I agree with what you are saying Pick me Flybe, I am just trying to do as much research as I can. If I`m applying for a scheme tagged with an airline then I would like to see where this could lead and what potential it has for my career.
I would rather do too much research then too little and thankyou to everyone with your responses. It has confirmed that to me that this really is a great opportunity!!

I see where your coming from duir, I do need to get the license first but I think you have got the wrong impression of why I started this thread.
I wanted to enquire about the benefits of being tagged to Flybe wihile obtaining the license, if they are a good company to work for and if this provides a good foundation for further enhance career prospects. I already mentioned before how I would love the opportunity to fly the Q400.
Your quite right there is no rush and with everyones such positive replys about working for Flybe on this thread I would imagine many do not leave due to bad managemet, crews, lifestlye, etc but for an increase in salary to pay the bills and have some more spare change to enjoy lifes little luxuries with.
Thanks again for everyones opinion, fingers crossed for all those who have recently applied to the Maps scheme that we make it to stage 3!

Spot on!!
Moral seems poor at Cityflyer - I believe there are several skippers wanting to jump ship to a Q400 at EDI rather than continuous touring thru LCY.
Pay is crap and it still has 'CP the exocet' as the Chief Pilot

Well Maude Charlee, we did get out of the wrong side of bed didn't we? Instead of (attempting) to insult me, try re-reading what I said re the 195. You may have noticed that I added the caveat 'as I understand it'. As a new joiner with low hours, when a line training captain tells you on about day 3 that this is how it works, forgive me for assuming that he might have accurate information. I obviously damaged your oh so delicate sensibilities so for that I sincerely apologise and offer you a hanky to dry your eyes on.
Oh and if you'd bothered to also read my location you may have put 2 and 2 together and realised that, no, I am not in fact SOU based.
That is good news about seniority, much fairer than 'the tosh' that I was told. I can only assume that the person that told me must have misunderstood the integration of the BACON chaps into the seniority list after the merger?
Back on topic, good luck with your Flybe selection all that are going. First get the job, then love it.

PPJN says FOs start on £34k at Cityflier and a mere £24k at Flybe so someone is wrong.
