This may sound silly but have you checked your spam filter for your e-mail account? I thought I had not been sent the questions either but for some reason my spam filter thought the e-mail received from them was spam.
Or it could be that you are not allowed to re-apply for another year, but you'll have to check that up with someone from Flybe perhaps.

It might be worth calling FTE.
When TFly had an application similar to Flybe about 18months ago with 4 stages I applied. Got rejected Phase 1 due to age, called them as I knew I was ok within the rules and got through.
Phase 2 never heard from them so thought I'd failed again, luckily at FTE anyway for their application process, whilst there asked what had happened to my answers. (I knew they were good as I'd gotten through on CTC and OAT/Thomas Cook at a similar point) and sure enough the e-mail had been sent to the wrong place.
So if you know you are good enough see how you can get through. I'd consider FTE first with Mary Jo then Carmen, else try Paula Westlake or Penny Bromley at Flybe.

Does anybody have any idea when we find out whether we've got through the essay stage? I sent mine in on Saturday and am anxious to know how long I have to wait to find out!

Captain111,
At least give them 5 working days!!!
FTE are pretty quick but not that quick. They will set a closing date for the essay questions, this will be for everybody, and then they will go through them, but usually once they've received everybody's answers.
They usually answer within a week of the closing date so give them a chance. I know you're keen and that's highly commendable but worrying isn't going to make it any easier.

The only way to make sure if they get it is to receive an email report when the email is opened as they DO NOT send out confirmation emails. The next one they said out is, see you xxxx.... they might tell you if you didnt cut it, not sure, i got further last time than that, shot down at the interview, i was having a bad week though...

Sorry if this has been discussed already; just two quick questions.
1. What is an upset training course?
2. Is the CPL/IR with MCC a long-winded way of saying frozen ATPL? Or if not, what's the difference, and what kind of rammifications will this have?
Thanks for your help.

Well, if I've understood correctly:
CPL/IR - allows you to act as pilot in command for single pilot aircraft or as co-pilot, when you are flying for commercial purposes. Or as pilot in command or co-pilot for any non-commerical purpose.
ATPL - entails another theory course. At this stage you are pretty much unrestricted in what type of flying you want to do. After the theory course, you are issued with a frozen ATPL, which means you have all the theoretical knowledge to command any commercial flight, just not the experience. Therefore, to 'unfreeze' (or thaw??!!) the ATPL you have to complete 1500hrs of flying.
i.e. the answer to my question was: an ATPL theory course.
I think that's right, but please don't quote me on it!

I havn't head either. Usually they say if you have not got to the next stage, so i am guessing they just havn't finished reading questions, or are still waiting for some or maybe they are holding off to see if they can pick up a few more candidates at the Flyer Show next week?
No news might be a good sign, it might be in need of some more applications, but i doubt it...
So prep for the next phase, there are pilapt tests, four of them, deviation, patterns, flying boxes and left hand man...
There are also General maths, numerical and verbal reasoning...
Prep can just be revising basic math, like long dividion, multiplication, trig and bodmas, fractions and thats about it, rest is pretty usual and easy math...

I'm in on this too, I sent my questions back about 10 days ago, and I can't wait for the results. I have a place on the June course at FTE anyway as a self sponsored (deposit paid) but I would love to go as a Flybe cadet.
Apparently stage 3 is very similar to the standard FTE selection, since I did that quite recently I am hoping I can carry those results over to Flybe selection.
A friend of mine starts at FTE as a Flybe cadet in about 2 weeks, he said it took a few weeks from answering the essay questions until the results came out.

Well if I remember correctly, selection days are 23rd to 26th? So they need to let us know sometime next week... or early the week after.
Anyone know if they run the selection over the weekend? Or are there only really 2 selection days? (24th and 25th are sat, sun)
For thomsonfly, there were 5 days with 2 sessions per day and 4 people per session.... assuming the same structure and only 2 days, thats only 16 people to the next stage
