Flybe recruiting
 

Hi All,

Does anyone know which aircraft types and which bases, CitiExpress and Flybe are currently recruiting for?

Additionally, apart from the airlines own websites, does anyone know of any other sites which have up to date info on fleets, routes and future plans etc.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi,

Can't say much about flybe, guess they'd be recruiting for the Dash8-400 and B737. Have been hearing better news about their recruitment policy in recent times, esp regarding lower hours applicants.

BACX would more than likely be recruiting straight onto the Dash8-300 but their web application site is currently closed, there have been a lot of interviews in recent months with a lot of people placed in the holding pool. I believe the interview process has now changed also.
Please refer to the other CitiExpress thread.

Cheers and good luck, :ok:

Flybe definitely recruiting for the Dash 8 Q400 and in significant numbers. On-line applications only now. Last bases recruited for were Exeter, Norwich and Birmingham, but traditionally Belfast, Glasgow and Edinburgh tend to have problems retaining crews. Very good mix of experience and backgrounds coming through, with no bias against low hours or modular guys, and healthy numbers of the over 30's. No recruitment for 737 as the flight crew are Astraeus not Flybe.

FlyBe 6 weeks??
 

Just wondering if anyone had heard anything? After finishing the application form I read that if I've not heard in 6 weeks then I've not been successfull. Can't be exact but I think that gives me about 10 days. Not heard or read aolt about it on here, other than essay question threads, just wondered if anyone has had better news...........cheers!

Re: FlyBe 6 weeks??
 

Not too sure about this but I would imagine quite a number of suitable candidates filled out the online application form in the few days after it opened.

Given the number of pilots that the company are going to need to recruit, I wonder if applications that exceed the 6 week period specified will be automaticaly binned or deleted. I would hope that suitably qualified pilots would remain on the data base for longer, maybe someone from flybe can give an answer.

I am not holding my breath for a call any time soon, on the wrong side of 40 and a training risk :}

I thought you had a job FF? And you are not the only one the wrong side of 40.

cheers

Re: FlyBe 6 weeks??
 

Considering that the web application went live on the 20th November, the 6 week rule seems ill thought out as the 6th week from that date falls on the 1st of January when no one from recruitment was there.

Also considering that most will have filled out the form soon after the 20th many applicants are now redundant; so I don't think that the 6 week rule will be strictly adheared to. Its just words on a form to give some type of time line.

We'll soon know when people are called forward!

Re: FlyBe 6 weeks??
 

Fully agree Craggenmore, but if it is the case that there is a 6 week limit, what applicants need to know is that the details are still on the data base. It may be possible that a new application needs to be made.

MJR now that would be telling ;)

Anyone know when Flybe's Embraer 195's are expected to arrive? Just a thought that they may be recruiting for that aswell...or else I guess they'll just have to go through another round of recruitment later in the year. Any ideas?:hmm:

Re: CitiExpress/Flybe Recruiting for which types and which bases?
 

Elixir,

The first Embraer 195's are not du to arrive till August, these will be crewed from internal applicant's who have bidded for from the existing 146 and Dash 8 crew's and will not be crewed from external applicant's at the moment.

You're quite right. Tell us Flybe! :suspect:

What's the betting, that if people are excluded from their recruitment drive via a 6 week database filter from whenever they start to look at it, they won't inform those people who applied 'too soon'.

Just imagine, no job because you applied too soon through no fault of your own; and you will never know. :yuk:

Fingers crossed eh?

Re: CitiExpress/Flybe Recruiting for which types and which bases?
 

Maude Charlee, the last I heard there were 6 Flybe crews for one Dash in BHX, so I doubt they'll be recruiting for that, unless there is another on the way, and maybe I'd know that!

Re: CitiExpress/Flybe Recruiting for which types and which bases?
 

Guess you'd better get back in the loop ASAP then. At least 2 new guys joining you very soon, and extra a/c on the way from my info. ;)

Re: FlyBe 6 weeks??
 

The 6 weeks limit by a further 6 weeks due to the level of interest and the number of applications received.

Re: FlyBe 6 weeks??
 

I applied in December and just got a call for interview. About 5 weeks wait. Any more of you out there had any luck?:)

flybe contact
 

Just a quick one as i am having issues with my current email address (ie , being locked out). How did Flybe contact you all regarding your interview dates etc. Just in the event i have been successful and missing out an email.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Safe flying

Munch munch, (this is the sound of me eating my hat!)

I have recently been party to a rumour that there will be three dash's in Brum by the summer, which will mean a busy time for the crews. The 146's will be leaving one by one, leaving (in the long run) all dash's and one E195. Some unhappy 146 drivers will be one the market soon, methinks!!!

Chuckle, chuckle.

I'm rather partial to hats myself. I recommend Salad Cream, particularly for the synthetic materials.
