From what I can gather from other threads and gossip, the qualifications needed for Flybe are a valid licence, one head and a pulse. They are desperate for pilots as turnover is huge...
I got my F/ATPL in 1991 and spent six years paying my loan off without anything to show for it but a file full of rejections. At least most were polite. Manx was the only company to offer me an interview, and thankfully they offered me a job which I'm still in 9 years later.
Now Flybe are buying us, I'm trying to move on and am having about as much luck as I did when I had 255 hrs, let alone nearly 6,000!
Just keep on trying and good luck.
