Hi,

Anyone recently been to a Jet2 interview? Would appreciate some feedback on the tye of questions asked...

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

As you have posted in the Wannabes section, I assume you have CPL/IR and no type rating? Have you been called in for interview?

Hello,

Congratulations on getting an interview! Are low houred CPL ME/IR candidates even considered at Jet2? I have a B737 MCC. Don't know if this makes any difference..

Thanks

they want type rated guys only,im type rated but zero line hours I only have 1 hour on type due to base training and I got rejected

they want type rated guys only
Not true. I think they will also consider type rated females.

I have a B737 MCC

Congratulations, but I didn't realise there was such a thing. When did the MCC become type specific?:=

.............I wonder how long Mr P would last working in the crewing department? I think a couple of years there might make they world of difference.

:ugh:

So far 34 posts on this thread and only 3 are relevant to the topic started by Cabair351.

If the remainder of the members wish to keep their rants going on the subject of who should be flying what and when and how it affects the airline industry, then try using one of the other threads readily available.
Maybe a little moderation is called for here?

As for the Jet2 interview, I would be happy to share what knowledge I have as I am a 73 pilot for them and may be able to help a little. So if Cabair 351 or anyone else with a valid reason for using this thread would like to PM me, please feel free.

Dont Judge A Book By It's Cover

Well this thread allows us to go further and make judgements based on your words and actions also - which is generally how people are judged.

Guys,

Whilst I agree Punk666 hasn't exactly endeared himself to anyone he is still only 19 years old. Lets cut a little slack shall we...

I thought this thread was supposed to be about Jet2?

You lot are sad.

does any one no how to string a sentance to gether these days and how to write proper and punctuate


Let's be fair ... he's not the only one - even in this thread. This board is overrun by people whose command of the lingo is downright scary. A lot of them are pretending to be real airline pilots. Even more scary is the possibility that some of them might actually be airline pilots, and their grasp of mathematics could be just as poor.

Wow, why is there so much anger on this forum? this thread started with a person asking for help on the Jet2 interview, and descended into a 19year old pilot bashing (I' was 19 when i got my fATPL too) its a shame that more energy can't be used in helping each other along.

Cabair351 i'll speak to a friend's brother who works at Jet2 at the moment and find out what they asked in his interview (it will be a few years outdated but it will still be relevant)

On the point of 19 year olds, it doesn't matter if you do your training at 30 or at 19, the examiners are the same, the test standards are the same. If i hold a series 1 pass CPL & IR, and you hold the same, we are equally qualified. There is a reason they allow you to fly public transport at the age of 18. If you are switched on enough to fly the aeroplane and pass the tests, then so be it.
It is an extremely demanding course and to be giving anyone stick for being 19 is an embarrasment to yourself. Ed Gardner started flying for Titan at the age of 20, Has he had problems managing the aeroplane? No. Will punk666? No, will I? No.
Age and Maturity are 2 different and often non related things. I know 30 year olds i wouldn't trust on a bicycle let alone an aeroplane.

Lets all play nice

Since when has line training & type rating ever been free?

You will have seen that I have deleted a number of posts because it degenerated into a slanging match.

The terms you agreed to when you all signed up for Pprune are clear - no personal attacks - and I will delete posts that do so.

Play the ball and not the player. To extend the analogy, if you continue to carry on slagging off folk then you will be 'Red carded'

RL,

Thanks for the post, just sent you a PM.

Thanks for the help.

So then.... Does anyone have any information? Pack to topic please.
What sim do they use for the simcheck - 737-300?
Is it a stage process? Like pass interview then you get to do the simcheck, or is it like Ryanair and all on the one day?
With regards to the interview, are the tech questions type specific towards the company fleet?

My Jet 2 interview as i remember it.
Day 1- Numerical testing, verbal reasoning and interview.
Numerical reasoning was fairly straight forward, and the verbal reasoning test as expected. If you goto SHLDirect (http://www.shldirect.com) it gives a good example of what they are looking for. I also bought Passing Psychometric Tests by Andrea Shavick ISBN1-85703-818-3. This definately helped.
The interview was a pilot manager and a memeber of HR. No real 'low-ballers'. No technical questions, but quite a few 'Tell us about a time when you have...' type of questions, and a few questions about how it would impact on your life and family having to move to Leeds, as would have been in my case.
Waited for a few weeks then before sim check. That was carried out at CTC in the 737. Paired up with other candidate. PF and then PM. Steep turns, climbs and descents. Vectors to manually flown ILS.
That was that. All in all not too bad!

Sounds reasonable enough. Thank's for the information avrodamo.
