The courses for the rest of the year are filled with 145 pilots undergoing conversions to the Q400, and at the moment, I believe that FlyBE might be overcrewed
The courses are indeed filled with internal conversions (and the odd recruit) at the moment, however, Flybe are NOT overcrewed. The reason for the lack of F/O sectors at the moment is twofold:

1) The above mentioned training
2) Prudent winter trimming of services

The bulk of the internal conversion training will have been completed in the spring when 'normal' induction is forecast to resume.

Recruitment to the holding pool is underway at the moment but this is mainly for Captains, who are more widely available at the moment.

There are a number of F/Os in the holding pool at the moment (Q400 only) but there is also a priority supply of F/O's from the schemes with Flybes training partner schools.

To the newbies who have set their first job sights on a jet - good luck!
