FLYBE

[Tootles the Taxi]

Can I ask why? I thought modular students actually did more hours flying, or am I missing the point?

Thread creep I know but this is probably the foundation of the age old debate regarding integrated vs modular.
Modular graduates do have more hours on course completion but it's not about the number of hours rather the quality of those hours hence flybe's desire for 'one-stop' modular. An integrated student learns the same check list, procedures, techniques, r/t, airspace, & standards right from day one then throughout the rest of the course. The quality of the course is measured & documented in a standard way i.e. problems during training can be easily identified & traced. Modular is often disjointed with a PPL completed at a flying club (usually) then often meaningless hours building leading to a short CPL course flown using different aircraft, procedures etc.
At the end of the day, it is largely down to the person not the type of course - meaning that if you are the type who makes the effort to educate yourself properly & researches the modular route thoroughly you should be O.K. If you need motivating, find self discipline difficult, don't understand the difference between the two routes & can afford it, integrated is probably the way to go.

Yes, that's pretty much it. Let's not turn this into another integrated v modular debate, we've got enough of those as it is. The point I was making is that from the airline's point of view there are relative strengths and advantages to each route, and that if I was making recruitment decisions (and I say again, I'm not) then I would spread my bets and want a mixture of both types.

From the many people I have met who have recently come through the recruitment process, this seems to be exactly what Flybe is doing. A very sensible policy bearing in mind they want (a) people who can pass the TR course in minimum hours, and (b) people who will stick around more than 18 months.

I started with flybe about 18 months ago. I was modular and the other five first officers were modular.

I would take these requirements with a pinch of salt, an keep applying!!

Good luck

Have you searched "Flybe" and "interview"?

I hear from a student at FTE that the next lot of Flybe MAPS and partially sponsored students are due to arrive in Jerez later on today.

Good on Flybe!
