Interview result

[gsong]

Hi,

I had an interview with medical 1st week of November,2024 and been waiting for 10 weeks. I haven’t heard anything yet since then. Does anyone have an idea what’s going on there?
Cheers.

Sucks sounds like you arnt going to the nhl of airlines.

(Jk they say up to 12 weeks. Likely most of the groundschools are full so they notify you once a gs is available)

Yeah, I just want to know the result but they are very quiet. No e-mail, No call, No reference or background check since then. Almost reaching 12 weeks. Thanks.

No news is good news. Takes time. Most jazz guys waited 3 months to 8 months

Honestly I just heard some people interviewed in October getting callbacks a few weeks ago. Not sure that's the standard but Christmas did just happen as well. As long as you didn't get a PFO your probably still good.

Yep. I interviewed in October and just got a call for a March GS. Like you said, could have to do with the Christmas break and the recent bids that were posted so the hiring rate is slowed down I suppose. Like they say, no news is good news!

[Zhangxs]

I had the interview in January and I am still waiting for the results. I’m curious, if Air Canada decides not to move forward with my application, will they inform me formally ?

[PostmasterGeneral]

Yes. No news is good news generally speaking.

[Zhangxs]

Yes. No news is good news generally speaking.

Thank you, I hope so.

[Victor805]

Has anybody got called for the upcoming ground school? if so what was the time frame for call back since interview?
just would like to know how accurate is 8-12 weeks for a call back.

Thank you!

I interviewed in January, and by the end of February, some pilots who interviewed alongside me had already received calls. Their ground school is scheduled to begin in April.
As for me, after completing my interview and medical exam, HR requested me to obtain a U.S. crew visa. I got my U.S. visa by early March and promptly submitted it to Air Canada. Since then, I have been waiting for further information .While it is possible that my application was declined I remain optimistic—no news is good news—and I am hopeful for a positive outcome.

[jpilot77]

Here’s the thing no news is good news. How long you wait is determined by how competitive your CV is. If you have just the mins you’ll wait longer than someone who has experience as an Emirates 777 Captain who wants to return to Canada.

If your application isn't as competitive, as more people interview they will be chosen ahead of you, essentially parachuting in on top of your application. Yours might not be looked at for quite some time. My advice is to make the most of where you're flying now, and don't put your life on hold for AC.

Thank you so much for your advice, I appreciate it. This year, nearly all the airlines have slowed down the pace of recruitment, we have to be patient.

[MrAviator19]

Be patient. No news is good news. A friend of mine who was interviewed in the summer of 2024 was told to come back for a second interview which didn't happen for a while (close to winter) after the first. But eventually, it did and he got the job. So everyone who is waiting can take a breath because you're still in the game unless you specifically hear otherwise. A phone call is good, an email usually is not.

[Victor805]

Any idea what was the call back time after second interview.? did they have to go through medical and all the stuff again?

Hate to be a Debby Downer but checked roommate's training report and it looks like PIT 9 disappeared and PIT 10 says "Potential CX"
Might be a while

Advance transborder bookings are down 70% YOY, but advance capacity is down just 3.5%. That is not financially sustainable.

The Commercial departments at every carrier affected are placing bets and making capacity decisions on where this whole tariff dustup is headed. One can only assume that a ‘return to normal’ is not in the cards.

Accordingly, hiring rates may be affected.

You saved me from typing a rebuttal.... the propaganda machine is strong in Canada. Ridiculous that a 70% drop is accepted as fact. I just did a search on common city pairs into the US and they look like pretty normal April loads to me.

Even Air Canada is reported in Bloomberg today saying transborder is down 10% - a far cry from 70%

While I think 70% is an overestimation, I do believe that Bloomberg is under reporting at 10%.

I think we all need to be careful where we are getting our news in general. Avcanada is definitely the place to make our decisions.
