Transat

Anyone know whats going on there these days? Heard rumours of expansion to Asia and possible adding 737s to the fleet.

Anyone got the scoop?

[TheCanuck]

Well as for asia it is a sub contract with a Japanese tour operator and it is a 5 yr contract and will run from april to october. For the 737 we will most likely get 2 to 4 next winter, but we'll see.

Cheers!!

Thanks Canuck, any idea if any hiring will happen in the new year? If so how much?

Canucklehead, is this the Japanese tour operator a founder of WestJet and and ex AC executive were working with?

[TheCanuck]

CIAS that I don't have a clue, sorry. If it is announced anytime soon we might get to know who it is for.

As for interviews there has been 2-3 rounds of interviews lately so I dont know about more in 2011 but they will hire around 35 new hires until next spring.

Transat just received designation to Turkey from Canada. Not sure if they're going to fly it any time soon, but they now have the designation.
