It's a shame that Flybe no longer take on fresh pilots. I just missed out on a Q400 job with them when I had just got my IR (modular). They used to. E one of the few companies that hired modular graduates, and they are few and far between. They used to ask around their associated flight schools for recommendations but I understand they no longer do so. I believe they asked for people in recent practice - 50h in the last 6 months.

Speaking as someone who ended up in the RHS of a 737 with a little over 500tt I can say that my future opportunities are indeed probably better these days, but as an unemployed chap with a CPL/IR I would have been delighted to work for Flybe.

To be fair, as someone for whom a debt free modular existence was the only realistic path, I am not a good opinion former for the integrated moon-chasing types.
