Porter does have a PICUS program on the Dash8. Not sure if it’s also available on the E2.

Upgrade program for PACL (E2) in development but have not heard of a PICUS program being offered or discussed.

PAL (-8) has had the PICUS and upgrade program in place for years.

I would guess that anyone who needs PICUS would probably be put on the Dash first. Then again would someone with a CPL and IATRA with E1, CRJ or any other jet time from Jazz not get an E2 spot? I’m sure there’s not many like that but there must be a few.

It's a risk they accept I guess at the present time if that's the case. I have not heard of anyone with that basket of experience coming over.

I haven't heard of anyone with a CPL and IATRA at PACL. Doesn't mean they aren't here.

So did they give you the E2 or Q400?

This topic looks to confirm Porter doesn’t desire applicants with ATPLs with 703/704/604 operational experience of operating into the same airports as Porter if they see the need for a picus program.

Are you talking about the E2 or the Q? Most airlines have some type of PICUS program.

E2 applicants have 705 time. I have yet to see a single request of PICUS on the E2.

If you’re complaining about the fact that Porter didn’t call you back, and that other airlines also haven’t, maybe the problem isn’t the airline.

All E2 hires do not have 705 ops time, that’s a fact.

You aren’t on the E2 at Porter. Looking at your past posts it appears you post a lot of inaccurate information.

Happyflyer78, I sent you a PM offering to help you, it’s been there about a week, kindly respond with a yes or no, I don’t get anything out of it, just trying to help a fellow pilot. Jazz does not have a referral program.

Ok, I’m not sure where it went, I thought it sent but I have nothing in my folders.
Well, I offered to call HR on your behalf but if you have others who are offering to help, that’s good. Let me know if you do want that.

Ignorance and arrogance often go hand-in-hand.

Duke is on the E2 at Porter. He knows what he's talking about. I'm on the E2 at Porter as well so I know how accurate his information is. I haven't seen any comments from him that were inaccurate. If you know of some info that's inaccurate I'm sure he'd be happy to know.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. Are you trying to say that because Porter has a PICUS program they will never hire pilots without 705 time? Right now that does seem to be their focus. But that can, and most likely will, change.

I was being facetious because we definitely do want people with 703/704/604 experience with ATPLs. Having a PICUS program doesn’t mean we only hire people without ATPL minimums.

What type of 703 704 604 experience is desired currently? Medevac, Cargo, Charter, Corporate?

Any? I came with a mix of cargo, charter and medevac experience. This was in 2017 mind you.

Don’t waste your time with happyflyer. He’s got close to 6000 TT. If you can’t get a job with 6k at a 705, the problem aren’t the airlines. He should hire KD to help with resume and interview prep.

Happyflyer, I offered to help but I have to say, you are starting to come across as the same poster several months back who was trolling. I offered to help him and he would not give me his name, just his total time. So, I called HR on his behalf and was told his resume was half a page long and they were ignoring it because even the name on it seemed fake.
So publicly, I will keep my offer to you but only if you PM your name to me, I won’t waste my time or HRs time.
If this is the same poster, shame on you! This web board has become somewhat of a waste of time and nothing of substance really gets posted, I will always try to help a fellow pilot but this guy has me jaded and again if it was you, you’re a dick for doing this.
You have nothing to lose here, PM your name if you are for real, if you’re worried about your anonymity, you’re a new poster and could just create a new profile.
