The company will probably empty their myriad of hold pools first before taking on Mr Layman but that won't stop them interviewing etc. Everything obviously depends on numbers required.
The sim check is on the B1900 or the Saab340 (I heard the Saab had left Flightsafety). The bond is 3 years reducing and £13,500.

As for interview questions, well I wrote all mine down but I'm away till Friday. I'll post them when I get back.

oh, and forget fast track command, that won't happen with 2/3 the F/O population almost ready for command. Also to be considered you need 1500hrs on Flybe aircraft.
