Flybe DHC8 F/O recruitment

[May88]

No, but look at the bright side; At least they don't charge you an attendance fee for the privilege!

Holding your head high is important - But the long radio silence afterwards, while seeing others get a chance almost immediately, is certainly demoralising

I can imagine they have a massive backlog - So many people I know have applied and none have been invited the past year! Puts the 'hiring 15+ FO a month' stories in perspective doesn't it?

Anyone know if a one-day JOC from the likes of CRM Aviation meets the FlyBe JOC requirement?

[Primary Governor]

I've been called for an interview and I don't have a JOC, only TP time.

[Deano777]

You'll most likely get asked to complete a JOC before you undertake the sim check should you be lucky enough to get through the interview. Good luck.

Hi guys,

Can anyone who has recently gone through sim assessment with Flybe tell me if you did it on the Dash 8 sim or a generic sim ? One of my friend has been invited, but he told me that he was told the sim would be a generic 737-800 FNPT fixed base. I couldn't find that info in this thread, neither I read it anywhere on flybe training academy website that they have such a sim. Maybe a recent purchase ?

I think that could be the 737XJ of Simtech, in Dublin

@marcoBCN

That's also what I thought, since they send some applicants to Simtech for JOC. However I didn't know they also have the 737 XJ in Exeter.

[Deano777]

The sim checks are now being conducted on the Embraer 175 sim in Exeter.
There is no 737 sim of any kind in Exeter that Flybe own.

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked further up, has anyone else applied with ATPL subjects just less than 90% and been successful ?

Thanks

Mark

I'll save you the hassle of using the search function; I know, getting type rated on that thing is a b*tch

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No one in this thread has been invited with less than 90%. They also have literally thousands of people on file, that do meet the requirement, and have not been considered yet after months (or year+).

Advice: Fill out the form, cross your fingers, and keep applying.

Has anyone been offered anything other than a Belfast base DHC8 F/O?

thanks

[gefferzz]

Has anyone had an interview after having an application in for over a year?

[Ghostwing]

New Online portal.

Interested to see a new online application coming for flight crew on the website. Wonder what requirements will be for the respective positions, any one care to enlighten?

Hi

Hi guys ,


1 week ago I have received this e-mail,


Flybe Pilot Recruitment


We thank you for your continued patience and confirm that Flybe is actively recruiting First Officers onto its expanding Dash 8 Q400 fleet. We have recruitment and sim assessment sessions set up monthly and look forward to meeting you at one of those sessions. If you have found alternative employment or no longer wish to be considered for a D8 First Officer position it would be most helpful if you could withdraw your application, this saves valuable time when setting up interviews and gives others the opportunity to be invited.

Once again thank you for your interest in joining the Flybe family.

Regards

I wouldn't get too excited. Many thousands got this email last Thursday (as did I), including folks who applied to the airline as long as 10 years ago and also a number of existing Flybe employees. Some sort of database issue I imagine.

Hi, just wanted to reassure people who are waiting. I waited for nearly 8 months and finally got employed by Flybe a few weeks ago. Three of my friends have also been successful with Flybe and have just completed their line training. All seem happy and glad they stuck it out. There is a new portal being used now I believe so it may be worth logging in and checking your original application is still live.

Good luck!

flybynight80, if you don't mind me asking, did you or your friends get in via the Kura 'BESTPILOT' scheme or your own means as it were? Only ask as I'd heard (and it was later confirmed - see a few pgs back on this thread) that Flybe were only looking at Kura grads.

Cheers,

Well,I have asked the HR of flybe they have confirmed that I will get an invitement as soon as a slot is available so it was not a system issue.


Greetings.

Not sure Flybe have a dedicated HR function any more. My understanding is that recruitment will shortly be transferred/outsourced to CTC (this may coincide with the new recruitment portal mentioned on the website). I'm sure someone in Flybe would be happy to confirm.

When is CTC taking over and starting this selection ??
