Latest Position Bid

[The Vault]

The bid actually shows vacancies for 96 new hires.

Personnally, I would expect over 100 new hires this year as I am sure Jazz will loose some ppl for AC/Westjet/Transat... Just my guess!

Here's a scenario. Lets say for those in GS right now...they are only allowed to choose from YVR or YYC Dash 8.

Three months down the road...the next new hire class is offered YYZ/YUL Dash 8. Would those who were in the previous class be able to bid back out east due sen #???

Those assigned say YYC in the current ground school are assigned the YYC base. You can complete a standing bid to state your preference of base assignment and the company can use that to assign you in the event of a vacancy between Equipment Bids. Ideally if you don't want YYC you can try and find someone to trade with, though it will not happen quickly.

Just for curiosity, when was the lowest capt hired (YYZ CRJ and YUL DH-8). Have any of the newer hires (2005) been upgraded yet?

[habs]

Most junior captain hired in 2006

[Bede]

That's great! What position and base is that?

[teacher]

YYZ DH8 I believe.

[Flying Low]

Actually...YUL DH8 by about 8 numbers.

[Localizer]

There are left seat 2006 hires in YYZ and YUL.

Does anyone at Jazz currently know what the chances are for a new hire to slip into a YHZ spot?

[flyinhigh]

about a 10% chance. It'll take awhile but you could get it eventually.

Based on the flying out there though, you don't want YHZ based. They do to much of that thing called work

Hello:
I did the Medical 10 days ago and am starting to get a bit worried. Up until now I got a call 2 days after each step. Does it usually take this long?

[Benito]

Same thing for me Flytheline, I talk to the HR yesterday and they told me not to worry, they are currently doing the verifications with the references and we should get some news in the next days.

[FlyTheLine]

Thank you!
It is nice to know that I am not the only one in this situation. Good luck!!

[habs]

Don't worry too much guys....the company is a little overwhelmed right now planning for all this.

[dream_big]

yes I wouldn't worry. It could take up to 2 weeks between some steps so just relax and wait for the offer to come! good luck

Hey SlumpBust,

After all the moving around this recent equipment bid, YHZ base was about the only place where there were not any openings. There are also a few guys around the country that would like to go back when they have a few guys below them on the totem pole. Meaning the guy at the bottom may stay at the bottom even as positions open.
Not to discourage you, because anything is possible. And it may take you a year or 2, but it's the hardest base to get to.
Also, unless you're all starry-eyed over some New Waterford beauty, YHZ-YQY is going to get pretty old...
Good luck

If anybody here is curently on the Feb 14 GS, I would like to know what king of positions were available after the draw.

Thanks.

[Green Onions]

YYC Dash for the whole class....

[Mig29]

Deja vu I guess ....but "mini bid" will help out as soon as the next class gets hired!

[FlyTheLine]

Hey Everyone:

I got hired for the March 28 GS and was wondering what the chances of getting a spot in YYC would be? I am sure this has already been answered but just wanted to confirm.

Is this a joke or did you not bother to read the 2 post directly above yours?

[Mig29]

[FlyTheLine]

Haha I did look at them, I guess I sounded a little bit stupid I just thought they might have been joking, the whole class is going to be YYC... Well that is good news then!

[Scuba_Steve]

I think since there are over 25 spots in YYC at the moment, even if every single person on the next two GS classes wanted to stay in YYC you'll get a spot.

Congrats
