Not sure if this is any use to anyone looking for a low houred position at Flybe but I recently had the privilege to hear from the mouth of head of HR that they prefer you NOT to pay for your own type rating, they would rather just have you straight from the MCC course as they can Type Rate you for £13k (reducing bond) as it will all be with their SOP's from day one.
They are due to receive another 2 Q400 sims (one next week) which should see some shorter waiting times too.
They did also say they only look for frozen lads and lasses with 85% pass marks in the ground school and first time passes in CPL and IR. Anyone out there recently taken on who can confirm or deny this?
