What happens to the MPL cadets?

What do you mean?

With FlyBe being on sale, the consequences for current MPL cadets

There is no consequence. Life carries on as normal until told otherwise.

No, this is from the past. However, the MPL training is fully geared towards the company and a specific acft. So if you're in the middle of your MPL and the airline goes belly up, I wonder what situation you'll get into.

possibly, but then you did ask what the consequences are for current MPL students with Flybe up for sale, the answer is there are no consequences. Should Flybe go under (which imho is far off yet ) then that's a whole different question. I have a feeling we've dumped some MPLS in the past and I vaguely remember, but don't quote me, that there was a deal done with another operator to enable them to finish.

When Monarch had problems 3 years ago, before getting bust, they refuse to recruit their own, half trained, MPL.
​​​​​​Training on A320, fortunately for them EZY recruited most of them.

I don't know for Flybe, but if they do the MPL on dash Q400, it will be really hard to find someone to recruit them.

On what grounds do you base that on?

What do you mean?

Your last paragraph.

I think he means - if there is no other airline that flies the Q400 then who will they complete their MPL with.? Not sure it would be that difficult for another airline to do a short conversion course and take the crew.

Reversethurstset - are you at flybe? what is your take on what will happen?

It's happened before and the cadets got placed with other airlines (don't quote me but I think it was easy).

I am at Flybe but I am in my notice period, I've got nothing to gain from dressing it up but my take on it is the biggest risk at the moment is the negative press and crew levels for next summer. Flybe do have a good business, revenue is stronger than ever however the cost base is way too high so something has to give and quite quickly. I think either Flybe or a new owner will be acting reasonably swiftly to strip out loss making routes and possibly bases. We're not that far away from handing back some more embraers which will save millions per year. I think they'll do a few other things too that I'll keep to myself. I know the rough figure that the CAA will pull the plug and all I'll say is we are nowhere near that yet. I think Flybe will be ok but I don't think they'll be recognisable as they are today. Just remember this is only my personal opinion and has no bearing on any strategies or anything that's coming from within.

No tubby I'm talking about Q400 MPL students ending up elsewhere.
