Ego contest. Good one.

No E195 on your list, ergo, irrelevant. It’s also from 2015/2017. The Embraer deal was done in 2004/5, ergo, irrelevant. Not much certainty there.

Thanks for playing.

Thanks for briging facts to the party, ego.

Btw E195 is a E190-200 where the E190 is a E190-100. But you knew that. Enjoy life at Jet2.

Of course. I guess you think you’ll pay the same. Why don’t you go and find some figures from 2004/5. You know, just coz you seem to be concerned about facts.

I do thanks. Half the hours for 150% of the money. Although I did my first 4 sector day for 5 years last month, that was a bit of a struggle but it was good to relive the old days.

How about you get out there and find them yourself, instead of mumbling empty sentences?

Back in 2004/2005 the 319 was in very high demand with easyjet's first mega order (100 firm). Even with the eJet being the new shinny kid on the regional block at that time, I very much doubt you could get 2 airbuses for the price of a 195.

If this is your claim, well, go and prove it then.

Ringy old chap I knew back then what they were, if I didn't then I wouldn’t be posting. I don’t need to go and find them again now nor do I need to prove what they were to you.

Don’t like it? Tough.

I wouldn’t use easyJet’s deal as a comparator . Stelios did a fantastic deal back then, no one else was buying aircraft.

There’s no way that an outfit the size of Flybe could or ever will be able to do deals at the rates that Easyjet can.

Easyjet fuel bill for one week in August is more than Flybe’s market Cap’
Different world.

Just unsubstanciated claims then, and rockbottom credibility.

When it comes to hot air, I'd rather go somewhere warm. :}

Nil, I'm not suggesting for one second that the two deals could/should be compared, for exactly the reasons you're quoting.

I'm just sayng that back in those days, an A319 rate would have been fairly high due its high demand on the market, hence suggesting one could have had 2 319s for a price of one eJet is a very audacious claim, especially without figures to support it.

There's a concensus that the eJet deal was bad and company fleet policy has confirmed this for a few years now, I'm just reacting to some cuckooland types of "facts".

Of course they’re unsubstantiated. The figures are from nearly 15 years ago. Do you think I wrote them down in my diary just in case you didn’t believe me years later?! However, that doesn’t change the facts, even if you don’t believe them.

Unless, of course, you did find the figures you want from 2004/5 to prove otherwise.

The next world crisis will tell us everything we need to know about Flybe at the moment.
Sadly, I don't think we're too far off the next "we're doomed" period"...

What are the chances of getting a Manchester base with Flybe and if at all possible how long would it typically take for a transfer of a new starter from any other base on the network?

Recently people have been getting MAN straight off the bat. Others have been getting it after 6 months or so

Heard they are currently hiring but I can't find any open position on their website. Any hiring process taking place or about to start?

Losing pilots at a very high rate currently and given the current market it’s not going to slow down any time soon, so I’d be shocked if there wasn’t very active recruitment and I believe also DEC on the cards as well. If it’s a first job then fine, but if not, try and speak to as many people as you can about what sort of lifestyle to expect here before you commit, as there may well be many better options out there.

Hi all,

Which bases are in need of pilots? Are all the new FOs going to Scotland / Northern Ireland?
Are the England bases in need?

Anyone know how to apply??

Thanks

Jamie

Currently recruiting, but as far as I'm aware it is not published on the website but via specific flightschool recommendations only. Around 10 people starting every month until at least July or September (possibly more after that, or recruiting for a holdpool.
