Funkie,
Spot on, they need a balanced mixture to fulfill the CAA's requirements, they can't take a whole load of newbies on, they need experience as well!
Yep at least 15 have resigned this month, and rumour is many more to come, so I think this will be good news for guys trying to get in, but VERY bad news for Flybe, as many going are Q400 captains. I had a flight cancelled very recently due to no Captain.....
Many F/O's with the minimum requirement are being asked if they would like command assesments as they are desperate for Captains, and they continue to loose trainers as well.....AND, there is the continued pay/conditions dispute which is looking like a NO vote will be returned.
All in all, Flybe management must be a wee bit worried at the mo! I'm sure any potential buyer/investor will be put off by some of the goings on of late. Hope it all ends well though, as I don't want to be out of a job!
Good luck
