Working at the opposite end, I can honestly say that the very large majority of Flybe pilots are a pleasure to work with.
Although the crews are often made up of very experienced captains and low hour F.O's, they operate to high professional standards and we have a very close working relationship, which includes both professional and social liason.

The only downside from our point of view is their Operations Department, probably because the merger has been poorly managed, the Operations is an utter shambles.
When things are going swimmingly, all is sweetness and light, when the **** hits the fan, all is chaos theory x 100, they haven't got a clue and we end up doing a lot of their work for them purely to prevent inconvenience to us.

Hopefully that side of things will improve, the message has been passed via the senior pilots to the company, if it doesn't, we will stop doing their job for them.

Anyway, Flybe are generally a good bunch and I'm sure you'll gain valuable experience if yu do get a job with them.

Good luck.
