My guess is about 70% of the pilot workforce are utterly desperate to leave, but no real meaningful doors open right now for people masses of Q400 hours, either seat. The only guys getting jobs right now are those with jet hours, but with the number resigning seemingly on the up, will hopefully in time give other escapees the currency they need to get out, and obviously make space on the Q400 fleet.
Bear in mind though relations between the pilots and management are currently in the gutter, there are anecdotal threats of redundancies and hull disposals. We don't yet know if there is substance to this or if it would be retribution for everyone standing up and saying they've had enough of being treated with contempt for years. Judging by your name though you may well be one of the tiny number of people for whom Flybe might be a step up. Best of luck.
