Sorry if I have confused you, it wasn't my intention and I know your not having a dig .

Every airline has an idea of its pilot requirement but cannot predict it exactly. No airline would put all of it's eggs in one basket either.

For that reason alone Flybe will probably start x number of students in their current schemes, x number MPL and take x number of external FATPL entries, as at present, to fulfill their requirement. This means that will most likely have positions for all of those in which they have made an investment and hopefully positions for others too.

If they planned to do all MPL and the training school went bust then.......what next?

Flybe appear to have a policy of extracting their recruits from all across the board and I would imagine they will continue to do so.

Like it or not, pre selected integrated students, who are a known quantity, are less of a training risk - but this has been discussed elsewhere.
