Flybe recruiting

[Craggenmore]

Ramshorn,

Having just taken over BACON why are FLYBE opening up their recruitment database again (especially considering that no one was plucked the last two times?)

Put dual in P2 and the rest under P1

[BIG MISTER]

Take a look in March 2007's FLYER magazine for an interview with Flybe as regards their requirement for pilots over the coming years. Might answer some of your questions.

Good Luck !

Which leads to me ask, how does one define an 'experienced first officer'.
I've got 1000hrs single crew with 500 multi engine but no multi crew hours. Is it worth me going along to one of their recruitment days ?

[bunnywabbit]

YES!Your in a better situation than most with that twin time!
The amazing part about it its FREE no fifty quid to read your CV.What have you got to lose even if your present employment is okay there is no harm in networking and keeping abreast of the industry gossip.

[Polarhero]

Bunny is right, whats is it going to cost to go? Petrol money to drive to it and thats about it.

Thats the reason i am going to the one in Leeds on the 27th, and i only have 340 hrs total. Whats the worst they can do not give me a job well nothing new there.

I always say if you don't ask you don't get, so go for it.

Cheers



P.S if anyone from the Lincoln sort of area wants a lift drop me a PM

Expect salary around 23k with a NON reducing bond over 3 years of 13.5k. By experienced seems they want airline experience on JAR25 to be considered for better pay and prospects. Know someone who had over 4000 hrs incl 1300 MCC commercial multi turbine and 2600 P1 who was told they'd get standard deal mentioned here.

[Hirsutesme]

The NON reducing bond is about to go, it will revert to usual taper.

[angelorange]

I think they will need to improve the start pay and offer more secure basing to attract more experienced FOs. Even Oxford are now paying 40k basic for PA34 Instructors.

Hi gents...
Just dropped in after a while. I wonder if anyone has news from their HR dept. since I need to update my CV after I submited my AF long ago (Dec, just after they reopened...). Is anyone that is worth to talk with? In the past I had a nice chat with a lady that took care of my request and acknowledge of positive outcome. I tried again, then but without joy, so...

Thanks a lot to those who can help

Turboprop Vs. Jet salary

A job on the Q400 with Flybe your starting salary is around £24k whereas on the BAe 146 with Flybe you start on around £35k. You get paid almost 50% more with jets, why is this the case?

Also, how much does the Flybe flight pay amount to annually?

Thanks in advance

[Dude~]

PPJN says flybe flight pay was £1.77/hr in 2005, so you could expect about £1500 anually. In some airlines you get about this ammount for duty hours, not just flight time, so you might get nearer £3000pa.
No idea why jets are so much better paid but I sure a glad they are!

Hi, does antone have any idea of when the dates of the road shows are? i can't seem to find them on the flybe website. Perhaps someone can post any details they have. Thanks

Probably because they are faster, carry more people and make a bigger revenue for the company.

[silverknapper]

I know it has been comented on before but a good mate of mine who now sits in the LHS of an airbus always laughs at how as he passed every stage of his self improver route - from instructing on a BCPL through single crew air taxi and turboprop work to his current job, the salary has always increased, whilst the job gets easier!

[mad_bob]

Nope, the reason we get paid more on the Jet is quite simply we are better looking than those on the Turbo fleet

[angelorange]

Because we are better looking ! ...?

From other pprune thread apparently a 10 year Jet Captain takes home £3300 per month which includes flight pay and benefits - This less than an EZY FO !!!!
Nice how Turbo start salary has dropped £3000pa in just 3 months!

[south coast]

Are the roadshows, just 'turn up when you like' type thing and have a chat, or are they a programmed day and you should be there from the start till the end?

They are not like a thing that you have to book to go aswell, can anybody just turn up?

Online Application

Tried applying online but cannot register. After filling in all the fields in the registration page the only option is to return to the previous page. Any ideas?

mikepops,

If I recall from last week they send you an e-mail with a password. Simply return to the online aplication with your password and log-on. I have to say, well done to Flybe for finally getting a decent online application system up and running - much better than their previous system. From chatting to a friend of mine he said it sounds identical to the Easy Jet system which is also run by Bond !

Good luck.
Cheers,
