LOL @ six.
In Limbo, i can teach you french if you want
You need to know how to make an announcement to pax over the p/a in french and that is it, if i am not mistaken
Why don't you apply and see what they say to you? Most the pilots i had the pleasure to work with, are great folks.
I had met one or two who aren't fluent in French.(you can take courses that the company reimburse you after, if you want.)
Good luck to all and hope to see some of you in the air soon! Don't worry i'll bring you the best coffee ever if i work R-1.

Oui c'est ça oldebloke. Mais, j'espère qu'elle ne peut pas lire ceci
!! En tout cas, elle mange seulement les nourritures pour supporter sa corpse parfait
mmmmmmmmmmm
Anyway, I wish the topic starter the best. My dreams will become reality once the ATPL / IFR Multi are done, and a few more hours built..and I'll be in Canada too

I know this may wind some of you up, but, why the requirement for ANY French.
Isn't Canada Bilingual? Don't you have a choice?
Is the fact you can or can't make a P.A. in EITHER language the determining factor at this charter airline??? It would be nice to know in advance what goes on on the flight deck at TS.
Good luck to those who want to play that game.

In Limbo,
Pas de probleme, we can start whenever you can.
Willie,
Since our country is bilingual, they need to put it in their ad that they require fr/eng. If you look at any job postings related to airlines, nowadays, they all put the word "bilingual", nothing new here.
Like i say, if people want to apply, they can apply and see from there. It doesn't hurt to send an email with a resume, does it?

Like they say, you can't win the lottery without a ticket and if you want to fly for a good airline, you won't get the job unless you apply.
But, c'mon. Learning french just to make a P.A.??? Does that make sense to you? Whether it's TS or AC?
I don't think so.
...just my opinion.

I was just joking on the P/A part (I don't know why they ask for being bilingual, maybe it's a new thing they have to write on the job posting?)
It's just that now most of my colleagues do offer flignt infos to the pax in both language. If one of them can't, i'm sure the other one will help. I find it great that now pilots offer some infos about the flight.
I've flown with very nice pilots and i think they are happy to fly too. I also have some good laughs with some of them and i'm quite happy when i'm able to work the front. I think we have great people out there and i like the work atmosphere i'm in.
Good luck to all of you who apply and hope to see you soon on board!

I'm sure anyone joining TS will be thrilled at the opportunity. The persons I know at TS are great and seem to really enjoy their jobs. And the best part is their route structure. It's hard to find such a mix of flying AND it's all wide body. n'est pas?
Quality people with the right quals and ex are sure to get on well in the TS family regardless of base.
I just find it hard to believe that anyone would go out and try to learn a whole new language just to accomodate P.A.s. Besides, if anyone is just catching on to that notion, it's a little late.
With the present pilot hiring going on around here, I don't think TS or any of the other players can get carried away with qualification and experience statements. It only serves to further reduce the pool of available and suitably qualified pilots.

Bien sur Willie,
Nous avons 3 A-330-200 et 1 A-330-300 plus 10 A-310-300.
Some 310's were from EK and the remaining are from Happag Lloyd.
I'm sure that applicants will keep us posted on whether they were invited for an interview or not.
Joyeux Noel a tous.

Wow. All the sudden, everyone can speak french. Don't kid yourselves, french IS a requirement. Very few have made it in without it. The company would have to be strapped for pilots and only after exhausting the french pool would they consider hiring anglos only. You would have to make some commitment to learning the language. Then they would have to get permition from the language nazi police in Quebec City to hire the anglos.
This could very well all be changed as my info is from long ago.
One more thing, I don't know if they have changed the contract, but not long ago they use to consider a layover as part of your monthly time off. Ouch. N'est pas?

Brucelee,
Not as i am aware off the layover part of their block time hrs. I will ask them next time i fly.
And for your information i know at least about 4 colleagues who don't speak french and were hired to fly on the A- 330. I guess we will have to wait and see how went the interviews with some of you who applied.
(Also if i were you, i wouldn't use the word nazi here... You never know who you may offense, just my 0.02 euros.)
Fly safe.
