Flybe hold pool

Hey there,

Almost 3 months ago I passed my grading at BAe Woodford on the 146 sim. They told me I was going to be placed in their holdpool....
I have been sending several emails to Flybe, but none of them was answered. Maybe there are some people here who know how big the Flybe holdpool is, and if there is a date at which they will start training again.
The summerseason should be ended now....

Another question:
On my old CV is a phone number which doesn't exist any more. Does someone know which steps to take, to let Flybe know my new number (besides sending an email )

Cheers

With the number of resignations coming up you WILL get a call fairly shortly my friend. Good Luck.

Thanks,

Just sended another email to Flybe. The reply was very fast this time. I Am fourth on their list now. They also said that the TQ's probably start in the next year. Problems with sim slots (again, or still)

Cheers

Patience my friend. Summer season doesn't really finish until towards the end of October, but things are slowing down and airlines are definitely beginning the recruitment process. Flybe are now fishing applicants out of the hold pool for the end of November onwards, so if you are 4th in the queue, then you will be getting a call very shortly. Make sure they have your current mobile phone number and that you keep it handy at all times.

And I was just starting to perfect my backstroke too.

Sorry if this sounds a bit off topic but I have to try...

Any No-UK EU citizen applied with this company? I have addressed my CV with a cover letter to Mr.D.Darby via email but not even an automated "received message" reply.

Any clues?

Thanks everyone!

PZ

Hold pool definitely getting emptied. Keep swimming as it won't be long. It'll be just my luck I get a verrucca now I'm on dry land.

At least 30 over the next couple of months so they'll need attrition replacement pilots for them as well as new crews for the extra aircraft that are being purchased and the new bases.
