PAT have aparrently got themselve added as an "approved FTO" as well but haven't made it in lights on the Flybe website. That pretty much covers just about all the decent modular FTO's in the UK that Flybe will hire from!

I am am not an ex FTE grad and have no wish to 'over sell' them. The fact is there are a lot of them in our crewrooms too. One of their recent starters told me that FTE had stated that Flybe had recruited 25% of all their output in the last two years, therefore

I believe that Flybe's largest supplier of integrated school recruits come from FTE - but not on every course
There are certainly a lot of recruits from Oxford & Cabair amongst other schools too. The reason for the focus on FTE is only because Flybe & FTE have announced the MPL - the subject of the thread.

also

Flybe will of course take quality candidates from any source.
provided they comply with the criteria you suggest .

Don't oversell FTE, there are other ways to join Flybe.
It would appear you and me both

With the modular approach to Flybe, I have read numerous articles in flight etc that flybe req that your flight training to be done at no more than 2 FTO.

Obviously I will get in touch with flybe to firm it up but was wondering if anyone knew for definite from what stage in your training.

Is it just commercial onwards (after writtens)? e.g.
PPL place A
Writtens fATPL place B
then no more than 2 providers after this for your CPL/ME/IR/MCC?

So tech. from the start you could have done your training in 4 places, your PPL at one place, your writtens ar another, THEN CPL/ME/IR somewhere else, MCC somewhere else as well.

Cheers guys n gals.

Also do you think it makes a big difference if you went with a FTO that is not on flybe's recruitment pages, like Bristol or Stapleford? As they do have Atlantic and Aeros on their website.

In analysing Flybe's modular preference for no more than 2 FTOs for training, forget anything and everything to do with PPL stage training.

They are talking about commercial training only, and yes, I believe this also includes the groundschool.

However, remember, Flybe are only one of a large number of airlines/operators where you can start your commercial career. Go down whichever route best suits your circumstances, and which you believe gives you the best chance of gaining that licence. Don't blinker yourselves to just one potential employer, however good a place it may be to get your career underway.

Once you have a certain level of genuine commercial experience under your belt, the world is your oyster and all this will seem trivial and irrelevant. A bit like your school exam results once you've been working for a living for X number of years.
