Firstly, thank you all very much for your kind replies.
Secondly, once again I have very little time to spare so please forgive me if I either fail to acknowledge anyone and/or respond to any particular point.
gator bait and Ham Phisted - I thank you for your "insights"
fokker - I am a fairly experienced -300 Captain; however I have never flown the -400. I believe like you say it is, "a fab bit of kit". MAN is my "home"; however I am presently living near LBA but BHD, GLA, EDI or anywhere else are all equally fine.
Cloud Chaser - thank you for your comments which I have taken onboard. Unfortunately due to the very short notice of my interview combined with other commitments to attend to I have very little time for either "searching" or "interview preparation" hence I was hoping (I admit) to be "spoon-fed" as to the exact interview format. For example having just now received written confirmation of my interview I am very suprised to note that I am to attend a "Flybe presentation" (not mentioned on the telephone) prior to my interview. That would imply to me that there are going to be a lot of attendees rather than just the personal interview I had imagined so perhaps not quite the foregone conclusion that fokker and others have suggested - nevertheless I thank you for your positive comments and words of encouragement.
Thanks - wish me luck!
Thunor.
p.s. Mods. - in my "history" of posting on pprune I seem incapable of posting in the correct forum! Yet again my topic has been "moved". Please - in the interests of my continuing education - can you explain why my QUESTION has been moved to "Terms and Endearment"???
