flipside · Post by **flipside** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 11:51 am

just wondering anyone know if Westjet is or has interviewed anyone with experience in the 3000-4000 range or are they still looking for 5000 hour drivers

I know a 3500-3600 hr guy. 1000 hrs jet experience though.

Most guys I know getting interviews are in the 4500-5500 hrs group, with airline experience (Some with jet time).

have you heard anything yet from a month ago? I got 3800 all multi IFR with 2500 airline experience in Dash8, CAR705, FMS. Just wondering who will call first if all is good AC or Westjet

I was told I would get a call in 1 week, and then a week later with a yes or no (at WJ). Did they say the same to you?

My 3500 hr friend got on. I guess there is hope for us lower time pilots

Anyone know of how the hiring is going at Westjet these days I've heard it has just slowed down to allow the new hires to trickle in internally. How many hires they need for the end of the year? How often are the ground schools? How many poeple in the classes?

Not quite that high 2low. We got an email today saying 134 for 2007 and probably close to the same for next year. Classes vary from 12 to 10 and 8's. Courses every 3 weeks.

Is that 137 total this year, or 137 from now til the end of 07?

Total of 134 for the year.

Just had the interview this morning. I then got the tour around the place and it was amazing. I think I could have ate off the hangar floor. Very professional, hope I get the job.
