Just to confirm earlier posts on this thread and having attended two separate presentations given by Ian Cheese and Ian Baston at AFT in Coventry, all FlyBe aircrew applications
must be initially routed via the online recruitment portal - there is no other way of circumventing the process.
The minimum requirements were clearly stated as thus:
* Type rated DHC8 Q400/Emb 195 (this pretty much g'tted you a job!!)
OR
* 750 hrs + CPL/IR/MCC (Frozen ATPL)
OR
* Integrated or 'one-stop' modular course attended in previous 6 months ('one-stop' in this sense was defined as no more than two different FTOs attended, excluding ATPL theories), eg PPL at school A, CPL at school B, IR at school C, MCC at school D obviously wouldn't count. I got a sense that doing one course, say a CPL, across two schools (for whatever reason) wasn't looked at too favourably.
Aplicants must also have flown a minimum 50 hrs in previous 12 months. Ian Baston said "we also like to see some history" meaning FlyBe will nearly always revert to your FTO for a reference, to be expected I suppose.
