I Really doubt they did hire anybody with 250hrs anyways, that only meant you can still apply but reality is another game.

More likely the insurance companies finally putting their foot down.

Maybe I'm just naive, but when looking for a company's job requirements, I find it's best to look at the company's jobs website.

As of this morning it appears that Encore's official requirement for the Dash 8 is still 250 hours (though with 1000+ hours preferred).

Requirements below which the computers will automatically PFO you are not the same as the requirements below which the hiring team will not consider sending you a job offer.

Why 250 and not the 200 of a bare CPL? What would one learn in three weeks at an interim job, or in ten thousand more dollars worth of renting?

Unfortunately the companies own website is inaccurate as well since the YYZ base no longer exists.

Because you need 250 hrs to be eligible for a type rating on a transport category airplane

Oh, right. Maybe they’re petitioning TC to being that down lower too. Would this be a place where the MPL could apply to make it easier for them to find candidates?

I think that is what AC was looking at years ago. The multi-crew licence, basically if you have the ratings regardless of hours and we train you to our standards your good to go (or something like that, gee where has this played out before).

As far as I know they don't have the training staff required to train 250 hour pilots, but they do interview them and pool them for later consideration. I haven't seen anyone in a groundschool yet with less than 1000 hours.

[Yowdriver]

That will change with their new 750TT

[yowflyer23]

Would Encore hire someone with 750TT if it were all survey/pipeline flying time in piston singles or is multi time weighed heavily?

Give it a try. Most Q400 companies hiring people with around a thousand TT. Mostly instructors. That’s right seat c172 time. So you may be okay. Worst case scenario is you get the dreaded PFO, to which you cry for 5 minutes, down three fingers of whiskey and apply to the next

I heard there was someone in this latest groundschool with 750 tt

Yes. Their new hiring minimum (not to be confused with application minimum) is 750 hours.
