Hi guys/girls!
I really like the idea of this course!
Just wondering if the course's aim is to obtain a MPL licence or an ATPL. Because I've heard that if, for any reason, the you become jobless, not every airline accepts an MPL. Is it true?
Is the course available also to people who already have a PPL, like me?
And, by any chance, does somebody know if this course's graduates become F/O on Flybe's E-Jets?

This particular course gives you a frozen ATPL but flybe do have MPL courses with both Oxford Aviation and FTE in Jerez.
In the future yes, but everyone starts on the Q400. The E175/195 is then bid for internally based on seniority.

Congratulations. This is superb news.
To get your licence paid for without having to tap Mum and Dad is quite an achievement. More especially with an absolute 100% guarantee of a job at the end.
Most people seem to get their parents to pay these days, so you folks are the exception.
Well played.

I understand... do you happen to know if they accept people with experience too (PPL) or should the applicants have absolutely no experience? I can't find this information anywhere!

There is no 'myth' surrounding 60 hrs max flying experience - it is a specified requirement, but as with all things there is an element of flexibility. It has been applied to all recent courses.

Well regardless of how many hours you have, its how many of those hours that are structured and unstructured that counts. What I mean by this is that you may have 90 odd hours of which 75 hours is dual and structured training and the remaining is just PIC. I do not know how they select people based on it exactly, but this is definetly one of the things they consider. But I know people that gone through cadetschemes with excess of 60 hours, so dont be put off by it.
