So do you get bonded to FlyBE if you are pre-selected for the MAPS FTE scheme? If so, At what point do you become bonded, before leaving for Jerez or is it when they agree to TR you in Jerez?
If you are paying 63k and being bonded you will need some "carrot" in return?

Sicky It seems there are three possible outcomes, please confirm your opinions
1, You are accepted on FlyBE MAPS scheme - if so bonded due TR and Upset training? Do you have the opportunity to look elsewhere if wanted? If I could guarentee myself a job on jets elsewhere could I turn down FlyBE? At what point would you have to do this?
2, If you are not suitable for FlyBE via exeter interviews then you get accepted on the FTE scheme as a non pre-selected candidate. You therefore have the opportunity of applying to a world of airlines inc the possiblility of impressing FlyBE at a later stage?
3, You are not successful with either FTE or FlyBE and offered no place

Yomomma -
You are not bonded if you are accepted for the flybe MAPS scheme. Basically you are paying for the course as per a self-sponsored student. The difference kicks in with a bit of mentoring and monitoring from flybe during your training. If you meet all of flybe's requirements and they have a need for pilots (i.e. no guarantee), they'll pay for TR and upset at which point you'll become bonded to the airline (feel free to correct if this wrong). During your initial training I imagine there is opportunity to jump ship for another airline if you impress enough, as you are paying for the entire course yourself and not under obligation to join flybe (quick tip - don't mention jumping ship at interview).
I would have thought reading all the bumph and knowing what you were getting into before applying would have been wise . Good luck.

They will hire you if you are succesfull at the selection, and act as a normal student during the course.
Normally if they don't need pilots on graduation, you will be held in a holding pool I suppose.

Hey all
Was just wondering what sort of questions are asked in the numercy and numercial reasoning tests? I know that some people disagree with giving detailed accounts to these things, but even information on how hard/easy these tests are, and what one should "brush up on" Any insight would be appreciated. Just thought I'd ask "ask and you may recieve and all that"
Cheers

From what i could tell there are 24 in phase three, and as an educated guess i recon they would want to half that for phase four, so 12, and there are six places up for grabs.
Thursday should be the day we know if we have made it or not, it may well be sooner. I am looking forward to the results, i applied for the hell of it, so no matter what i have got something out of it if its not a phase four invite. I have learnt what not to say in an interview, should have been obvious but i just had to open my mouth at the wrong momenet with the wrong thought on my mind, and it came out... Oh well hey, i have wrote a little about my phase three, will post it on my blog, i remember most questions from the papers and interview, they did have little variations person to person, there was seven questions that we all was asked, but different questions was asked inbetween the set questions that just i guess gathered some additional info.
Good luck to you all, hope to be seen you at phase four, would like it even better to see you out in Jerez and at Pilot Induction at FlyBe two years down the line...

I don't know what the requirments are. As for the other question, BE would probably give you the training, then take it out of your pay check when you start working for them.
