What I heard is that some of their pilots are going to work for FlyBe. Not sure about aircraft though...

Malc4d- The pilots who quit their positions at Express Jet will be the ones to go to FlyBE. The 30 planes being pulled by CAL that Smokey mentioned are, I assume ERJs that Express Jet will no longer be operating. It has nothign to do with CALs mainline fleet.

Pilots going over will be taking a company offered leave of absence; they do not have to quit for the U.K. contract.

The aircraft are not XJT's aircraft.

it appears as though expressjet pilots can take an unpaid leave of absence without benefits to fly E145 under contract for Flybe.
The positions are similar to what's currently easily found on crew leasing websites for 145 flying.

Not to apply for the contract. As was mentioned above, the various agencies that have been advertising the job FOR MONTHS now have said they will take U.S./FAA certificates.

Apparently, we got some recent information that there will be a HIGHLY RESTRICTIVE validation granted after the air law exam, classroom/academic, and the sim training.

And no more ExpressJet branded flying. Back to just Continental Express and some charters.

It also seems Flybe only taking EU passport holders.
