Air Canada Jazz
Why are Air Canada Jazz hiring requirements "tighter" than regular Air Canada?
Air Canada Jazz requires you to have a Airline Transport Pilot License, while regular Air Canada, just requires you to have a Commercial License.Why is this?
Also... Air Canada Jazz requires you to have have a minimum of 1,500 hours fixed wing flight experience, while regular Air Canada, just a 1000.
Air Canada Jazz requires you to have a 1,000 Pilot In Command, while Air Canada, none. And Air Canada Jazz requires you to have 500Hrs multi-engine, while Air Canada, requires none.
Why is this, is it because regional airlines have a bad record?

Hr5900
I am at 600TT currently and just had a thought - should I try and find a '121' flying job in Canada? Would I be able to get hired at Jazz with 1000TT/100ME and fly for a while and then come back here when I have the 121 mins after HR5900 goes through?
I guess what it boils down to is if I could get hired at Jazz as a low time pilot, if I could get my FAA certificates transferred and obtain a right to work in Canada.
Anyone have experience with this? Any insights on hiring at Jazz?
Thanks!

Converting your FAA certs to canadian is rather simple. Getting the right to work in Canada is the hardest part. Not very familiar with the process, but many times the Canadian government wants you to have a job offer already. The airlines won't touch you without the right to work....sort of a catch 22. If anyone else has any more (and more informed input) please share.

1)If you have the right to work in Canada, then 2) you have an uphill battle. Competitive is going to be a lot more than what is here in the states frankly due to lack of options. Most Canadians go overseas to gain hours and return to Canada when they have enough time.
I think you may be thinking Canada=Africa, Random cargo in Africa might hire you with 600. Canada not a chance.

I don't think I had my yet CFI when this thread was started.

I said when I have 1000TT/100ME - similar to what SkyWest's mins were before the HR5900 went into effect.
It was all predicated on the following website I stumbled across:
