Pilot Pool and Future GS

[RegionalPilot]

Simple question here. How will the company treat the people that were already in the pool and/or assigned a GS before april 2020?

Can we be hopeful to see those in there be prioritize over whoever else that would be starting the hiring process from scratch at that point? I’m thinking college graduates per example. Let’s assume 2023 is the year it starts again.

Thanks!

I believe the exact wording from HR in March 2020 was... "we regret to inform you that your training and employment with Jazz Aviation LP has been postponed indefinitely"

Open to interpretation as to how they will honor this if they ever start hiring again.

My guess is that Jazz will repopulate the pool and choose the best candidates to offer employment. There is no way Jazz will pretend that 3 years go by and ignore more experienced applicants. How Jazz intends to honour aviation college streaming obligations is another matter.

As for those on cancelled courses with no seniority number - that is a moral obligation not a contractual nor legal one. Hopefully Jazz will revalidate the offers as this represents a very small cadre of pilots (1 course?).

This is all a non-issue for some time to come. There are still over 580 Jazz pilots on layoff/CEWS.

MAR 30 and APR 13 GS classes were filled. MAR 14 GS was halted midway thru the 2 weeks.

Well then they have a number so they're fine

My point was for the guys and gals in MAR 30 and APR 13.

I really like what you said Rudder... It’s somekind of a moral obligation to give those 2 groups an offer when the time comes. I know at least one person in that group that wasn’t able to find work as a pilot since it happened, it would be hard for that guy to compete against everyone that went back to their 703 jobs and kept building hours/experience.

A “moral obligation”?

That’s cute. Hint: Capitalism doesn’t work that way. Sorry!

Sadly I expect all that do not have a Jazz ALPA seniority number (ie started day 1 at Jazz) will have to reapply through the portal once hiring begins again in.....2022/23? Hopefully Jazz HR reaches out to those assigned a GS from March April 2020, but no guess if that will happen.

The language used by HR was that our training (and I assume that means our ground schools) have been postponed indefinitely. Hopefully that means they’ll reach out to us when that time comes.

Postponed doesn't mean cancelled just delayed for a period of time, but indefinitely is really open ended like unlimited or unspecified.

That fateful email also stated "We will retain your profile in our database and be in contact with you should circumstances change."

So does that mean (for those who had inital start dates from March/April 2020) starting the whole process over again or eventually getting a call from HR saying come on down for GS if you are still interested....who knows as there has been 0 communication from them in the past 15 months since COVID hit.
