Hi guys,
I've got my final board interview for Flybe Sponsorship soon and I was wondering whether any of my esteemed PPruning colleagues had been through this and could offer any pointers on what sort of questions were asked? Particularly what sort of scenario questions (drunk captain, lost licence etc) were you asked and what were your resonses (if you're willing to divulge such secrets!)

Many thanks,

VTOL

VTOL,


I have successfully been through the Flybe selection process, although it was a couple of years ago now.

My final interview was with the head human resources manager from flybe and it was held at cranfield. I was expecting a Cabair representative to be involved but it ended up being just me, HR guy and his personal assistant. There was no one there who was a pilot, so no trickey questions about flying scenarios. The whole thing was very laid back, much more so than I expected, both the Flybe people were very nice. The whole interview started with something along the lines of "we are not here to grill you on facts and figures, we just want to get to know you and to answer your questions".

Questions I was asked:

What do you know about the history of FlyBe?
Do you know what sort of aircraft we operate and to where?
Tell us about yourself?
What are your strong points and weak points?
Why do you want to be a pilot?

Most of the info about the company can be found on their website, they didn't at any stage get into any specifics such as number of aircraft, types of engines, or specifications.

Just be yourself and answer honestly, read up on all the information on the website and enjoy it. The whole interview lasted about 20 minutes, no where near as scary as I thought that it would be.

Good luck for thursday!

AH,
many thanks for the gen. All good stuff and nothing there that I wasn't expecting to see.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Gareth - we'll probably end up flying Dash 8's and I don't know about next year, but I would have thought so.

Sagey mate, you're dead right - VTOL, you're a grand example. Well deserved after many years of cracking away at the sponsorships. Ever thought about writing a book about the selection processes for BA, BMI, etc. etc.

I'm well please for you mate and all others who have graduated to . gonnabes

VTOL, what can I say! You are indeed a perfect example of "if at first you don't succeed try & try again!"

Well done mate! You really deserve it.

Good luck with the training and see you on the other side.

Well done VTOL, i look forward to seeing you on-line next year.

Like all the others have said - Well done lads!!! It's good to see some guys actually getting to where they want to be.

Hope to be sat up there with you sometime!!

Best of Luck for now and the future
