So how is life at good old flybe? You guys miss me? 
I well remember those two clowns on the Dash fleet who were playing silly buggers in the sim. Chopped a lot of people for purely personal reasons... completely unprofessional. Hope they haven't wormed their way back into training.
Anyway, never mind all that, how's life with you guys? Anyone flown the new jet yet?

Strange thing was that they were both pretty good F/O's, the power must have gone to their heads... or maybe that took lessons from that other tyrannical turboprop trainer, PE. In fact the turboprop fleet seems to have had more than it's fair share of muppets with "small man" syndrome.
One of the reasons I didn't want to go onto the Dash - at the time, the training department was a complete shambles. The Fleet Manager was a great guy though, and a very sad loss.

For AUG one initial course (Capt & FO) in SEA and one in ARN
In SEP don't have the big picture, but I'll be running one in ARN With more to follow as more TRI's are coming though the TRI sausage machine (and reducing the trainer shortage)

Full story
Apparently the idividual concerned was so poor on line training, unable to setup the nav, that he was returned for "remedial training" - but still not chopped! Are they THAT short of bums in seats?

OK so what has changed in terms of Ts and Cs with Flybe?
I hear the bond is now 13,500 GBP non -reducing for 3 years? Is this an industry first? A square bond?
What is the likelyhood of command if you join with over 1200 hrs MCC/turboprop and a command recommendation?

The PE we are talking about was the vertically challenged ex-Base Captain of Leeds.
It used to take two to three days to calm down new recruits when they got to line training, such was their simulator experience...

The vertically challenged TRE (not PE), did indeed fail folk for being one knot below V2. And if you went through the accel alt on the V1 cut scenario (400' at the time), he wanted you to go back down to 400' before you accelerated.
I've personally never had a problem with PE, though perhaps he is affected by the phases of the moon.
T'other one's still there, though a lot more relaxed now...and no, he still hasn't any jet time, though he must be mighty close by now.
RD, your coffee machine is still in EDI, though looked a bit sorry for itself, last time I saw it...and what you doing on here? Running out of money?

Ah, the old EDI coffee machine... I miss the the old girl! 
I still read here a bit, haven't posted for ages. Been too busy starting companies and doing other fun stuff... but I'm missing flying a bit, so currently looking for some contract work. Who knows, I might be back in Euroland for a while!

Re failing for 1 knot below V2 on the eng fail profile , you would need to get the definitive answer from a TRE but i believe it is a mandatory item , allowing the speed to decay below V2 is a real serious matter , especially an a swept wing aeroplane .
Have seen a couple of guys being asked to repeat the SE profile in my current mob (EZY) for doing the same thing . Both the TRE's were total gents , this item however was non negotiable .

I'll let you make up your own minds of the wisdom of that course of action.
