I applied online. I interviewed at Air Canada (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2016
Interview
Submitted my application online end of July. The TA called on Nov 1st while I was work and by the time I have reviewed my new voice messages, it was already after 5pm in Montreal, so I left the TA a message answering her question that i'm still interested in applying for the FA role and that if it works for her, I will be calling back the next morning at a certain time; otherwise, we can arrange for a different time via phone or email. The next morning, the TA was nice enough to email advising me the time I mentioned doesn't work for her and we managed to reschedule for the phone interview via email. After a series of yes and no, followed by a combination of standard and situations interview questions, the TA scheduled me in for two linguist tests in the languages that i'm able to communicate on a business level, and she also sent me an email for the personality and intelligence tests to be completed online. I had to sneak out during work to take the interview call and the TA was being extremely understanding was able to stay on hold on the line for a few minutes. I haven't done the online tests yet, but have completed the first linguistic test yesterday. The gentleman that called was extremely nice and patient. He said that everything went well, so now i'm just waiting for the second linguistic test that has been scheduled for the next week.
From reading other people's comments on the face to face and group interview, the process sounds very intense. I have never gone through a group interview before, so if I make it there, it would be a new learning curve for me.
I wish everyone luck in securing the FA role with AC :)
