Encore hiring 2026

[careerpilot?]

Hi there, I was wondering if you did your hirevue already? And how did it go? I’ve mine coming up soon. Did you get any technical questions?

Yes, and it apparently went well enough to progress to the interview stage!

Nothing technical, kind of get to know you stuff, a bit of your background, a "what would you do" scenario, etc.

I got a lot of good info off a few other threads in this forum sub-topic.

Good luck! Ask chatGPT to explain to you the Star method of interview questions. It’s very structured and HR people get horny when you follow an acronym. It’ll help you tell stories to people that control your destiny

Thanks!

I was put into the hiring pool a couple days ago. Was told one ground school per month starting in January.

Hey Scdriver what kind of hours/experience do you have. Just trying to see what experience level gets pooled. Thanks!

Unfortunately things are winding down do to the energy situation.
400 flight cancelled for April, 1000 in May. Of those 400, 150 are encore. Bleek times are ahead.

Assuming that will impact the planned monthly Ground schools for new FOs at encore? Are the ones already planned for next few months being cancelled?

If operations are winding down, and there are talks of LOA and layoffs, the last thing the pilot group/management/ALPA would be thinking about is future grounds school dates. Just saying.

Are they actually talking layoffs or is this speculation? It would probably be pretty short sighted to cut the workforce with the busy summer period coming up, for something that should be a relatively temporary situation. I cannot see this current situation going for months…

[GetAGripen]

Complete speculation. But when bad news drops they don't give us notice.

May was cancelled due to the jet fuel prices, no course for June. I’ve signed an offer for the next course in July.
