Hibypass. It's not easy to tell at this point who AC will hire.It seems that we'll have to wait for the first batch to go through and even then things may change along the way. In my opinion, given the large number of pilots required, anyone with some turbine time may eventually get a chance. Many pilots in this country with high time enjoy where they are and don't whant to leave or leaving is not feasable. The entry level position at AC is not for everyone anymore. This might give the rest a good chance to make it. Only my opinion. Patience and determination have always been a requirement in this industry.
Meaw. Management is aiming for a July course. Training dep is already swamped with the recalls and upgrades and new EMB training so I don't know if they can do it by July.
