Flybe - What are they like to work for?

[Currymonster]

As a rough guestimate, what can one expect to get net including flight pay per month as a joiner (low hours FO).

Would Flybe consider at least interviewing a 46 year old currently serving as non-pilot aircrew in the RAF?

[Please, this is not a case of "am I too old" because I know that this criteria varies from company to company: I have already "sourced" some operators who are quite happy with older applicants].

Anyway...

JAR CPL/IR (passed the UK ATPLs /Perf A & E in '99) and now instruct.

About 650 hours now.

What is a new FOs wage?

Dont see why not. Some of the new F/O`s are no spring chickens. You can only try mate.
I think new starter Q400 is about 24000, first year but goes up quite a bit 2nd year.

Covec, I think they'll like you. Particularly if you get the right interviewer as one of their management pilots left the RAF in a very similar position to you a few years ago and is well thought of.
Good luck.

Thank you for the feedback, mad bob & Loopdeloop.

Kind regards
