Keeping our fleet flight-ready

Many routes to success

  • We offer initial training, specialty classes and recurrent training in technical areas and on other topics such as ethics and compliance.
  • With experience, drive and determination to excel, you can move into a variety of roles, including management, inspection, quality control, fleet planning and others.
  • After gaining seniority, you'll have the opportunity to transfer to other locations within our outstanding network.
  • Flexibility and dependability are essential

  • Since this is a union position based on seniority, you will be assigned an initial schedule designed to meet our needs at the airport.
  • You must be available for any shift within a 24 / 7 operation, weekends and holidays.
  • You may be required to work mandatory overtime, when necessary.
  • Punctuality and reliability are essential - we've got flight schedules to meet!
  • The rewards for your expertise and work ethic

  • Great benefits, including several plan options.
  • Flight privileges from day one : you and your family can fly anywhere in the world on stand-by.
  • Time off : you'll have at least two days off in a row and can earn vacation days based on length of service.
