Great move Flybe :D
Seems like a great idea, introduce a new licence giving the holder little ability to understand GA, less ability to understand airmanship and no ability to understand what everyone else had to go through to get a job in the 'old market'.
This will of course be especially useful as there not hundreds maybe even thousands or so of unemployed fATPLs out there who are already ready to type rate and willing to accept any Ts&Cs!
The main advantage I can see is in the amount the big schools can charge in their courses compared to the amount they pay in fleet vs. sim upkeep. Looks like the big schools stand to make an even huger profit and the airlines stand to loose in the long run when in 15 years time they have no captains who ever flew anything other than a sim in their CPL training and when the electrics all go have no clue what to do with the standby instruments that they use once a year in their OPC.
