Air Pasty,
Ignore Deano777, he is a grumpy bugger sometimes.
I Joined the company a couple of years a go. 2 FO's on my TR course (same date of joining) started on pay scale year 2, which is £29677. I understand they jumped to that scale as they had X amount of hours on an aircraft type over X amount of Kg MTOW. So not every new joiner starts on year 1 pay point.
In support of Deano777, I do find it very hard to believe there are seats to fill at EXT!!! There are quite a few FO's around the network that I know of that want to relocate to EXT. However as always us pilots are never aware of the big picture, who knows what they have planned!
As regards to FDP while training. If I remember correctly you don't get any. However the company will pay £15 per a day for your dinner which you claim back. Flybe do start paying 100% of your basic salary from day 1 though.
I will not get involved with the silly argument about how easy / hard the Q400 is to fly. I like it and thats that! Hope this helps?
Regards to my friend Deano777
