Just to clarify

Just to clarify Flybe got rid of lates to earlies rostering around a weekend years ago so I have no idea how that's still happening. I worked there for 8 years and was generally happy - especially on the Embraer which was the best job I ever had (and I'm now at a national carrier!)

Great training, great camaraderie and people, OK salary, management same as everywhere else but generally well meaning and approachable. My biggest gripe was the number of days I spent at work on the Dash fleet - only 9 days off a month. If they'd put in say a 5/3 fixed roster pattern for full timers I might have stayed rather than the meagre 5/2 we tended to get.

At the end of the day it's certainly not the worst gig in town and the part time 70% deal of 5 on 5 off is pretty awesome (though sadly I didn't get it).
