I applied 3 times at around 2300-2400 TT. Never got a call
I also don’t speak French so maybe that’s why..?

That's plenty for Sunwing these days ... probably 1,000 hours more than needed :rolleyes:

If you went to an aviation degree program you shouldn’t have an issue with those hours, I have not heard of anybody getting hired under 1500 hrs at SWG without a degree. 1500-2000 maybe. I am not sure about transat.

2000 is pretty much the norm pre pandemic, not sure if they're going lower now?

No need to be bilingual, being able to say a few words in french is a big plus though.

Lastly, internal references get called first, don't give up.
