Get a life LOSER!
I've never worked for such a bunch of amateurs in my life. And that covers Ronald Mcdonald too.
Just because you're from Fraggle Rock and you've never smelt the real world let alone seen it, doesn't mean you can go encouraging poor unsuspecting newbies to come and line the pockets of the walker boys.
Get back to me when you've removed your egg shaped head from your proverbial.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Belfast FO
Hi everyone/anyone
Can anyone shed any light on the Belfast recruitment?
I applied but haven't heard anything.
I have about 250 hrs but I did my course in Aeromadrid, does that mean Flybe won't consider me due to their links with Cabair?
Are there many women pilots in Flybe?
Cheers
Jude

Well Belfast speaking I know there is at least 1 female FO and 1 Captain that immediately spring to mind so no worries there,as for Aeromadrid I can't say.Maybe see you next year at BHD after me training!

Ok ok as I understand it the deal is you give them £5000 towards the cost of the 146 type rating, you then enter a temporary contract with them for up to 18 months on the 146, to see them through until they start taking delivery of the Embraer 195s. Like normal, you go on the seniority list etc when you join the company so this and your bid entitlements aren't affected by the temporary contract. However, after the 18 months you will be moving back on the Q400, which as result may entail a base transfer if their operational needs require at the time, oh and for the entire time you're on the 146 you are on turboprop pay and conditions. However, this 18 months does count towards your 3 year Q400 bond.
Great offer for some, very very very unattractive for others. Plus you are trying to foresee where you and the company will be at in 18 months to see whether the step back on to the Q400 is a backwards move for you and therefore the £5000 isn't worth it.
Ironic thing is they are desperate to fill seats on the 146 ... so why are they charging for it ... I'm guessing because they can! But its strange because you would have thought getting the best bum on that RHS is more important than getting the person that paid you £5000 for it. Surely, the airline covering the £5000 x 10-15 or however many people they employ on this offer is cheaper for them than the cost of cancelled 146 flights over the summer months. Especially seeing that after 18 months on the jet you have that amount of jet time and only owe Flybe around £7000 in bonding ... thats a cheaper line-training deal than Astraeus offer!! Hardly think the £5000 will make people stay with the company any longer, so they are just creating a false economy surely and will never truely solve the staffing problems.

AC - almost right, but you got one figure massively wrong. They'll be going onto the 146 for up to 8 months. If it was 18, a lot lot more 400drivers would have walked. The reason they took 10 straight onto the 146 with this deal was because they couldn't release Dash crews for 146 training, because they are short on Dash FO's as it is. What with the time taken to train, it was easier for them to be short on the 146 until the new guys were trained, rather than doing things fairly and being even shorter on the Dash as well....
The £5000 is for the TR on the 146. They are also bonded from the word go for £13000. The reason they introduced the bond is because, as all of us in the queue for the 146 pointed out - who would have paid £5000 for a jet TR, worked over the summer and got a decent amount of jet hrs, and then willingly gone on the Dash..... They would have walked (as any sane person would) leaving those Dash guys, who had been waiting to get on the jet, 8 months down on the increase in salary, 8 months of which they could have ben paying off a jet bond, and 8 months of jet time.

Does anyone have any up-to-date info on flybe resignations/recruitment?
Latest acknowledgement letter from them says "holding pool full"......"not recruiting again until late Autumn". True or PFO?

Seemingly true, although if you're from the Channel Islands you'll be able to leapfrog everybody as they are desperate for crews with the residency rights. Cabair sponsored cadets also being fast-tracked through, and holding pool candidates not planning to be called forward until the end of the year.
