Flybe

[Wellington Bomber]

I wonder if he has seen the future ahead and thought get out while i CAN?

[spagiola]

Which two BAe 146s have been retained for the GCI ops?

[Loop... Hole]

I believe there are still 11 146s in the overall fleet out of which any four are operating.

[slapdash8]

G-JEBG (Mansion) and G-JEBF are sat on remote stands @ MAN not doing a huge amount at the moment, as far as i know, these are the only 2 146's flybe have in operation, the rest are in storage at EXT awaiting handback

I am going for an interview at waterford soon. I hold a ppl with around 100hrs and got about 130 hours which dn't count cause the conspiracy against aviationsaid they where not withh CAA aproved istructors they dont count. Anyway isthere any news on the base at Newcastle, as I live in Sunderland, and hate the mags football team but love there airport. Can anyone tel me any snippets? ie. what routes they will fly, Dash 8 or 195? All would be helpful.

[Rollerboy]

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

[Big Birdie]

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.

[Pizzaro]

Don't think they recruit direct onto jets have to go via the TP's.

You could have 3,500,000 hrs on an Airbus 380, but you will indeed only get a DEC on the Q400

Salary

The paypoint levels, 1,2,3 etc, are they based on years served, total hours or mixture of both?

[six-sixty]

Salary points based on whole years with the co only - hours etc not a factor.

[Maude Charlee]

Whole years served by seat to be completely pedantic. Back to year 0 with any move right to left.

[Big Birdie]

Ok then! Turbo props were always much more fun anyway! Do BE have a pilot base in ABZ or not? If yes - are they recruiting?

Thanks again.

[Big Birdie]

Thanks Wingo....will enquire. ABZ is a wonderful place to work and live...if you love the rain and the cold!

ATB to all you ppruners.

[FL370 Officeboy]

ABZ is an E195 base though so not available for new joiners initially.

[Serenity]

so how long until they start a SVG?????

[Richard Taylor]

I have nothing against Flybe whatsoever, but please chaps:

NO MORE STAVANGER - PLEEEAAASSSEEE !!!!

[africaflybynight]

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?
