Flybe

Zammo,

I'm a fairly recent (ex OATS) recent entrant to Flybe and I must say I really like it. The Dash is a great aeroplane to cut your teeth on, the flightdeck culture is very supportive, professional and relaxed, the company pays for your type rating, puts you up in decent hotels etc and my roster at least is fairly stable. The pay is OK for a turboprop and the short time to command is enticing. Also the company seems to be doing quite well and expanding (which means security, lots of interesting routes and chance of a jet).

The biggest downside for me is that they always finish you on a late and start you on an early thus shortening your weekend and of course basing is a lottery. If you are Scottish then I'd say you're in luck because traditionally they struggle to keep people at the EDI, GLA and BFS bases cos most of us want to get back down South!

Hope that is helpful and good luck.
