have 2 classes a month. So probably May 18th/22nd class calls will go this week and the next.
Then June classes etc…

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?
With people having notice periods longer than 1-2 weeks, how do they plan the classes? Or are they expecting you to be ready to join at a moments notice.SkyBagPiper wrote: ↑Mon Apr 24, 2023 10:29 am They have 2 classes a month. So probably May 18th/22nd class calls will go this week and the next.

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?
People can and do, there has been 0 issues filling the classes with experienced pilots. Maybe that’s the point though? Lots of Westjet employees coming through the door lately.tupues wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2023 4:32 amWith people having notice periods longer than 1-2 weeks, how do they plan the classes?

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?
If the 2 weeks notice you give your previous employer is during your days off you can start your new job right away. I wouldn't recommend giving more than 2 weeks notice. Companies will work the shit out of you during your notice period.

Unless you're on reserve, no they cant. If I had time off and a block, they can't just make me work more. In my 15+ years of flying and progression, I have never had a company work the shit out of me during my notice.

You must have flown for a good 703. Most will work ‘the suit out of you’.

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?
I was going through the forums to find updated info on AC staff travel benefits for Pilots. Couldn't find much recent info. Can someone at AC please share what the staff travel benefits are like for Pilots. Does staff travel or jumpseat benefits start on Day 1 or do you have to wait 3 or 6 months from date of hire. I am under the impression you get unlimited standby travel on AC for spouse, kids and parents, is that true? Also what are the interline partners that AC pilots can get standby travel on for spouse, kids and parents? (For example Lufthansa, Emirates etc..) I know that AC pilots can jumpseat on Porter, can they also jumpseat on other North American airlines like WestJet, Air Transat, United etc...
Thank you in advance for any info!

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?
I believe they will be available right away. As you’ll need them to commute to and from the location for the PIT and sim. Unless that’s covered by AC itself under those conditions. But I pretty sure your flight privileges are available right away.
I think it might be flight attendants which have to wait the 3 to 6 months.

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?
Wow, that must be nice. Jazz candidates have been waiting 4 months since background check. Probably will wait a lot longer.Latitude wrote: ↑Tue Apr 18, 2023 9:31 amFor me it was background check, then one week went by (they called references during that week) then the next week I got the call.

Re: How long until you hear back from AC?
You can just login to your TC account and print it out for the interview, you don't have to go to TC

You get travel benefits on AC and select airline jumpseat privileges right away. During training, you book confirmed flights on AC which are zero cost to you between your home domicile and YYZ if you choose. After 6 months you get access to MyID travel for yourself, travel partner and parents.Captain101 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2023 6:15 pm I was going through the forums to find updated info on AC staff travel benefits for Pilots.
