Porter Hiring
Not a lot of talk of Porter lately. Mins recently dropped to 1000+ TT. Anyone hear of upcoming GS's and what the plan is in terms of hiring in the foreseeable future?

Re: Porter Hiring
I've heard of guys getting accepted for ground schools in January and February. Good luck to all who are interviewing with them!

Re: Porter Hiring
Pretty sure they just ran a ground school in the past few weeks that a friend of mine was in, no idea what's coming up.
Re: Porter Hiring
There's currently a class 14 in ground school. They average 3000 TT. 1000 hours is what you need to apply, not get hired. They still plan on hiring pilots in the 2500+ range. Classes planned for Jan, Feb + more in the spring.

Re: Porter Hiring
Hi guys,
thanks for the info. I've just done the online written and video interview. Any idea of how long it takes for porter to get back to you?
Thanks!

They called my references when I was in line training
That was in '09.
Good luck, I loved working there.

Re: Porter Hiring
I know a former co-worker that is a new hire this year he would have just under 2000 hours...

Re: Porter Hiring
Porter ran a ground school in Sept. They plan to run one in Jan, Feb and April. The offers for Jan and feb and some of April have gone out. More interviews are planned in Jan 2016 to fill the rest of the April class. There is also a small pool of interviewed pilots who have been notified they are "in the pool"
The average candidate who is being offered an interview is around 2500 hrs but some with time below 2000 are invited due to their experience.
1000TT min requirement to apply was set up to avoid auto denying those with less then 2500 hrs (previously set up) and this way if someone with lower time has relevant experience they can be identified.
Those that interview should hear either way 4 -6 weeks max. Usually a group of interviews is done then a follow up meeting to go over all the interviews happens and then offers are made. The length of time you wait really depends on where your interview date was with relation to the review day!
Hope that helps.

Re: Porter Hiring
Same here never heard a thing... I understand they only respond if they are actually doing interview AND interested. A friend of mine applied and was auto-rejected early on this year but got called six months or so later and he's flying there now!(He had the 2500 hrs by then) I still think that unless you come in with a Q4 TR you will need that 2500 hrs.
Too bad, Porter is probably one of the best regionals left out there.
