Is anyone still waiting for an invitation? I'm surprised, as I've applied to FTE cadet schemes several times, usually I get an answer (positive or negative) fairly quickly after everybody else on PPRUNE

I did ask on the day, but there was no specific answer. I can't remember for sure, but I think Flybe has to approve the successful people before they get an email?

Maverick, FTE estimated we should hear back from them within 2-3 weeks. Also, I think you're right about Flybe having to approve the successful people first, since they will send the 8 best performing candidates to Flybe for verification.
Anyone here attend the afternoon slot on the 8th?

Either that or FTE will give all the candidates that they'd be willing to take on the course and then FlyBe will take 8 from that.
I was morning of the 8th. So we probably would've met.

Fair enough. I don't know. I was pretty much brain dead by the time of that Q&A. The only reason I suggested was because in the CityFlyer MPL - Stage 3 was just FTE, and they sent all the candidates who FTE would take to CF and then CF picked 12 to interview at Stage 4. I guess FTE and FlyBe are just condensing the process down a bit.
How did it go? No idea. The only thing that's let me down in previous assessments is the interview. I'm thinking it might be similar this time but who knows. Find out soon enough

I had a pleasant conversation with the Manager of FTE at the end of my session on the 9th. From what I got is:
- 2-3 weeks before any information of the final candidates will be released. FTE will contact those candidates to make offers.
- FTE this time is making a lot more of the decision on who are going to be the final candidates, Flybe is taking a more hands off approach, therefore there is no stage 4 in the selection process.
- FTE will be contacting individual candidates in 2-3 weeks to provide individual feedback to them. Some of the candidates will be receiving offers for there whitetails progam which do not make the final cut for Flybe.
- Your results/performs will be good for 6 months, at which time you will need to retake the testing process.
- there were 10 candidates selected per day for evaluation for the 4 days
- FTE does not know if there will be another campaign in 2017 for a FTE/Flybe
In my case....as this was the first time for me to attend any pilot selection interview, I felt that all went well except the pilot aptitude test on the computer...that through me for a loop and most likely sunk me for the selection process. If I am given another opportunity, I will surely do much better next time as I will practice the aptitude test before attempting again.
The part which I found the most interesting was the group exercise, never have done that before...and it was interesting to see how the group came to the final conclusions.
Good Luck to you all.

Q1: Does anyone here know if the financial commitment is paid in instalments/stages or a one time front end of ~GBP89?
Q2: From what I understand from FTE, the MPL program is to be conducted in pairs, that is why they always have even number of students. Does anyone know what happens if an individuals drops out (due to financial reasons or poor performance) during the process to the remaining cadet?

Should be instalments. Their self sponsored ATPL is, and previous MPL schemes both from FTE and other FTOs have been too.
In response to Q2, not sure what would happen, I didn't even know that was how it worked tbh
