Sounds like impossible doesn't it? On the other hand a lot of Bacon guys left Easy for the better deal and they are short of crew on the 145. Since Flybe is keeping the 145's going for the middle of 2009, they need pilots for them. Flybe is very cost aware and would not put Dash8 rated pilots on the 145. I.E. BHX 145 will be there with at least 5 from 8 till end 2008, after whic they will be fased out. Also about 60 pilots have been recruited lately and doing their line training on the 145 now.
You just got to be lucky I think as you might as well start on the Dash8Q400
