Re: PORTER Interview ?
Feb G/S both filled a long time ago... And I know from an internal source that they have started to call people for March as well...
I know a couple of people with over 3500TT (and tons of MPIC turbine) who interviewed late last year and didn't get a call (no offer nor a pfo). I guess it gives you a lot of time to think about what went wrong during the interview...!

Re: PORTER Interview ?
Heard rumour that they were tossing the 2 year ball and chain for their next round of hiring in the new year. Any truth to this, or just wishful thinking?
Re: PORTER Interview ?
All training bonds/agreements have been eliminated and 10 new hires currently in lineindoc, 10 more starting end of Nov, interviews this month and Dec for at least 4 new classes starting in Jan, Feb etc.KK7 wrote:Heard rumour that they were tossing the 2 year ball and chain for their next round of hiring in the new year.

Good luck!

Re: PORTER Interview ?
Congratulations to Porter on the continued expansion.
What is the benefit for the company by eliminating the bond/agreement after it has been signed?

Re: PORTER Interview ?
wouldn't this make it easier for a PD FO to jump ship to Sky Regional for a left seat?

Re: PORTER Interview ?
Yep pretty much. But then again, you would probably get upgraded to left seat at Porter with more pay than sky regional in the coming months anyway. Also I think Porter is gearing up to loose pilots to AC. If Air Canada had there "Stuff" together and really wanted to screw over porter, they would take their pilots! So you never know!!
Re: PORTER Interview ?
Does anyone who has interviewed very recently have anything to add to the information already posted here regarding interview format/questions?
Thanks for the help!

Re: PORTER Interview ?
Hey guys,
I had an interview a while back and haven't heard anything yet (probably a good thing). Anyone get a pfo yet? How late into December are they doing interviews?

Re: PORTER Interview ?
Just wondering if anyone who interviewed in November has heard back from Porter?
It's been over a month since the interview for me and no word...
Also, I'm curious as to what kind of experience most of the recent FO candidates have?
Cheers

Re: PORTER Interview ?
I interviewed at the end of November and had to update a few things with them last week and was told I should hear back from the soon.
As there are ground schools in Jan and Feb I would assume that people will be told fairly soon

Re: PORTER Interview ?

hey ptc, looks like I'm in the Jan 16th g/s...ptc wrote:anyone starting on the January ground school? if so see you there
I’ve just now received my SOP’s, training DVD, etc...The welcome letter indicates that a “Company Indoctrination Agenda” was to have been provided, but it seems to be missing from my package.
Anyways, I came across your post, thought to say hi, and check with you regarding the agenda. Have you got one? (thought to see if you have received one before I start pestering the company about it. I’m interested on the training schedule, start times, where, etc...)
I couldn’t pm ya, cause I guess I don’t have pm privileges...so pls shoot me a pm, if ya can.
Thanks!

Re: PORTER Interview ?
I just did an Interview with Porter last week and they called 2 of my internal references the day after. Is that a pretty good sign or do they check internal references for everyone? I had a friend go through the process and after 6 weeks got the PFO...
Also, they requested a credit check in the application papers. That's the first time I've been asked for that in a job application. Anyone have any idea what they are looking for?

Re: PORTER Interview ?
That's new. What do they care? Are they going to bring back the bond and making sure you'll be good for it when you go to AC or WS in 9-12 months?they requested a credit check

That's a good sign

The credit check application paper was a mistake that HR made for a few people interviewed last week. There are positions within Porter that require credit checks, but not pilots. That piece of paper would have gotten shredded.JohnnyDrama wrote:Also, they requested a credit check in the application papers. That's the first time I've been asked for that in a job application.

Re: PORTER Interview ?
Anyone know if Porter is conducting interviews currently or anytime soon?
Thanks
