airbus,boy...

I am embarrassed for you.

This has cheered up my day.:D

schoolbus,boy,

welcome to the prune!

I heard this childs patter reeks!!

Can anybody confirm to me that if you get a job on the Q400 u do not have to pay for the tr, but are bonded for 3years instead?

Cheers

True, it's a monthly reducing bond over 3 years

Met Ian Cheese in person recently. He told me they have 800ihs application forms by now. Looking for 70 to 80 FO's, not all from approved schemes (FTE ecc, ecc...).

Anybody with a recent call/mail?

Best things

PZ :ok:

No that airbus geezer is winding you up. No one is THAT ignorant!

why do you want to work for flybe?
 

"why do you want to work for flybe?

while this might be an easy question for some i was looking for peoples input as to what the recruiters might be looking for with this question?

expanding airline, good employer, career development, opportunity to work with progressive and developing airline, europes largest regional operator etc....

any help would be appreciated!
thanks

let me guess...
...maybe for money???

Forget it
 

See my latest thread about Flybe - they treat their EXPERIENCED pilots badly - I should know as I have worked for them in the past and have many pilots friends there ...... also they might be going down the pan as bit off more than they can chew with BA Connect - as THEIR pilots want out!!

Look elsewhere!

belsenbaby,

I've got a brand-spanking CPL/IR, less than 300hrs, a s**t load of debt and Virgin, BA and Cathay won't return my calls - where else would you suggest I look mate?:}

Pay no attention. I've been at Flybe for ages. Got my first job, on a jet, got my first command on the Dash, and got my first jet command. I live where I want, I earn more than enough and I enjoy the job and the flying.

Good luck.

Chesty,

Now THAT'S what I want to hear about! :ok:

I've done a fair bit of research on flybe and they seem like a decent bunch.

If Cheesey offers me an interview - i'll bite his arm off!

Ignore the whingers - most of them were abused as children.

You'll enjoy it as much as you want to enjoy it. Works for me.

Recruitment Manager
 

I don't think Ian cheese is dealing with recruitment anymore?? However I could be wrong, If so I stand corrected and hope to meet him in the interview room!

Things are slowly beginning to settle down with the new enlarged company, still a few hiccups. However, every day I head down to the airport with a smile on my face and I work with a fantastic group of people. Enough said.

sr

He was, at least till 2 or 3 wks ago when we met at my home's airport lounge...:E

R U gonna go for an interview then? As I understood they are a bit stuck with a CV pile reaching the roof. Any details from insiders?

PZ :ok:

You have obviously done no research at all.

18 months in and all 11 of my former Flybe friends have left citing roster disruption and a punishing 4 sector day, 5 on and (just) 2 off schedule...:uhoh:


............Due to the quick turnaround perhaps :confused:

Once you get your first job, after 6 months its all about lifestyle. Flybe lives off wannabes and they are prepared to lose pilots because the management know that OAT/Cabair will stuff them with newcomers. Look at the heavy advertising they put out in all the newspapers. Summer is hitting hard as they work small bases to the max. Rumour has it that Flybe and BACON have seperate briefing tables; morale - sorted..! Just ask all the loyal pilots who have to put up with covering contract pilots coming in for a short term shifts not wanting pensions, stability and requested days off.
A good place to start Im sure. I would have signed on the line if they had been polite enough to have answered my application but Ive always believed that things happen for a reason. :D

Half the CV pile will have found jobs elsewhere by now.
