Flybe interview
There are a few Flybe threads on this forum, but most of them concentrate on the pro's and con's of working for said airline. There's very little to be found on the interview one could expect with them. I have one later this week and would appreciate it if someone could tell me a little of what to expect, tech questions (if any), number of interviewers etc?
Many thanks
Bazza
EDIT -
I should add im a cpl/ir/mcc holder recently finished integrated course if that makes any difference to interview.
Which base(s) could I expect if successful?
Many thanks

I REALLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE
Basing depends on where the gaps are when you finish training - a little flexibility goes a long way. The company don't seem to be worried about integrated or modular. Usually 2-3 people conducting interview. Friendly interview, will want to find out about you, what you've done in the past that's relevant to (hopefully) your new job etc. As with any interview, be honest. Research the Q400.

Baz,
I got a phonecall yesterday Afternoon So I guess I will might see you in Exeter on Thursday!!
I asked what the format of the interview is on the phone. They siad it will be a few standard questions lasting about 45mins to an hour. Asked one of my mates who is already working there and he told me its a informal chat nothing too tricky!!
Oh yes Know the company history
Good Luck

The interview is a nice relaxed one where they really just want to find out about you, be honest, positive, and enthusiastic about working for them and make sure you know exactly why you want to work for them.
Ive been to an interview with another airline interview and i felt so stressed through the whole thing, little or no room for manoeuvre where as the flybe one was a breath of fresh air because the interviewers put you at ease as quickly as possible so that you can perform at your best!
Best advice, make sure you know about the company, and more importantly make sure you know yourself!

I've applied to Flybe about 5 times. First time applied was back in the days of CV and letter at age 38 (now 40). Done the online application about 3/4 times. 600 hours and current. Never hear a sausage !!?????

I think my interview was as a result of the mess that is the FTE recommendation system, though I did fill in an online application about 3 months ago. I'm 22.
And thanks for the replies so far, nice to know it's not going to be overly daunting (i hope).

...crumbs.
Kind of kicks my 6mth plan into touch. Guess i'll keep the day job going.
ATR rating sounds like a top idea though - BOUND to get things moving in the right direction for you.
All the best.

Has anyone filled in the online application lately? The following quote is from the website - "The flybe Pilot Recruitment Team have now received over 800 applications for First Officer positions with the Company. We intend to commence First Officer Recruitment during July 2007 and will be contacting individuals over the next few weeks". Im just wondering whether its worth filling in just now or waiting a little while. It seem there may be enough applications being processed already.

Deano,
I've contacted the HOT of AerArann via email, he said that if i got myself an ATR rating, i'd get an interview. A good friend of mine has just left for easy, but whilst there, he did everything to help me, gave the C/P a CV and "held on file" for future intakes.
I've gone the slighty unconventional route to getting a job, I work in france on a very good contract and then come home on the weekends to do part-time instructing. The contract is hopefully going to pay for the rating so i don't go even more in hock.
I'm sure things will happen, good luck to those who are trying.
