Inuksuk,
Just when I thought this thread was dead, more awesome info.
Like I mentioned before, I received an email from the company requesting to update my e-application. From what I understand, not everyone received the same email. I can only keep my fingers crossed that that is a good sign.
I have well over the "min" hours stated on the website (4300), with a fair chunk of ME turbine >12.5 time. I am daydreaming about an interview by the fall.
I went to an professional aviation programme (and graduated), and managed to complete a degree as well. I am hoping that will help me get to the interview. I'm only 31 too.
It sounds like the first interview with the HR contractor will be the wild card. Be interesting to hear some feedback from the first interviewees.
RP on a heavy would be awesome. Get to see some new parts of the world that I havn't seen before and I suspect there would be a fair bit of time off, too.
