For the successful candidates on this scheme you will have gotten to the national average salary on your first paid employment in an industry! I.E. There are whole families living on what you are complaining about they are even paying for the type rating. You should be eternally grateful that they even bother.
Many instructors out there have paid £50-90k for their licenses and earn less than £10k pa in numerous cases.
Personally I think if Flybe want to invest into the industry then should invest in recruiting ALL pilots. Those struggling instructors and small firm pilots who are trying to work their way up are more deserving than those who have less than 60hrs but hey it's not like Flybe don't know they are a feeder so maybe this is a reaction to that.
