Jazz Pathways Program

Jazz Aviation LP

Jazz Aviation LP is Canada's largest regional airline, operating flights under the Air Canada Express brand. Jazz operates a fleet of Bombardier CRJ and De Havilland Dash 8 aircraft, serving communities across Canada and the United States from coast to coast.

Jazz has established a pathway program with Brampton Flight Centre that provides graduates with an accelerated route to a First Officer position. This program recognizes the quality of BFC's training and is designed to help address the growing pilot shortage.

Pathway Requirements

BFC graduates who meet the following criteria are eligible for direct entry to Jazz Aviation through the pathway program:

• Total Flight Time: Minimum 250 hours total time
• ATPL Written Exam: Minimum score of 80%
• Licences & Ratings: CPL, Multi-Engine Rating, Group 1 IFR Rating
• Program: Graduate of BFC's IATPL or College Program
• Eligibility: Must be legally entitled to work in Canada

The 250-hour minimum is significantly lower than the typical airline hiring minimum, reflecting Jazz's confidence in BFC's training program. IATPL graduates complete the program with approximately 200-250 hours and can begin the pathway process immediately upon graduation.
