I believe Flybe use FTC in Jerez and Oxford for the MPL licences. There was no contract for PTC/Flybe in 2012 as far as I saw. They saw through the PTC bull a while back. The Flybe guys were on the whole very good, but they were there in the good days of PTC Florida before Edgeworthless was let back into society..
Nice article from Ollie 1997. It just confirms government connections and that the whole family are in it (along with the new addition the ex CFI of FIT who used his position last year to pass confidential information to PTC's advantage). Allegedly of course

Another total guess from the guy above. There was a deal with PTC Flybe this year, I had an interview in April with Flybe, 4 guys were taken in the end and no doubt got caught up in all this nonsense but are probably training at Oxford instead now.

Indeed, FlyBe have selected 4 part-sponsored candidates in April.
All good blokes - hope they found alternative options for continuation of training.
Quite frankly I am disgusted at the lies PTC continued to tell right up until the point the examiner was appointed (and more than likely continue to tell). They had no intention of putting the students' interests first and I hope they never work in flying again. Unfortunately I fear this will not be the case.
What is wrong with the world!

Just wondering does anyone know if egdeworthless was still judging the 'lovely gerruls' contest earlier this week? RTE must be disgusted now that all that sponsorship money (to clarify: student's money) has dried up, but at least they were nice about the whole ordeal and made sure none of their reporters probed too deeply last month. Amazing how many people I've talked to outside of the aviation community who think the entire problem was caused by FIT in Florida... good old incorruptible media always giving both sides

wrong assumption Preston Pilot, I guess nothing. Flybe had no intention to use PTC whatsoever.
They use CTC, Oxford, FTC and Stella (Netherlands).
They also use Aero's, PAT and BCFT for the modular courses
I suppose to the un-informed PTC, FTC, CTC all sound the same eh?

dude, what are you talking about? I was sat in the interview with them in exeter where 3 people interviewed me, 2 of them from PTC to join PTC in June. 4 people were offered the job and started but PTC now went bust...
if you want I can show you the emails from Flybe dated April 2012

‘Back in the day’ the Edgeworth tribe was so unfeasibly large that is allowed each and every great aunt, seventh cousin and assorted hangar-on to register as bona fide Pprune members
(amazing how few of them are around now that the walls of the sh**thouse have blown apart)
If you’re running short of chuckles trawl through some of the historic PTC threads.
All inconvenient negativity is countered by random ‘college’ members describing their journey from spotted youth to square-cut ATP in terms of transcendent religious experience.
Typically each of these contributors has only a handful of previous posts – with an almost uncanny similarity of writing style to the greatCaptain himself.
On a more serious note, there was a very valid point made in a previous post regarding the influence of PTC’s advertising budget on the moderation of this website.
Certainly there was a bias in moderation here by the suppression of adverse publicity when the PTC scam was at its height.
There were many who attempted to raise a warning flag on the Edgeworth’s operation only to have an eraser rubbed through their efforts.
Perhaps the culpability of Pprune as the ‘media’ should be questioned a little further in this case.
McNulty,
There’s no need to scratch for ‘new material’ on Edgeworth.
The accumulations of his stinking heap should last everyone a lifetime – and then some.
It should be sufficient to ask the question that so many in Ireland are asking about so many un-convicted criminals: Why is he not behind bars?

Mike Edgeworth
I have lost money with PTC, anyone that can give me an exact location of this immoral, unintelligent man, I will be most grateful.
If you would also like a reward, I will happily give a small contribution.

Hey! That’ll be great news for the ‘Nobs’ at Ccastle PPRuNe.
WhenAir Commodore Edgeworth’s bag ‘o’ stolen bills lands on the advertising desk he’ll be buying the finest and most ‘favourable’ moderation that money can buy – yet again!
It’s probably best not to give too much credence to this rumour.
After all, no ‘state authority’ would be dumb and stupid enough to re-issue a training ticket to the likes of this crim.
Not even the IAA would be moroni....Oh NO! wait a minute
