Processing time E2

[Mechatronic]

Hey all together,
Just wondering what the latest processing times are for applicants on the E2 (first contact after applying)?

[BaldChewbacca]

Well if it's anything like internal transfers, you're looking around 2-5 years

If you have a jet type rating, you'll get a call in a matter of days, and have a job offer on the table in a matter of hours after you finish your interview.

If you have turboprop time, the timing might be a bit longer but they have taken guys/gals on the E2 with just turboprop time.

Does Porter do a lot of interviews few open spots or do they mainly gives interviews to applicants who they’re pretty sure they want to hire?

They'll take anyone they can get. Too many planes coming not to.

I had an interview offer the next morning after applying. Had around 2200 tt with around 1000 multi turbine PIC.

Ended up declining the invitation to interview as I accepted another position. Not sure on the time between interview to offer personally but I do know they are moving relatively quickly with applicants.

How did you manage that? They actually replied to you in just two days. My experience far exceeds the requirements for a First Officer, but since I applied in May and the status changed to 'under review' in June, there have been no further updates. Tell me your tips!

You’re attitude likely shined unpleasantly in your application. They’ve hired applicants all summer.

Yes, they replied two days after applying. I know several other people with similar experiences who applied and were all contacted the same week. If you have lots of multi-turbine time I'm not sure what would be holding you back. Nothing special about my application so I can't offer any tips, unfortunately.

I have stopped counting how many times I have heard of pilots stating they exceed the requirements, yet are not getting a call back.

For me, it is pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together and deduce that if you approach a company looking down on them, thinking that they are desperate for pilots and would jump on you like a hungry kid on a ham sandwich, that might put them off. Has it occurred to anyone that a company may be hesitant to hire a pilot that is much more qualified than the average applicant if they can't reconcile why this particular candidate is not off the market yet?

Pilots questioning and dissing the various companies hiring practices should probably take a long hard look in the mirror and think about checking the attitude at the door before walking in their next interview.

My 2 cents,

Are you saying one should stop flying once one hits a certain number of hours so one doesn’t have more than the average applicant? Otherwise one keeps logging hours while they continue trying to be given opportunities to advance career.

In a nutshell, if you are “more” than qualified, you need to show a company that you really want they job and want the opportunity to show them that!
I tired to help a pilot on this site, I gave them advice and they chose to ignore that advice, I’m pretty sure that was you under a different name, you claim your coworker has a huge amount of king air training time and everybody likes them, this person had similar qualifications.
This person had a single page resume with no cover letter, if I received a single page resume and no cover letter, I would have directed it to the garbage bin. They clearly think name, address and how many hours they have is enough, it’s not. I asked if there was a cover letter, to which he replied no, it was optional. I responded they wouldn’t make it an option if they didn’t want it.
Your resume says a lot about you as a person and you also have the opportunity to introduce yourself with specific skills and hobbies that may indicate you’re a team player, ie; you played sports, or excelled at….
If this over or appropriately qualified person is not getting a call, it’s their resume, it’s incomplete(no cover) or has some red flags, ie; it’s too short

I seem to see a lot of 195s parked during the day at the infield areas at YYZ lately. Is there a lack of pilots or just not enough routes started up yet?

Pratt GTF issues so either they're waiting for new engines or they're held in reserve as the company decided to trim the expansion in order to have operational reliability with spare aircraft (or so they say).

I know you’re not replying to me but your advice is a bit conflicting to what I’ve been told when applying for jobs. I was told to absolutely never exceed a one page resume, and for large 705 carriers to not include a cover letter. I see where you’re coming from that they wouldn’t allow it if they didn’t want it, but most experienced 705 captains have told me to just apply with a simple one page resume. So far I’ve been lucky and that’s worked great for me. When I was applying at 703 and 704’s I always included a customized cover letter though. Now I’m wondering if moving forward I should for 705 as well. Not willing to support Keith D’mello to get a ‘professional’ opinion.

it was actually directed at KN84 and generally my opinion, I could be wrong I suppose but my resume was four pages including a cover and I was hired at a 705. So, I don’t see it as a detriment but if you are unsure why you’re not getting called, it might be a place to start.
I looked back and it appear you were called in two days, maybe the resume theory doesn’t work if you have a one page resume for Porter and were called that quick.
I am old and have been out of the hiring game for quite a while, so I’ll retract my advice and defer to the younger generation.

Okay, thanks! I likely got lucky with the timing when I applied.

[CaptDukeNukem]

One page resume with a short and sweet cover letter.

It’s been proven that hr specialists spend less than 2 minutes per resume.

i have been rejected 5 times? I have lots of twin turbine command maybe too much? i have had interviews with almost everyone i applied too except Porter. they seem to have no interest for some reason and multiple of my former f/o's have gotten in and I am in good standing with them all.
I have listened to what peple say with short cover/ resume', good references etc. I must be flaggged so i changed email accounts an see what happens. on number 6 "under review" so we will see?

Pretty sure it's only humans who review resumes here, and if a dramatic red flag comes up from your past that points to hazardous personality issues, it doesn't matter how much twin turbine time you have, they may opt to focus on other applicants in the hiring pool. How you interact on social media has an effect.

Changing your e-mail likely won't have any effect on the success of your application.

Blink twice if your initials are T.M?

Not TM I'm DC.
Most boring social media ever. I left the "additional comments for the reviewer" blank on the application that's the only thing I could think I did wrong? Thoughts? And advice, thanks.
