They are opening up a YZZ base and looking for new recruits. I had an interview a week ago, but haven't heard from them back. I guess I didn't make it to the short list.

It took them longer than a week to come back to me with the offer letter. I don't know what is your experience but they are pretty desperate for pilots right now (who isn't ?), they hired a lot of guys who didn't fly in years. Heard from a training captain they even recently hired a 700h guy. I am sure they will send you an offer soon.

I saw their job ad not too long ago requiring a Canadian Passport which might be one of the reasons why they never gave any feedback. However, that ad was deleted right away and reposted saying that now they require a Canadian passport or Work permit. I believe by law they can not discriminate based on your citizenship. But I think it is easier to get TSA Approval if you're Canadian.

Can’t speak towards WestJet but with Lynx… flew with them last week on a YUL-YYT return YUL.

6-7 hour delay on the outbound and a 4-5 delay on the way back. Can’t say I was impressed by the lack of OTP, both caused by crewing issues… Lovely gate agents and the stews on board although very “green” to the industry were top notch! (Even though no bottles of scotch were available for purchase! )

They always are kinda late to answer. They did the same with me, eventually received an offer.

Good to hear thanks. Which class were you with?

Same thing - interviewed on 19 June. Thought it went quite well, and was told I'd hear back within a couple of days. Maybe there are some changes going on in the background... CEO stepping down now.

[danno]

Well we will see, I will post when I hear, thanks.

[DWS]

If you haven't heard anything yet, contact the person who arranged the interview. Things are very busy at the moment. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Hi folks!
Same situation, I had the first stage video interview and HR said that we can move forward to stage two. He said that he will reach me with available days and times for in-person interview by friday (today) but I still have nothing on my email. Hope that they didn’t change their opinion.
Maybe someone can share what kind of questions should I expect during in-person interview with pilots? Highly appreciate all recommendations.

Almost similar situation, all went smooth and good but not heard from them, not even a PFO unfortunately! It's been close to three months now!
Their hiring process isn't the greatest!

I finally heard back from a 705 ops (Lynx) I applied to, I was super pumped.
Has anyone had any luck with rescheduling the virtual interview meeting?
I didn’t attend, the gentleman I was corresponding with is ignoring me now.
Hope I didn’t sabotage my chances to interview.
