Yea YWG was the last 320 ETOPS base, but it’s apples to oranges this time around

Previously only a couple 319’s were ETOPS - with the XLR it’ll be 30 fins or so

Tricky to bid when going off rumours! I can see the logic behind YUL being ETOPS - but for those who want to avoid night transatlantic flying it would be nice to know if the plan is exclusively Europe for YUL pilots or a mixed bag of some domestic stuff too

I think it will be a mix for YUL pilots, it still is a mainline 320 base.

500+ pic on “heavy” multi, (can’t remember the specific weight they listed on the question)

IIRC it's 12566 lbs. over which is a "large" aircraft by definition.

BE02 but not BE20

SW4/5 but not SW3

ETC.

I ticked those boxes (but with a bachelor’s degree)and got an email asking for interview dates in ~2 days. Maybe check your junk mail? My buddy was right at the 2000 hour mark and it took a bit longer but certainly not 2 months.

Edit: slightly different now that I think of it, I used 500+ PIC multi-pilot large turbine aircraft or something to that effect. Whatever the highest option was.

Just checked. The box is “500+ pic on a multi engine plane with a ramp weight over 33,000lbs”

Ya, seems we had similar applications. Checked my junk and what not… Ah well haha.
