Anyone else seated in the hiring pool, chilling?😛
Guys, anyone else in the dash pool and waiting for a ground school ? What’s your timeline and have you been assigned a ground school? I joined The pool in September and I’m still waiting.

Expect to wait 4-6 months in the dash 8 pool. Anything less, consider yourself lucky!
Re: Anyone else seated in the hiring pool, chilling?😛
Is Porter done with their hiring? Is there a groundschool in December?
Re: Anyone else seated in the hiring pool, chilling?😛
No ground school in December. Next one in January.
Re: Anyone else seated in the hiring pool, chilling?😛
Any DEC's in the January course?

No DECs expected for the foreseeable future, mostly focused on transferring remainder of interested Dash 8 crews.

Yea, I've also been sitting in the pool since September. No hope for ground school for the dash until best case scenario...March. Anyone else in this situation?
Re: Anyone else seated in the hiring pool, chilling?😛
One of my friend from Porter told me that all classes, including Dash & E2 both have been postponed until March.

Yea I heard the exact same thing. Quite unfortunate to wait until the spring. Does porter have a cap at how long you can be in the pool before having to reapply?
Re: Anyone else seated in the hiring pool, chilling?😛
I don't believe so, only a time between unsuccessful applications, which IIRC is 6 months.

No dash gs until march
Re: Anyone else seated in the hiring pool, chilling?😛
Confirmed, as of now classes delayed until March. Embraer cannot get engines, and wings now due to procurement from third party vendors.
Re: Anyone else seated in the hiring pool, chilling?😛
Wings? I’m assuming the manufacturer cannot finish aircraft because wings are not being produced?
Wow, this seems like a huge failure, who else will buy these machines with these on going problems!
I just found an article about the E1 having fuselage supply chain issues but the E2 only has engine delivery issues and goes on to say that that has/is improving. Where did you get the “wings” information?

Avelo bought a 100 of them in the US. And many around the globe purchasing smaller amounts. Haven’t heard anything about wings. I assume fake news.cdnavater wrote: ↑Thu Jan 01, 2026 1:45 pmWings? I’m assuming the manufacturer cannot finish aircraft because wings are not being produced?

Here’s an article about how embraer is growing.
