Thanks for the replies.
I attended the open evening last year at luton, was given a date to attend the selection. Had to cancel cos another airline called at the same time.
I'm currently on the 146. If anything the flying is increasing on the 146, what with the success at SOU.
I tend to escape the UK at any given oppertunity. Is it true that staff tickets at Easy are only on Easy flights. Cos with Flybe I regularly fly long haul on standby.
With regards to bases at flybe, I am pretty senior enough to bid wherever I want to go. I am now finally where I wanna be. However to join another airline I am prepared to relocate anywhere for 1-2 years.
I think I may have to stick it out at Flybe for a little longer. Jet fleet replacement plans have yet to be finalised.
