Standard FlyBe PFO letter, I have a ring binder full.
But at least they do reply, and do actually keep details on file, so I have been assured. So one day, you never know, we might just get that life changing telephone call out of the blue.

I have several also. I have 3000TT and still get them.
If their workforce is made of people similar to those I know there, then maybe I'm better off not being there!
Has anyone ever had a nice thing to say about DD?

Dont worry!
Hi guys,
Dont be disheartened!!
I was lucky enough to be selected for the Q400 last month and we're now in toronto doing out type rating, currently doing the groundschool phase.
We have it right next door to the bombardier factory and there was a big screen up saying that flybe have just ordered another 20 Q400s so they obviously have expansion plans!
Just keep plugging those cvs
Happy hunting!
Tom

FLYBE
Anyone have an idea of what they are looking for. From the responses on this thread there does not seem to be a generic employment philosophy.
That was my observation through the differing threads about flybe and not any of your feedback anyone.
I know there has been alot written about age (got to be 20'ish) but thats about as far as i can make out the message.
If anyone has any information about this it would be interesting.
What i am trying to say is; is it a CV lottery or do they actually look for laid down character attributes, as percieved through your CV.
I know there is someone on pprune under the name of 'flybe.com' and i assume he/she is an employee (I should have been a detective).
If you know, please let me know as i believe that a little insight may go a long way when sending the 'please give me a job or i will go into the porn film industry as an extra....again ' letter.
Thanks

Blimey, I have sent loads of CV's over time and never even had a PFO letter! I must be doing something wrong!!
Even had a CV handed in by recommendation a few weeks ago, followed it up with a phone call.....and still nothing.
What do I have to do???

What is the problem with flybe.
I have 1100hrs TT, 700 multi crew jet and I can't get a peep out of them. I also had an inside recomendation yet nothing has come of it.
I know flybe are going down to oxford/cabair etc but what about the guys that have gone through the S%*T and got some very valid experience.
I would love to fly for flybe, it is a company that I really think would suit me. I would take the job tommorrow. I know in other forums there is alot of bad ora's about flybe but trust me from where I come from flybe is heaven.
There are many experienced people with valid hrs under their belt that are not getting a look in. Instead flybe are not spending time looking at CV's but just taking the easy option and going down to oxford/cabair and creaming the candidates. However are these less experienced people without jet time or commercial line experience going to be so cost effective to train and bring up to speed online etc?
Shout me down if I am wrong but I would consider flybe a desired working environment not just a stepping stone.

The problem with Flybe is that they have completely messed up the numbers for recruiting. Apparently they got an idea that a shed load of crews were off to other airlines and therefore started recruiting accordingly to fill these potential gaps. In the cold light of day, most of these alleged vacancies have not not come about and there are quite a few from Oxford and Crapair that were initially selected for employment and now in some kind of holding pool.
On top of that they also managed to hack offwhat crews remaned by offering 146 slots to new joiners ahead of those already employed. Sounds to me that there are a few issues within so tred carefully whenever Flybe are mentioned!
