Re: New hire bids
When do new hires get posted to the seniority list? Is it as soon as possible, or once they get their line check done? Would someone that got his plane 3 days ago show up on the March seniority list?

Re: New hire bids
There is no such thing as a "March" seniority list. The seniority list only gets updated once every January. The soonest they'll see their name on anything is in the next bid in April, or once they are assinged an aircraft and base they'll appear on that aircraft's elegibility list on Report Link.RoAF-Mig21 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 9:17 pm When do new hires get posted to the seniority list?

Hmm. Sounds like this is in the wrong sub forum.

Depending who got hired first?
Re: New hire bids
Depends on what it is you don't want. If it's your base, that is a non-issue because you will more than likely be awarded your base of choice before the end of training.Roundel Randy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 8:51 amIf you end up with something you don't want, when is the earliest you can switch?

If it is the equipment, you will be subject to an equipment freeze for 48 months,. The only exception is if you get awarded the E75 and want to move to YVR or YYC, in this case you would be released from your freeze after 24 months because there are no E75 based in the west.
The only other way to get released from your freeze is to bid a CA seat on your desired equipment, but beware that there are quite a few that have found making the move to the left seat on a new type somewhat challenging. Many (including me) will recommend to either switch type in same position then upgrade, OR upgrade on your current equipment and THEN switch type.
All that said, there are no "more desirable" equipment at Jazz; all types have something to offer and also have their inconveniences. Best is to make the most of it rather than remain bitter and twisted because you didn't get the type you wanted. That is a sure recipe to be miserable.

Re: New hire bids
Bid the e175. By far the best aircraft at jazz. Unless you want a Yyc or yvr base.

It's more of a base issue for family reasons. Thanks for explaining the process though.Outlaw58 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 9:33 amDepends on what it is you don't want.

Re: New hire bids
Also westjet is hiring for Yyc base. And cargojet for yvr. Double the pay too, unless you are set on jazz.
Re: New hire bids
Depends where you live but if you want to stay out west and be home more u can't go wrong with the Q as you do layovers in BC/AB and lots of people go home during that time. So the time you spend commuting comes back because you'll have layovers at home. But then again why apply there when there is lots of better options at the moment.Roundel Randy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 19, 2023 5:38 pmI would like YYC preferably or YVR because my wife and kids live out West.

Does anyone know how long it is from when someone applies to when they might be contacted?
