Should I be worried?!
Has everyone who sent off the questions received an email confirming that it arrived?! I didn't get one and people are already getting phone calls now! If they don't want me because I'm unintelligent and have a face like a mandrill's then thats fine but to not get an interview because of interweb gremlins would be darn annoying (strong language I know!).

Flies-like-a-chicken,
I didn't get an e-mail confirmation after sending back the 8 questions either so we are in the same boat!
Think I'll try and give FTE a call tomorrow and see what they say.

i'm off to exeter next week.
does anybody know much more with regards to the loan? is it fairly easy to get with the backup of flybe's scheme? technically i shouldnt have much problem as I am a home owner, but it does worry me slightly...
as far as the tests are concerned, i phoned flybe and FTE and the word seems to be the usual psychometric speel about being yourself etc.
it seems that everyone got a phone call on monday. certainly i didn;t receive confirmation of the eight questions being received by FTE, but i did phone them last week to enquire what was happening...

I've heard nothing - no phone call, and no email confirmation!
Quite worried, and at the same time frustrated! I'd like to hear either way, just to put my mind at ease. Maybe a bit of chasing up is going to be what it takes, but i imagine if we didn't hear on Monday, then it's hard luck, i'm afraid.

Phone call
Hi guys i dont think you get a confirmation email but i did phone fte to make sure they had recieved mine within the three days.
Does any one know what happens on the interview day i.e. nx week, is it just an interview or do we have tests aswell it says you should allow 4 hours... very long grilling.

Are you heading down to exeter for the 24th?
I've been accepted through to phase 3 as well... I guess I'll see you there.
Did Jerez call you to confirm your attendance? When they got in touch with me, i asked them what the day would entail, they said the following:
-Applitude tests (similar to GAPAN's or the RAF's)
-Verbal Reasoning tests
-Numerical tests
-Interview
There might be more, but thats all i was told. should fill the 4 hours they estimate nicely.
I'm heading down the day before (tomorrow
) and staying at a hotel... 9am at exeter just isn't possible from Peterborough by train.
hope this lot helped :P

Hi Guys,
I'm off to exeter tomorrow aswell. I did the tests and everything last year at FTE, pretty basic stuff; its just the normal PILAPT test,. flying through boxes, keeping the lines over the dot and all the spacial awareness stuff.
The written tests are fairly easy too, if you can pass key stage 3 maths and english then it should all be a doddle. I got faily high percentages last year at FTE, around the 755 mark and they seemed quite happy with that to offer me a place there.
I've no idea what to expect from the interview, there may be a problem solving exercise to do, there is no wrong or right answer, they just want you to explain how you made your decision.
I think it starts at a fairly doo time, plenty of time for me to come from Guildford for a 1315 start. Has anyone else received directions etc yet? i don't exactly know where it is i'm going!?!?"

Testing
Hi guys,
The interview for Stage 3 is just based around 6 questions - all pretty standard stuff, ie: when have you demonstrated leadership etc etc.
As has been mentioned above, the Maths & English testing is all pretty straight forward, plus you get a calculator!!
Think they're probably leaving it pretty tight for a July start though!
Good luck for this week!!

Hi,
I was in Exeter yesterday, the pilapt hasn't changed since i was there, there;s the basic 2d and 3d flying and then the 'negative right circle' bits, where you have to count how many mena have different shapes in their hands. and then you8 have to look for shapes in a puzzle; all fairly straight forward to understand.
The written papers are fairly simple too, all timed. You get 15 mins for the numeracy and 25 mins for the literay and numerical reasoning - and you get a calculator! Make sure its set to the right mode though (Mode and then press 2) or all your answers will come out in fractions!
And the interview with Ali is quite nice, just expanding on lots of the answers you all gavce in stage 2,.
Just be yourself and give them as much info as possible or they won't get to know you for the person you are!
Good luck all and hopefully see you in July in Jerez.
We should all get replies from FTE some time next week to be told whether or not we've been recommended to Flybe, and then we'll have to go for another interview with tghem in early June.
Well done for getting this far anyway!!

Well the interview's all done and out of the way.
It was effectively just selection for Jerez, just hope I get through to the fnal stage - the interview with Flybe
for a scheme that aparently offered very little, there's an awful lot of interest. 282 applicants, but only 32 called to phase 3, purely on the basis of the phase 2 answers, ad only 6 places in total.
Supposedly we hear whats happening about phase4 within 2 weeks, but after the wait following phase 2, who knows?
I just hope they ive us a bit more notice, it's bad enough we're going to have to sort out a loan and pack ourselves off in about 4 weeks, as well as getting a day or two to be told you've got to get dwn to exeter... currently with no car, that was a lot of fuss. still.. I suppose these things set us out as keen and willing, which is what the airline needs.
Best of luck for the phase 4 selection! Let us know when you get confirmation!
cheers

Got a call yesterday inviting me to the phase 4 interview in Exeter. You'd think I'd be happy, but I'm beginning to have doubts about paying off the BBVA loan on a Flybe FO salary. I'm now trying to think of some way to make the whole thing work out before going to the interview.....
Congrats to those who made it through

I got the call to the final stage on friday. They have finally managed to make a fast decision, a bit too fast for me as i was expecting a phone call later on this week and so i have to cut my gliding coompetition in spain short which is a complete bugger as its 32 degrees our here!!
My interview is at 1515 and i'm driving from around the basingstoke/guildford area in Hampshire so if anyone is struggling to get down then give me a shout, i'll probably be leaving at about midday but don't mind leaving a bit earlier if someone relly needs it.
I expect, that if they have all the final stage interviews on thursday which i think they do, then they'll have to make a fairly fast decision so we all get the cash sorted.
I am also wondering how to pay back to BBVA loan, and i have been wondering whether or not its all worth it, but if you've wanted to do it since you were tiny, like me, then i'm sure there'll be a way to work it out, if you want it badly enough.
So, if anyone wants a lift and can contribute a bit to petrol, then email me and we can work something out.
Good luck all
ps: what kind of questions do you think Flybe will be asking us? technical stuff or just trying to find out what kind of person we are???

I pulled out of this thing. Its all one big lie!! Just publicity. First says you pay for the course and they pay for joc and TR. Get there and they say no its a 'bond'!! You'll be paying that off for years on flybes salaries!! Waste of time if you ask me but gd luck anyhow

Has anyone asked Flybe directly about the specifics of the bond yet? Will it just involve working for them for ‘x’ amount of years, or paying them out of our salary whilst working for them for ‘x’ amount of years?
I admit that if the latter is the case, then it is perhaps not feasible to enter this scheme with a £63k loan. However, if it is simply the former then it will be more manageable.
It would be interesting to hear from anyone on the currently running MAPS scheme about the bond details they have been given. Also, if there are any experienced pilots viewing this thread then it would be helpful to know the rough bonding terms your airline would subject a new pilot to in exchange for their type rating.
