In regards to the bases, You can bank on YYZ and YUL first and second. Followed by YYC and YVR next, YHZ is still full at this time. For aircraft you can be on the Dash 8 or the RJ. Depends on what you pull for seniority.

Hope this helps.

Generally they like to keep that sort of thing a secret until the 1st your groundschool. :wink:

Uh, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead pick your aircraft & base 2 minutes after you pull your segniority number, 'kay? We, um, lost some people this week and uh, we need to sort of play catch-up. Thanks."

I just had my sim eval last thursday and had a blast. The guys working as cojoe's and the coordinators were awesome. I thought it went well, anyway. Now it's a week later and I haven't heard a peep. What is the normal wait time for those of you whom have been called for the medical? I know people that were called the very next day after the sim, others had to wait 2-4 days.

You are on the AC Jazz forum,and yes, we are recruiting for RP positions on the 705, nobody here has ever had to fly a leg over 2 hours and we just can't handle it!! Actually I think the 705 is soon going to be going to Stony so that will make things easier for you. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I've done the interview and sim. Ive got 1900hrs with 1200 multi-turbine and 530 PIC (single). I have some friends who were hired with around 1600hrs, again mostly multi or PIC. But i know others who got the call with no multi (i.e pc12). My resume had 2 views on workopolis as well.
