Air Canada
I'm a part 121 pilot here in the United States and just completed my conversion for my TC ATPL. Any thoughts about working for Air Canada? Are they still hiring and if so what does the future look like for the airline and its employee's?
Any current Air Canada employee's out there?
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

AC is a great place to work, they recently started hiring again, but not sure how long it will last. A few unknowns...price of Jet A, general health of the economy, contract negotiations and fly-past 60 currently still unresolved.
Positive factors: Canadian economy in much better shape than the States.
Also, 37 Dreamliners/787s scheduled to show up on the property in late 2013...
I encourage you to apply and see what happens..
