CB1, my experience and degree is broadly the same as you. I applied last year and got through to stage 2, but didn't get any further. I've applied again this year, although whether I even get to stage 2, I'll have to wait and see. I have a feeling they may reject me due to my results last time, but I'll have to wait and see

waiting to see if i get called for interview before I start thinking about that, don't want to tempt fate!!

I seem to remember alot of questions that could have come straight from my Physics and Maths A-Levels, if only I could have remembered them!!!! 
There was no interview at Stage 2, just 3 sets of tests.

With regard to the possibility of Flybe aquiring new jets in the near future it would appear thier intention is now clear. See:
http://www3.flybe.com/news/0410/25.htm
The first to operate out of Birmingham is going to be a leased aircraft to 'gain operational experience' after which an announcment is expected with regard to the fleet replacement. It could be a good time to be joining.
Cheers,
A.H.

Looking at similar thread for last year, it took around 8 days from application close to the first notification of a letter being received....
so Saturday at the earliest I guess......

Looks like i'll be seeing a few of you on the 19th! Think some revision over the next couple of weeks will be on the cards. congrats to all those who got through.
those who didn't (post above) keep trying and try and take some positives by looking at what you can do to improve future apps.... one thing i've learnt already is you have to be prepared to keep getting up after being knocked back!!!

Is there many who are from Ireland who applied??
Also, all that are getting the the call for stage 2, what sort of experience etc., does everyone have, just to see if there is a trend.

Any info. will be appreciated.

I got the "better luck next time" letter today. Bit surprised as i usually make it past the application stage. I do have zero hours though.
I am currently saving up to pay my own way so i am not too deterred by this. I have a 2:1 degree in physics in case anyone wants to know my background.
I can only guess the zero hours put them off or i cocked up my application form somewhere.
good luck to those who got through.

hi guys
Well done to those who have made it through to the second stage of flybe. Does anyone know what the three tests entail at all? Ive heard vicious rumours that they are essentially maths/physics a-level papers. This is not too good for me as the last time i touched maths was GCSE, and although I did physics at a-level, i did pretty badly!
I find it hard to believe that all they ask for in they're requirements in 5 GCSEs and 2 a-levels (not even maths and physics), yet they assess at this level! Oh well, I guess a couple of weeks hard slog is on the cards!!
In regards to my background, it is of a science nature, and I do have some flying experience. Whether that will benefit me remains to be seen!
Good luck with the revision and see you ll soon!

Is anyone else still waiting to hear from them? I think I’m going to give them a call to see what’s happening!
I guess it would be strange for them to send out some letters and not others?

Hello all,
somebody asked about previous experience. I currently have 93 hours 45 inc 40:30 Day PIC, 51:20 Day p.u/t, 0:25 Night PIC, 1:35 Night P.u/t and 6 hours IMC.
I have A-Level equivalent Maths and Physics and a BENG (Hons).
I recently heard about one guy who got into a similar shceme on his 8th application. I guess persistance is the answer.
Regards,
M

You're experience sounds like it would be beneficial, especially your a-levels/degree. What response have you had from any sponsorship schemes in the past? Are you going for this flybe sponsorship? If so, ill see you on the 19th!
Have you heard anything about what to expect for the 3 tests on stage 2?
I agree, perseverence is defintely the way forward!!
Cheers
