Q400 FO Hiring
Does anyone have an information about when Porter is going to start Q400 GS’s for FO’s? I heard they’re on a hiring freeze. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Q400 FO Hiring
Hey there,
The word going around lately has been that GS will resume in September !

An HR representative informed me hiring will resume in the new year (2025) when I reached out.

Re: Q400 FO Hiring
E2 GS starting Sept 3rd. And I’m 99% positive there will be classes for dash in the fall.
Re: Q400 FO Hiring
We’re crazy over staffed for Q FO’s, pilots hired awhile ago are still on reserve barely flying. Don’t see why they would wanna stock the shelves with more Q FO’s rn.CaptDukeNukem wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2024 10:28 amE2 GS starting Sept 3rd.

Well this didn’t age well, by raise of hands all who are going to the bar today 09/09/24 to welcome the latest dash 8 class 106 for the wings and beer?
Re: Q400 FO Hiring
I can’t tell from your lack of punctuation, did they hire 106 pilots or is that the name of the bar?flaminghotdog wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2024 9:48 pmWell this didn’t age well, by raise of hands all who are going to the bar today 09/09/24 to welcome the latest dash 8 class 106 for the wings and beer?
Re: Q400 FO Hiring
It's likely the Sheaf. I miss the older, non-gentrified version though. Same wings, same beer, half the price.
Damn. Now I want wings and beer. Enjoy guys!!

Re: Q400 FO Hiring
Congrats to all the new hires attending ground school.
PS. What kind of experience in terms of total time is Porter looking for on the Q400 for FO?
Re: Q400 FO Hiring
Class 106. Means 106 DH8 initial classes since inception.cdnavater wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2024 4:50 amI can’t tell from your lack of punctuation, did they hire 106 pilots or is that the name of the bar?flaminghotdog wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2024 9:48 pmWell this didn’t age well, by raise of hands all who are going to the bar today 09/09/24 to welcome the latest dash 8 class 106 for the wings and beer?

Re: Q400 FO Hiring
There’s probably a class starting on Monday.
If there’s an ad on their careers page, then they are running classes

Re: Q400 FO Hiring
Dash classes usually start 2nd week of the month and E2 classes (on hold) start the first week of the month.
Re: Q400 FO Hiring
Does withdrawing and resubmitting affect placement in 'the queue' of all other applications?

Re: Q400 FO Hiring
Hi,
If selected for an interview, how long is it usually between applying and them reaching out? I applied about a month ago. Also, how much of a heads up between an offer and GS starting? Seeing as they don't cover the accommodations during training just wondering if there's enough time to relocate and find housing before GS kicks off.
Thanks

If you need time to find housing before starting groundschool. You could probably defer a class or two if you need time. These are things that you can discuss in the interview. But if you are successful, and want in on the first available class it’s generally two weeks to a month.
