Hi guys I'm just curious what background you current applicants have? The reason I ask is because I'm trying to build up a picture of what jobs are genuinely out there for low hours pilots and what's required to actually get the job. Any responses would be greatly appreciated

I went for an interview recently and there was a huge mix of pilots. Someone from the RAF, a few cadets from CTC, cabin crew, at least one with a fair bit of biz jet experience.
It is true about CTC, they told us at the interview! Real shame as I can guarantee as a non CTC pilot I would have not got in if I had interviewed via the CTC route.

I'm a bit confused by this.
Now CTC are running the application portal does that mean that they could "discriminate" against non CTC pilots?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Spoke to one of my former students over the weekend who's recently graduated from CTC. Said that they weren't applying through the new portal but through their existing hold pool. So perhaps there's some hope for the non-CTCers...

Cancel my last, just has a scan through the CTC (Flybe) app form. There is reference to JOC and where you did it. A cynic might suggest they are using the Flybe app portal to identify AQC candidates. Because you can't possibly fly a Q400 without having done at least 16hrs on a JOC! what a load of

JOC requirement
Under the previous Bond recruitment system there was a huge perception that Flybe wouldn't look at you without a JOC, but anyone with the time and inclination to wade through the various pages on this thread will find confirmation from someone on the inside that it isn't (or wasn't) a mandatory requirement at application stage. If Flybe liked the look of you, you were sent off to Simtech to do a JOC before commencing a TR. Anyone on the inside like to confirm this? Heaven alone knows what the new approach is, but it will undoubtedly involved CTC somewhere along the line.

CTC will naturally prefer their candidates over others - simply business - but it's all supply and demand - if they had enough people to supply then airlines wouldn't be seeing a shortage leading to a recruitment drive ..... They would quietly recruit internally as they have always done so......
I feel this is changing and hence - if they see less people doing the 16 hr Courses - they will ask you to add it on provided you fit the profile.
Eitherway you have to wait and see
a painful wait but hope is a great thing......
My turmoil continues with this wait....��
