Canada tends to follow American culture eventually. If they are shaking off DEI so will we. It's going to be awkward sharing the flight deck with obvious DEI hires going forward.

I know a couple DEI hires and they all know it's BS too. But if the airlines offer them jobs with an accelerated career path, no one would turn that down. They're not going to handicap themselves just because more qualified white males are getting bypassed by them because of their gender and ethnic background. We all know it's not fair but it's not the DEI new hires that are pushing that agenda, it's progressive HR departments throughout the country which thankfully is being rolled back a bit.

That form of hiring is pretty obvious at Air Canada and Jazz. Air Georgian was the worst with its objective of hiring 50% female crews regardless of experience or qualifications. Encouraging women, aboriginals and ethnic minorities to get into aviation is great, but handing them free jobs when they're not qualified is not the answer and will result in getting people killed.

That is because DEI was never really about helping anyone. It's about keeping wages low. Do you really think these corporations cared about helping minorities?

Happy Halloween!

Recently moved to Canada to be with partner and got my ATPL here.
Applied to AC around end of August but yet to hear back from them.
I have more than 4000 hours of airline/military experience outside of Canada, none in Canada.
Has anyone applied and heard back from AC over the last couple of months, or does it take longer to hear back from them?
Do you have proof for all the hours you've flown? That means letters from your previous employers/CAA/Military.

Not all Licences are equal. I can think of 2 countries where fake hours/Licences are a real issue (not accusing you of anything).

Your best option is to fly a few years for any company in Canada - those hours will help you. Jmho.

All my logbooks are certified by the Chief Pilot from my previous airlines.
I also have official letters from them to proof my hours. That's 3500 hrs on jet. Zero response.
I am currently flying with another airline in Canada. Recently sent an email to update AC and ask about my application, all they said was it is still active in the system.

It’s probably because your logbooks are certified. If they are stamped, it’s suspicious. Try losing a few pages due to a wakeboarding incident or something creative.

I suggest less letters to them and just wait.

You are better off where you are. We aren't flying much anymore. You would come just to be laid off.

No layoffs, 1 PIT course a month for the summer, and back to 2 per month in the fall.
