FLYBE interview (DE Capt).
 

Would like to contact a current flybe Dash Captain based in Exeter to chat about ops, sop's, company policy etc.
I have an interview coming up soon.

thx

On a similar note, what is the bond for the E190.

Custard Guts,

Have they started hiring into the E195 (FO slots)?

E195 is available through internal promotion normally.

New intakes start on the Dash and a few contract guys on E145 to help closing down this fleet.

OK thanx for that.......can I hear from anyone on the Dash with flybe at the moment for a chat!!

Currently on the dhc8. Pm me with questions and i'll try and help.

Anyone had an interview lately, would like to hear what they asked on the tech side of things?

Looking for the same information. One chap I spoke with was asked a lot about turboprops inc prop theory, why TO and land with MAX on the condition lever, that sort of thing.

All the best

Just want to keep my thread alive.........has anyone been interveiwed recently?

Also would like to know what they do in the sim assessment?

Interview questions
 

Hi, we had flybe come in the other day and said there were 18 questions, and people will know these?

What's the latest with hiring at Flybe in this tough economy? Are specific bases adding pilots more than others? What's the likelihood of getting a Southampton basing? I have heard of direct entry Captains getting Jersey and Belfast basings off the bat - not sure if that is current information.

Lastly (and a little off topic), for those people who have transitioned to the E195, what are your impressions of the aircraft (pros/cons)?

If Belfast is an option then get in there and fill your boots. you'll love it.

Recruitment, if any, is to the hold pool.

I've been there for just over a month now and the latest info is to expect nothing before March / April next year.

Also, note that Flybe have introduced new currency requirements (essentially 10 hours in the three months prior to being taken on). This could be expensive if, like me, you are sitting on the 'rock and roll'.

Communication from Flybe has been very good and, thus far, I have been very impressed by the experience, certainly a lot better than BA in a lot of respects.

Hopefully, Flybe's plans will continue as anticiptated, in which case I look forward to joining them in the spring.

Belfast currently fully crewed for both fleets at the moment. Once the wet lease ends, there may be a couple of Dash command vacancies, but Dash is actually overcrewed there at present.
