Q400 FO Hiring

Post by YHMflier »

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.

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

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.

I can’t tell from your lack of punctuation, did they hire 106 pilots or is that the name of the bar?

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!!

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?

There’s probably a class starting on Monday.

If there’s an ad on their careers page, then they are running classes

Dash classes usually start 2nd week of the month and E2 classes (on hold) start the first week of the month.

Does withdrawing and resubmitting affect placement in 'the queue' of all other applications?

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

Usually happens fairly quick after the interview.

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.
