Things are moving
I have to agree with Wodka, from what I can see the attitude seems to have changed to ' only cadets' to 'maybe a mix is better'. OP i went from flying a DHC6 onto the Q400 and have friends in the last year who have gone from the same up onto Saabs and Falcons, and the Falcon guys earn a hell of a lot more than your average Airline captains. Its not quite the meteoric rise of an Easyjet cadet but hell its about the journey not the destination, you have plenty of time ahead of you to fly jets, take the little steps first if you can. For those who have applied to Flybe but heard nothing I would urge you to follow it up as i have seen it work for others. Best of luck but be forewarned the handy days are over, expect to fly 800 hrs a year minimum and plenty of 6 sector days
