From a PFO letter I got from them recently, they stated that they would be starting recruitment again in Autumn ("Fall" for the septics)....fingers crossed that does include us "outsiders"!

Always worth bashing away. Hold pool is filling nicely, but it will need to , as there is an expectation that large numbers of pilots will leave in a short period of time through the winter. If this year was anything to go by, large numbers of newbies were interviewed in January (about 100 or so) and more interviews have taken place since. I would expect this winter to produce something similar.
Don't think Ian Cheese would be particularly impressed if you thought he worked in HR 
How about "Fleet Manager" then?
To be honest, I think it's a bit of a lottery. Don Darby is head of HR and, by rights, I suppose CVs would probably go through him. I don't even know if they're recruiting FOs at the moment. I believe their hold pool still has people in it? I bow to the superior judgement and knowledge of other ppruners.

Don Darby is still the person to send CVs to.
Selection of those called for interview still seems remarkably random. I know of people that have been put in a holding pool for 6 months, and those which have gone on to the DHC8 training course without a sim check even!
Rostering will tell you they wait until they literally have no more pilots, and then recruit a bunch.
They do tend to recruit fresh, when bunches of pilots move on. Most tend to only stay a couple of years even though they are bonded, because they get offered jet jobs.
Not too bad to work for and good for quick career progression, but getting in is very random!

FF,
Truth is that everyone will plead that they will stay with FlyBE forever, or any other company for that matter, in the interview if that what it takes. I don't think your angle is any different from any one else's.

No. Everyone else is leaving!
