Does anybody know if they are planning to interview people in the coming weeks/months after this posting and if there are GS planned for the coming month?
Cheers

There is a shortage of qualified pilots, hence the need to hire low hour pilots. The training departments across the industry are working hard to modify training programs from teaching people with more experience to less.
We're between a hard place and a rock and it's quite uncomfortable.

Re: Encore Hiring 250 hour First Officers....
Well... A wage shortage probably started the pilot shortage. If WJ/Encore could only hire pilots with ATPL’s. Overnight they have to offer incentives to get Pilots. Thus improving pay.
At least post COVID..... maybe not now

Re: Encore Hiring 250 hour First Officers....
Have any 250 hr pilots heard back from HR? As of Jan 2022, there was a training program for low time pilots in the works. Any update on that?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Re: Encore Hiring 250 hour First Officers....
I doubt it. With the number of people with a couple thousand hours of experience that are still looking for jobs, I don't think we'll see 250 hour pilots being considered until late 2023 or early 2024 at the earliest.
I do believe that the special training program for these super-low experience pilots is still in the works, but based on the performance of the Encore training department recently, I think that they'll do an amazing job.
Re: Encore Hiring 250 hour First Officers....
I don't consider there's a shortage in Canada, supply of new pilot is more than demand far away and always.
Re: Encore Hiring 250 hour First Officers....
Any update on Encore hiring 250 TT FOs? Is the training program approved?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Encore is not hiring 250 hour pilots. They are accepting applications from them without an immediate PFO.
With the experience that is rapidly leaving Encore, a 250 hour cadet is a recipe for a literal disaster.

Re: Encore Hiring 250 hour First Officers....
Mainline is struggling to hire people with 1500 hours, so I very much expect 250 for an FO will be happening very soon. There’s no one else to hire. Anyone with 1000 hours plus likely has enough experience in the industry already to realize that Encore is a dead end job and to hold out for mainline or try for Jazz/Porter/Flair/literally anywhere else.
Re: Encore Hiring 250 hour First Officers....
Do you (or anyone else) know whether mainline has hired 1500+ hr pilots who had no turbine time?Canadaflyer46 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 11:32 am Mainline is struggling to hire people with 1500 hours, so I very much expect 250 for an FO will be happening very soon.
