Flybe Airline Pilot Careers: Presentation Flight Oxford (OAA)

[adamski895RS]

"Does it have a horn?" Oh god.

[Crosserz1]

i live in the isle of man !

[adamk287]

Does it have a horn? (blondie in british ascent)

oh dear....

[dman15333]

Does it have a horn?

WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE ON ABOUT

[scotplane]

@dman15333 She's the one who got hired XD

[22222rons]

did blondie wrote comments about herself, why would they hire her? I would not

[magorgabor]

"does it have horn?" gj oxford... crap like EPST and other gay flight schools... :P

[Mazza4Azza]

@magorgabor

OAA is the best flight school

[magorgabor]

@Mazza4Azza are you sure? what makes it the best? the costs? the shiny uniforms? or their marketing? oh, no, maybe the results right? and what we call "results" is basically the fact how many ppl graduate form that school and start working as an airline pilot right? Hmm... I don't think aviation or being a pilot is about these stuff... oh, and don't forget that fact that ERAU used to train the british fighter pilots.. so why the hell the best school is in england.. makes no sense man.

[Mazza4Azza]

@magorgabor

Because of the level of training you get; but also the way they look after you when you finish and help you find a job. No other school will do this and i have a lot of friends that have been to (cabair, ctc, fte) who all say this is the case. In this competitive career (which is what it is) most airliners are glad to see OAA on the application forms. They wouldn't want to look at who trained the British fighter pilots, it's a commercial industry. Not a military industry.

[magorgabor]

@Mazza4Azza man, trust me, I also know what I am talking about. Of corse, it is also my mistake to argue here on YouTube. That is my stupidity. My whole family ii living for aviation, and my father came from a whole other "world" whereas pilots were selected after their abilities not after their credit card. I have also took out a huge loan, put in on our only house and took the risk. However, no matter what fancy airlines wants to see on the applications, if you crash the plane. Guess we agree.

[magorgabor]

@Mazza4Azza Level of training? You know in aviation theory is all the same. Your experience and how you behave up there what matters. You can get the best instructors, and the best theory training; however, if you shit your pants and pull the yawk during a spin, you busted. OAA is just a fancy school for rich british boys and girls. Of corse, if you take it seriously you can learn how to fly even there, but equally as at other places. So, yup. Still hate OAA, and still wish that bitch got fired!

[Mazza4Azza]

@magorgabor

I say it's best to stick to our opinions. Good luck in your future sir!

[magorgabor]

@Mazza4Azza good luck for you as well! just keep in mind: aviation is about the pilots, not about the airline, nor the schools and other dumb-ass HR people. its about the "aviators" :)

[Mazza4Azza]

@magorgabor

Good point

[magorgabor]

@Mazza4Azza in addition, flying with dynamic aerodynamic rules are invented in the U.S. and my friend, over there a totally poor guy could be a pilot as well, not just rich bastards like this retard... open your eyes man.

[Mazza4Azza]

@magorgabor

Let's not be prejudicial here. Just because this guy is confident in taking out a bank loan of £70,000 and wanting all the ratings to be a FO, that does not make him a retard. It's what he wants so what has it got to do with you? Finance plays a massive part in the aviation industry; not many people make it - only the ones who are financially strong.

[gerDownhiller]

ab initio training ?! 

[mwmoregon003]

too funny, i was thinking the exact same thing!  probably as smart as she is gorgeous.

[iwatchfunny]

yes, oxford airport is amazing... till there planes crash into your back garden... -_-"

[mustafa13113]

If you have no flying experience is there a course which lead you to an ATPL?

[RyanDotTv]

Hey, How much is it for the training?

Thanks

[RexBanner1980]

I remember watching this video a couple of times before I started my course at Oxford in September 2008 thinking there was no chance for me with the Global Financial Crisis kicking off. Two years later I am now a Flybe FO on the Dash 8 myself. Good times :)

[FlyHighRC386]

if i get a cpl on a single engined aircraft pa28 for example, would i still be eligible for a flybe pilot. Would they teach me how to lfy their aircraft or would i have to go about it in my own way?. Thanks

[tombarker94]

@FlyHighRC386 you would have to get a multi engine rating and a instrument rating (along with a few more things) to gain a frozen atpl then you can apply to flybe, then if you get a job you will do a type rating on their dash 8s thats if you can afford the first part.

[RexBanner1980]

@FlyHighRC386 Hey mate no you would need the very minimum of a current Multi-Engine Instrument Rating with a valid MCC course certificate to be able to get a job with Flybe as a pilot. Obviously with the CPL of course. I would reccommend Oxford as a school however be aware that the price advertised is the very minimum you will pay as it does not include resits, extra flights etc. I can count on under half the fingers of one hand the people on our course who did not fail something along the way.

[elMartinlapin]

the blonde are very sexy ;p

[westoaux]

all pilots i see are always old.. im only 17 and i wanna become a pilot. please do not tell me that it will take me 20-30 years to become one?

[greengoblin200]

i thought pilots earned more than that sort of money... :L

[tombarker94]

not all about the money

[piperseminole100]

im 13 and i want to be an airline pilot and i just cant wait to fly flying is the best

[sheetbug]

I heard the training was quite average acutally.

[tombarker94]

visted the cockpit of a flybe dash 8 the other day and the fo let me sit in the right hand seat for a couple of minutes while i had a quick chat and i have got my work experience with them in birmingham at the end of june SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

[jacobs088]

Im just wondering, is travel and tourism BTEC good for aviation industry ?

[BDFPA]

@jacobs088 No, Maths and Physics A-Levels and then if you choose to, a degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Well, thats the path i'm taking anyway. After the degree i will then attend OAA.

[Captainbritishair]

@jacobs088 That would be great help, but it is not necessary.

[brandtaylor93]

okay I'm 17, I'm flying on a flight and do you think I'm aloud in the cockpit for a little Q and A with the pilot, on becoming a pilot. or is that strictly not aloud now from things like 9/11

[AP264]

Yes you can but only on the ground after the flight has landed. ask a flight attendant when u get on if thats ok to see them before you get off.

[tcx23f]

as AP264 has said after the flight is most likely however, it normally depends on how busy they pilots are. With airlines wanting fast turnarounds now such things are not as common but their is no harm in asking :)

[ThomsonAirwaysFs]

Doing my work experince with FLYBE at Birmmingham!!!!! CANNOT WAIT!!!!!

[wot4edge540]

the blonde one should get hired

[AP264]

@wot4edge540 she did! now flybe F.O.

[wot4edge540]

ohh nice bet there are some hard objects at the flight deck!

[JustAnOrdinarySimmer]

@AP264 Cool! where is she based? I'm going to fly FlyBe from now on :D

[CarterBoyy227]

Cool and informative vid. The inside of the plane looked more spacious than I thought.

[ksa5223]

I hope the industry picks up soon, im in GA flying single engine aircraft really want to get in turbo props! looks like so much fun

[EpicGamer249]

i loged my first hour in the cessna152

[EuropaBloke]

Damn! She looks cute!

[spoopers143]

i am 13 and have already started flying and have 12 hours on a cessna 150 i hope to fly for emirates when i am older

[tombarker94]

im having flying lesson i thought u couldnt log hours until u r 14

[spoopers143]

mmmm i am not sure but it might be different in other countries

[davieclark]

If you want to be a pilot, especially learning at Oxford then start saving....yesterday! It's bloody expensive.

[tombarker94]

im 14 and cant wait 2 b a pilot

do flybe pilots get good money?

[dooglemcdermit]

he said on the video...

starting on Q400 about £23k

[RSVids2k8]

23k right up to 65k when you're a PIC.

[tomski3]

Dash 8 captains start at £53,000pa as I recently found out on their site when I consulted the payscale. Happy however, the starting salary for a first officer is now £25,000

[Godzilla1704]

man. i'm 13 got to wait till i'm 18. 5 years left man i hope i can do it

[domfly747]

i would like to become a pilot when i'm older

[AP264]

good luck and work hard at school!

[hhhvvim]

Don't do it. Oil will soon run out and you will be out of a job!

[AP264]

Atleast 30yrs of oil left! Hurry up and get into training so you can have a full career before they get rid of pilots and planes is what I say!!

[tonymullaney]

You've clearly never heard of biolfuel..

[holylemonimthat]

@AP264

Planes will never disappear, underground petrol reserves are found in huge quantities regularly!

No one wants to take a boat for a week or more to do UK - Australia when you can go in 1 Day by plane!!!!!!

[Godzilla1704]

i will do it it's my one and only dream

[matz951]

Are you serious, don't you know bio-fuels are?

[frequentairbusflyer8]

You don't know shit obviously, we have plenty of oil left, and when we do run out, which is a long time from now, we will have had created hundreds of biofuels to rely on.

[bertielol2010]

@hhhvvim They''ll find a new thing to run aeroplanes on before oil runs out

[ttww74]

only a woman would ask "does it have a horn".....tutt tutt lol

[tombarker94]

dash 8 nice plane

they must b nice 2 fly as well

[AP264]

Oxford (OAA) are about to launch a sponsored flybe mulit pilots licence course (MPL) - check out their website!

[windowspczone]

Those seats look rather narrow

[jjwilled]

Thank you, is this direct through Flybe or through another training company such as CTC aviation?

[AP264]

All training is outsourced from flybe to a FTO. Except for the TR which is in house flybe.

[jjwilled]

"*NEWS* Flybe to launch MPL (multi pilots licence) with cadets in feb 2009." Is this happening?? Flybe have given no information about it...

[AP264]

Yes it was mentioned in flight international. I think you have to go onto the Flight Training Europe Jerez website to apply/find out details.good luck

[AP264]

Just to update, both of the students who are seen on the flight deck at the start of the video (both from AP264), got jobs with flybe a few months later. Both have been working for flybe as First Officers for about a year now and are loving every minute of it!

[YYZZZYYY]

0:37- SEXY !

[tomtom5418]

mmmmhmmm..... :)

[AP264]

*NEWS* Flybe to launch MPL (multi pilots licence) with cadets in feb 2009.

[EinkOLED]

Easyjet and other larger airlines are no longer recruiting cadets through the sponsorship scheme at the moment. They're looking for qualified type rating pilots or those with a ATPL wishing for type rating training.

I think this is a good idea, many pilots self finance their training and those are the ones in need of priority employment.

[jamiestrat]

Seems like a few of those potential candidates have Shiny Jet Syndrome

[jamesnewnham]

now i hate to be podantic or anal but it is actually a turboprop. so you would have to say.... 'Seems like a few of those potential candidates have Shiny Turboprop syndrome'

[AP264]

You are right. There is nothing wrong with having that perception if thats what student pilots want to aim for. But if you pass off the opportunity for a job at flybe on a turboprop to wait and see if you can get a jet job first, then I would a say that would be rather stupid! Sadly some students have done this in the past and needless to say are still looking for jobs!!

[jamiestrat]

Yeah, I know it's a turboprop. It's just when the candidate asks the captain if he is 'eventually wanting to get onto the Embraer fleet' as if the Dash isn't good enough ;)

[airindiana]

I fly for those guys and the old dash sounded like it was going around at the beginning of the vid. Fun and games :-)

[RexBanner1980]

Where is the pilot from? I dont think he mentioned it..

[jamesakadoug]

isle of man

[Boeing757basher07]

Brilliant Stuff

Im hoping to join oxford aviation in the near future. Then after hopefully get a IR on the 737-300/400/500 or A32X Series. then maybe look at employment with BMI Baby or BA.

Nice post

Bri

[tommyD1985]

Great video, very interesting...Thanks very much for posting!

Im off for a look around at the school on the 8th Dec for one of their saturday seminars, hoping to go there after my degree in around july or august time (fingers crossed). Got a mate currently there at the moment 'Pete Sharp', don't know whether he is on your course class but he seems to think its a decent place.

Thanks again,

Tom.

[ThepowerofGE90]

Same, im hopeing to join them next year once ive completed my A levels. Im hopeing to be sponsored by flybe, although the chances are sommet like 10 people out of 2000 lol.
