No company is going to waste their time interviewing you unless they want to hire you. Show up prepared and give an honest presentation of who you are and why you want to work there. Getting an invite to the interview is huge, what happens next is largely on you.

Best of luck.

Thanks! It went well imo. They called references the next day. It’s been about a week so now waiting to hear something. The nerves are on!

Some people are Jazz/AC heads who think everyone else is beneath them.

Some are ex-Encore pilots who have a legitimate reason to dislike baby-blue.

Some are jealous that they were PFO'd.


Your experience with Encore may vary, but there are many of us who are pretty happy where we are right now, even if we want certain improvements.

What a difference a day makes. Today's announcement has been a real shot in the back.

Can I ask what changed how you feel in a day? The announcement of moving more Qs to the west?

Pretty sure he's Encore YYZ base which from how I took the article is going bye bye. Encore will be moved west.

I fail to see how that is going to help the airline? Jazz and porter will just fill in and this will allow them to grow more aggressively

I'm sure they will.

But as an Encore employee YYZ based hearing that all your flying is going out west when your life is in YYZ is not exactly the best feeling.

Absolutely. To add insult to injury, the way I interpreted the words of our new CEO is that AC has beat us in the east and the Flair and Lynx are a serious threat in the west. He refuses to name Air Canada by name, only referring to them as "Big Red", and had also called Flair and Lynx as "the idiots eating our lunch". I am having trouble remembering the exact wording, but the word "idiots" and the idea that they were eating a meal which represented our market share was the concept being portrayed.

It hurts to put your soul into a company that, with the flip of a switch, turns around and tells you how unimportant you are.

Our CEO stated that he knows that there are tensions between the employees and the company. He followed that with an analogy about going to therapy with your spouse and needing to look at yourself instead of blaming each other. He seems to forget that there is a power imbalance here and that we are not husband and wife, but instead employer and employee. The company sets the rules and we are expected to follow them.

To sum it up, my negative feelings come from the constant uncertainty I am experiencing and the now overt condescension from the top.

The idiots having lunch over at "Not quite yet Big Green" have 3 bases in southern Ontario and are actively recruiting Q400 pilots :mrgreen:

Honestly man, I think all Westjet people within the last 10 or so years agree and have just accepted it. Not the same Westjet as before. That's just how they are now.
