Porter pic program
Just wondering if Porter has or is working on a pic program?
Re: Porter pic program
Porter does have a PICUS program on the Dash8. Not sure if it’s also available on the E2.
Re: Porter pic program
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.
Re: Porter pic program
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.
Re: Porter pic program
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.PropDog wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2023 6:42 amI would guess that anyone who needs PICUS would probably be put on the Dash first.

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

Re: Porter pic program
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.Happyflyer78 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 6:38 am 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.
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.

You aren’t on the E2 at Porter. Looking at your past posts it appears you post a lot of inaccurate information.CaptDukeNukem wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:45 pmI have yet to fly with a single person on the E2 that didn’t have 705 experience.

Re: Porter pic program
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.

Re: Porter pic 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.

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.Happyflyer78 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 6:38 am 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.
I'm not sure what you're getting at either.

Re: Porter pic program
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.Chaxterium wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 8:45 pmIgnorance and arrogance often go hand-in-hand.Happyflyer78 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 12:56 pm You aren’t on the E2 at Porter.

Re: Porter pic program
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.PropDog wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 10:55 amAny? I came with a mix of cargo, charter and medevac experience.

Re: Porter pic program
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.Happyflyer78 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 9:26 amWhat type of 703 704 604 experience is desired currently?

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.
