The recent ads on the website and in Flight contain 'spin' in the extreme. Whilst I admit that £50k for a Direct Entry Captain (DHC8 of course) is not bad, £82k is an absolute lie. Looking at the pay scales that figure would be achievable only by a 146/195 Captain with 17 years seniority!
I agree with 40hm, that sort of advertising shouldn't be allowed. However, we're an intelligent bunch, and it only takes a couple of clicks on the mouse to uncover the real Flybe package.
