Chins up folks!!
Flybe are still to recieve a large number of Q400s from the manufacturers. At the current rate of expansion and with the current pilot attrition rate (see
here) they will continue to recruit for the forseeable future. If you commit to self funded training it is quite possible that you will get a second bite of the cherry once qualified.
However flight training continues to be a risky investment. Don't take the risk if you cannot afford to lose.
