Flybe Recruitment Online Applications

[MIKECR]

Yeah, from the last recruitment drive more like! I hardly think they've sifted 800 applications, interviewed all prospective candidates, and sim checked them since the reopening of the website not even a month ago!!!!

[Fireboy]

I also had the confirmation email, I think Flybe will wait until the New Year before they call for interviews etc.

[Ex Oggie]

Well I would be delighted to be proved wrong.

However the 800 would be whittled down to about 300 after the automatic online filtering. Then, IC states there is a maximum of 50 places for 2008.

I personally know of at least half a dozen who were interviewed and sim checked during December from the latest recruitment drive, and given start dates for January 08.

Time will tell, but if the online app is still working, then keep updating your details!

The online application is still open, I'm sure if they had finished recruiting the application would be closed just like last time.

[MIKECR]

Moggie,

if what you are saying is correct then these half dozen people you refer to have all - applied, been interviewed, been sim checked and offered jobs, all in roughly 3 weeks since the website reopened!!?? I find that hard to believe im afraid

[speedrestriction]

As far as I know, the start dates and initial base have now been given to all succesful applicants.

XO I would be very surprised if that is the case. I am also quite sceptical of there being only 50 places for next year. Where are you getting your information from?

[woodcoc2000]

I too have heard of one person being interviewed etc lately(last month); but i also hear that this was purely due to his residency status in the channel islands. This was just before the on-line application opened. In other words i think it wasnt really part of this latest round..

I would be surprised if anyone hears anything before the new year. Dont be shy when you get a phone call, let us all know...

Well it's up to you what info you take on board, I am just passing on what I know for the benefit of all. I am completeing references for two of them, so I think I have a fair handle on what is going on.

flybe interview

Hi all,
Just to give you all a heads up....i got a call today to attend for interview early january....i was actually offered dec 31st but took the later date.I applied about three weeks ago.So its moving again!
all the best!

[maxalphaboy]

I applied 5 weeks ago tomo and still not heard anything from them? Just wondering where you trained and what your experience is??

Thanks
MAB

[MIKECR]

Not disbelieving you Mogee, i just find the time frame quite incredible. I had heard of 1 or 2 recently being interviewed within the last few weeks but they were all people who had applied nearly 6 months ago for the previous recruitment drive. What sort of experience levels are these people that your writing references for then?

[MIKECR]

mean to say 'Ex Oggie'!!

[macgiollarua]

Hi MAB
I completed my training at Naples air centre in florida in june...then ptc in waterford for the MEIR and finished MCC in august with parc...350 hours total....had a ppl for a few years prior to that.have to say PTC have been very helpfull with getting interviews.Also have the ryanair option coming up in jan also.....so its not looking all that bad.

good on ya mate. i have a similar training background eg: started in North America and finished here in uk. have close to 1000 hrs and applied to flybe many times but nothing yet.. go figure.. am not even that ugly or old... let us know how it goes, all the best.

[AceOfHearts]

Just for the peace of mind for any one else who is in my boat (no acknowledgement email), I have contacted Flybe and they have said they have got my application and will get back to me in due course.

Contrary to what is said about "unsolicated phone calls" and Flybe, I found Flybe HR team very friendly and open people - that's on more than one occasion.

recruit numbers

Dont know if i am wrong, but am sure IC said at the Balpa conference that they needded about 100 bodies next year?.

P

[LL-Snowman]

thats what I hear when i was sat on the 3rd row. 100 f/o's required for 2008. Not expecting a call from them until the new year tho. Good things come to those who wait.

[woodcoc2000]

yep 100 fo's total; but 50 of these are coming from their schemes with selected schools(cabair). so that leaves 50 to come from the present recruitment process.

[dartagnan]

in their flybe form, what means:

Refering to attempts taken to pass your ME/IR

Series One pass relates to passing your IR on the first attempt or re-sitting and then passing an intial partial
