When you say Jazz lifer, are we talking pre 2015 hire?

Like not wanting to switch employers but forced to because of the sinking ship that Jazz has become.

I get that but I’m asking specifically are you talking pre 2015 hires, I’m a lifer and don’t want to switch but I’m also very much too old to be switching unless “forced” ie; sunk, not “sinking” that’s all speculation at this point. I believe Jazz will be around, in a smaller form but not gone.
Pre 2015 hires jumping ship, other than a small amount would surprise me based on the information that is available.

Don't think in this specific class but a bunch I worked with have left or are considering it but they have to be DOH in the 2010s.

What will you bring to WestJet's workplace culture?

Ever been in an accident/incident/failed a ride/needed additional training/etc

Tell me about your most challenging flight

Tell me a time when a decision you made was challenged by someone

Tell me a time when you made a mistake and corrected it
Anything technical, from the aircraft you fly and so on?

Says 90 min interview. Was just wondering why?

It’s possible they are waiting to see what class to slot you in. Or it’s also possible the offer isn’t coming. Reference check does not mean letter of offer.

Good luck though! I’m sure you’ll hear back soon!

Always a good idea to follow up with your references to ensure the email has been received and the check completed in a timely manner.

One of my 3 references took his sweet time, didn’t respond till day 12 post interview when I got the reference request. He responded after I politely reminded him and 20 mins later WestJet called and offered me a job.

Congrats and Welcome.

One of the big attractions we have now is our new hires having the ability to choose their base of preference out of the gate.

Doesn't look like the question about experience levels was answered. Any idea what the level of experience is in the new classes? (And yes I have a pulse, I think :lol: ).

One of my colleagues just got in with 2500 Hrs and ATPL. But he just mentioned someone with 2000hrs he knows was placed in pool.
