I am just wondering if anyone is currently in the hiring pool.

Management said they are planning for a new-hire ground school in August, while not 100%, there will be one in August or Sept.

Thank you very much!

Any updates or news for the August GS?

They have been extremely quiet

currently a small gs has started for august. not sure of what plans are for the future hiring.. all depends on attrition and what happens at ac

There is not a plan for a ground school in September at this time.
Attrition has slowed but will likely increase again in late summer or fall.

I guess the bond has helped.

Depends on how you look at it though...

They just started the bond's so I doubt any of the people affected by a bond are yet in a position to be moving on yet...???

There's only two people on a bond and they just started groundschool, so no, the bond hasn't done anything yet. Jazz stopped hiring so that's affected attrition at GGN a bit. Pilots are still leaving, but they're not replacing them as quickly as they are leaving.

Any of the recent hires remember any of the questions from the interview or can tell me what the psych and cog tests were like?

PM me if you want

Perhaps this is why we have bonds...

You really did your research diadem!

Maybe the PCC got cancelled....

Takamasa... Unles your from seneca with the low time program (mentor) i know they are strict on the 1500 hour rule.... Send in your application in 200 hours ....or continue building B200 time if it is the case.

You could qualify....it happened before, trust me

Good luck!

They want 1500hrs, also whats your PIC time at? They like to see decent PIC so you can upgrade as that can happen quickly. Lastly two crew time is helpful there but looks like you have some so thats a plus...you should apply and odds are once you hit 1500hrs you'll have a decent chance of getting an interview.

Agreed, people leaving within a couple months of getting a PPC is exactly why we have bonds, if we stayed at each company for 9 months to a year you wouldn't see as many bonds...and once theres a higher demand than the supply of pilots...but that is a folk tale, one that the media continues to try and convince us will happen

I totally agree with you when it comes to the folk tale... I don't believe in that big shortage of pilots in canada.... But I disagree with the bond comment.... True if guys stayed and were more loyal there wouldn't be any bonds... But if employers treated their pilots with more respect on the lower levels, and didn't expect pilots to just move on, guys would want to be more loyal... Unfortunately a vicious cycle....

There aren't many companies left now that have the confidence of not giving bonds to their pilots, because they know they treat them well and guys will stay....

Bond on-the-1900? Gimme a break! Yeah...for the Seneca dudes its still a great gig.

Ya you're right. It's ridiculous to charge a bond when it costs the company 8-10G to train you at Flight Safety. If the company has 6 candidates in each course, that's up to $48-60,000 in simulator training alone..per month.

Give your head a shake

For 27k at here and a reference letter for AC? Ahhhhh.lol
