5 Rings,
I take your point that I'm not a flyBE insider when it comes to recruitment. To be fair, I never claimed (or pretended) to be.
However, my point that there are more than a few question marks against a £71,000 outlay are also just as valid. There is no recruitment, there is a holding pool, we are in recession and the MPL is unchartered territory.
I do genuinely wish all who apply and get the nod all the best. With a bit of luck you'll get your 1500 hours, ATPL and the hostie too!
