Oh Oh. Ryanair targetting Southend Airport with some FlyBE overlap e.g. Dublin and Milan with perhaps more to come.
Not the end of the world but they are going to be eating some of FlyBE's dinner.

Aiminghigh123 just enlighten me if you will, what’s that incident got to do with Terms & Endearment? Particularly as there’s already a thread running in Rumours & News on the subject.

3legs -do you mean the sim assessment is on the Ejet ? Is Southampton base a possibility or still a waiting list for existing guys ?

Yep the sim assessment is on the Ejet, a bit of YouTube and a computer flight sim will prepare you.
There so much movement that any base is a possibility.

Example - high and fast on approach. Execute a good side slip and they’ll pretty much sign you up there and then. Apparently the want to move away from magenta worship.

What a load of cr@p! Do that and they’ll show you the door.

I think (I hope !!) It was a joke ... Manual skill and food CRM, I agree ... Side slip ... Just bull**** !

The nature of turboprop flying is that for most people it is a short-term necessity rather than a career choice. Do your time, get a few command hours and then get an A320 or B737 on your licence. Just do not hang about at FlyBe too long.

Any chance of an Exeter base for a new entry? I know this has been asked before but wondered whether the numbers leaving has affected the chances?
