Here's the delivery schedule through 2013. Take the number of tails to add in any given year and multiply by 13 to approximate the number of new pilots/year:

2009-10
2010-9
2011-5
2012-14
2013-6

I suspect some of the ones in 2012 will actually come in 2011 to even out the deliveries.

Daveg,

Now... I might be a bit loaded right now (day off) ... but that there son sounds like a bit of a jab from the peanut gallery.

Let me be the first to tell you to go (have relations with a panda)!

Have a nice day.

Triple j, I'm not sure what point Daveg was making but I'd rather not have him do you know what to himself. In honor of the Olympics I'd rather have him do you know what to a Giant Panda...makes for better optics.

Daveg;

It's called a schedule around here, and it's pronounced skedule, not shedule.

Just because you're not paranoid, doesn't mean no-one's out to get you.

Is a shedule anything like foxy boxing? I'd kinda like to see that.

The courses are still going but the hiring department said in a memo that they had the slots filled until fall and would start interviews again then. DaveP needs time to drink beer and BBQ this summer too.

Hi Guys,

The interviews have just started again. I anticipate them to be slow at first with only a couple dates in August and September and then weekly come October and November. We had originally finished hiring for 2008, however we added a course over the summer.

Courses for 2009 will begin early in January and run every 3 weeks. The majority of new deliveries will be in the first half of the year meaning most of the hiring will be done during the first half of the year as well.

Hope this helps,

Yes I had a beer or two and plenty of BBQ in Sioux Lookout after flipping around in the ol' DHC2! Now - back to the grind.

Dave.

Hi Dave P. Are the Wednesday hangar tours going to start again in September? And if so, will you be around?

Thanks
