I believe right now VAC might not be screening anyone with PARC, as PARC is playing hardball with them. Trust me, this is a good thing, and PARC will fight to support you the same way once on contract .
Most of the new pilots are coming here with DPI. DPI seems to treat their pilots well, but got their foot in the door at VAC by underbidding the contract, resulting in lower pay and benefits for new pilots.
If you can wait a few months, I would wait for Parc. If pilots hold off, and don't go with DPI, VAC will be forced to give in to Parc.
Avoid Rishworth at all costs. They will lie to you from the recruitment process, to the day you leave the contract. Absolute scum. They have been scum for 25 years, I failed to do my due diligence on them and signed with them 18 months ago. I just corrected that mistake.
Good luck to all
