Have a read through the terms and endearment section and do a search on flybe going back the past few years and you will see that they are not a happy bunch. They have a higher than normal turnover rate of staff. Many of the FO's head for the hills once they have experience under their belts as they are poorly paid compared to their peers (to the tune of 20k or more pa!). There are promises of pay rises which don't arise, promises of promotions onto the 146 which are dangled as carrots to keep you loyal. Unfortunately they have become a stepping stone airline rather than one which you would want to develop a long term career. By all means go for it but go in with open eyes being fully aware of what you are getting yourself into as 5 years is a long time to be locked in.

According to Keren at Cabair they will be contacting people around the end of this week. They have LOTS of applications by the sounds of things!
Good luck everyone! NJP

Well I just got the good news that I'm through to Phase 1 via email. Anybody else heard anything? I guess that Phase 1 is held down at Cranfield, What would be the best way to get there? Flight to Luton and then a taxi?

I'm through as well... I think Luton is the best option... unless Cranfield is good for trains? I'm hoping the confirmation letter might give some advice on getting there.

Got my confirmation letter this morning. 26th September it is. Got myself booked on Easyjet 9.25 Edinburgh-Luton returning at 21.00. If anyone on the same flight wants to share a taxi to Cabair give me a shout.

Got word back from cabair today stating that they would not be accepting me on the course, and i should consider that as final.
. Does anybody know of any other sponsorship schemes which are coming up, except for ctc wings.

Looks like i'm not coming either - phoned them today and it looks like you only got through to the next stage if you received an email on friday so you could book time off.
Still waiting for the letter though so hopefully it'll say something different: fingers crossed!
Oh and well done to all those who did get trhrough! I got quite far with the Flybe/FTE scheme so if you want any info on the interviews etc then pm me

I 've received a rejection letter yesterday. It seems that there is a "sympathy" with guys from abroad...
I hope this is not the case. Has anyone not British passed to the next phase???

I'll be there too, if anyone wants a lift down from the Derby area, give me a shout.
The letter says there will be three aural/written tests, based on A/S Maths/Physics. Aah! Less than a week to revise A/S level, its been over four years since I did them...
Does anyone have any previous experience of the areas covered in the tests? I hope I'm not going to have to revise all that pure maths rubbish...
see you there!
