What I would say is this. Flybe, from my experience is, and I quote the recently resigned managing director, 'a training company'. Unless this attitude changes then F/O's will treat it as such and as soon as they have enuff hours will move on to bigger and shinier planes. So Dan 98 is right when he says that Flybe will need 400 F/O's over the next few years.
This is not due to a large expansion but due to the fact that Flybe pay pennies compared to other airlines the same size as them, and so the turnover in the company is ridiculous. And will continue to be.
So I did not want people to feel I am ruling out Flybe as an option for Modular students, but I would love to hear from any modular students who get interviews in the New Year. I will keep applying but I am not holding out much hope.
