What’s the lowest time pilot that was hired at Porter outside of their college grads ? Curious to feel today’s situation.

Thanks

Bare minimum required is 1000TT, that is a hard rule irregardless of where you did your training. I think lowest time in our class was 1200tt

That will have to change, unless Rookie is correct, and the recession is as bad as he thinks it will be.

Oh of course it has to!

Wonder how many are going out to current E-jet qualified pilots? There is only one source in Canada.

Looks like certification is just around the corner. Lots of DEC offers going out.

I heard just yesterday of 3 E175 CA's from Jazz leaving for POE next month.

What will hurt Jazz the most is if there are E175 ACP departures. Line pilots can be replaced. CCP is tougher.

I presume POE is looking for E-jet ACP that will receive quick TC approval.

Jazz is going to have to up the pay very soon. I think they are in denial still. Year 2 Porter pay is more than year 17 pay at Jazz. :shock: Plus Porter pilots wouldn’t have the insane pay deductions we have at Jazz.

Yup. But don’t want to turn this in to a Jazz thread.

Pilots looking for (relative) job security or a 90% career path to AC will likely not pursue POE.

Pilots looking for a meaningful pay bump and the opportunity to fly a larger next gen aircraft will look to move. OTS opportunity still available at AC.

The broader issue here is what every carrier is prepared to do to either attract or retain pilots. POE has put its cards on the table.

Any idea where one could find porters payscales?

In todays world of piloting especially in Canada I’d take Porter over Jazz, obviously the pay and atmosphere is better. I wonder how many Jazz captains will go but if you want to go to AC I guess Jazz is your quickest way.

Good. Hope they enjoy the Sky Regional trash that now plagues Jazz.
