Not one of my friends with any real experience has been hired by Air Canada. They can't all just be bad at interviews. I just turned down an interview, as have others I know, can't be bothered to die their skin, grow breasts, or shave 3000 hrs out of their logbook. Lately they've been getting a lot of guys hopes up, just to send them a PFO...
Personally, I think their hiring is messed up. And , by the way, there is many ways to have a great Canadian flying lifestyle, without working for AC. Its great for the guys that are happy there. And that pay group does need fixing. ACPA.
