1) You don't actually lose any of your salary each month. Flybe include the £300 (or whatever it is) in each payslip. The loan agreement with Barclays has that same amount coming out of your account the next day. You'll only lose money if you leave flybe before the bond is up - then you'll be paying it without flybe having given it to you first!
2)We get our rosters on 20th each month. Just enough time to be able to plan your social life.
No fixed roster pattern - some prefer it that way others would like to see something fixed. You could end up doing a couple of 6on2off, or a 5on2off, or a 4on3off. Totally depends on crew numbers etc etc.
3) Type rating was ok. Was my first one so nothing to compare it to. Did it out in Toronto. Great ground and sim instructors.
