Well acepilotm you are not going to like it... One Dash to be based in NCL I believe the reg G-KKEV (magpie fans only then). For routes go to flybe.com and have a look it's a good website tells you all you need to know. As for worrying about NCL and Flybe in a few years time... A lot can happen in a few years.
For interview answers aswell as flybe site check out bombardier site and wikkipedia. All you need to know.
Good Luck

NCL - I believe that there will be more than 1 plane based there in the not too distant future. Up until June, I know of at least 6 F/Os who are going there - including myself.
Routes are basically going to be Gatwick, Cardiff and Aberdeen with an occasional Limoges thrown in for a bit of variety.
As for expansion plans, Mike Rutter was quoted as saying that there are plans to launch services to Scandanavia and Germany, so watch this space.
In the meantime though, from what I've heard, NCL is pretty full.

acepilotmurdoch - you need to check your posts, I have never seen such bad spelling and grammar in my life.
You should know that high standards and attention to detail are essential pilot skills

I see with interest that ABZ is listed as a base for the 195. Does anyone know if they are recruiting for this? Poss Direct command? Lots of big jet time under my belt but not enough time at home!
Thanks in advance.

I currently fly a 1900 on an ICAO licence (by the end of the year SA ATP 2000+ hrs total and 500+ on the 1900 in two crew environment). Would there be any chance of getting an interview with Flybe if I had the medical and 14 subjects passed, with a view to using the Q400 type rating to do the required flight test to gain the full licence?
