Go-around, you were not lied to.
I work for flybe, and I confronted the manager of turboprops regarding this recruitment of four people earlier last month. They did need 4 for the Channel Islands.
They have indeed since interviewed and taken on several pilots for the Dash starting end of this month. I guess they manybe more as fleet development plans are just about to be announced.
MAX, with regard to your applications with flybe, I understand you predicament. I believe it is often not what you know but who you know that makes the difference. It certainly helped with two guys that had interviews in Jan for the mob.
Here's hoping that we (flybe) need more of you guys shorlty as plans for the demise of buzz sound promising. But I won't hold my breath!
