Re: E2 FO hiring

Hello Is Porter looking to hire E2 FOs for the remainder of the year and 2027? How much do FOs fly in a year? Are the newer FOs on reserve or can hold a block? Thank you! The latest from the company was no outside hiring for 2026 but I suspect that won't be (and probably already isn't) the case. I ...

Re: Porter slides off the taxiway in YHM

Agreed on the enhanced reporting requirements for taxiways. I was out on the east coast recently and asked about the taxiways and was basically given a "what you see is what you get". We definitely crept along and with 30-40kt wind gusts, it was not a fun feeling at all. Looking at the YHM picture, ...
