A 757 on the way for next year. Lord knows where Philip dug this one up from but it's on it's way.
Hopefully this means something for 757 guys out there?

So 70% is 31,500 divided out over 12 months is 2625 per month gross but you sit on your ass for 5 months although you will get 2625 to do it, correct?
Champagne anyone...?
Only if your year is 15 months long, yes.
70% contract will work roughly 8.5 months with time off over the winter. I must admit I did think all contracts were 100% now with options being offered to take time off over the quieter winter months.

Ya disappointed it's back to the 70% thing again with jet2. Based my months on an earlier post stating the contract is April until October which as you said doesn't make sense as that's only 7 months as 70% of 12 is 8.4

Hi,
I was previously on a 70% contract with Jet2 and worked 1st Apr - 31st Oct i.e. 58% of the year for 70% of full time pay. Virtually all of us on 70% were offered full time contracts at the end of the first year.
Regards

Well, it's better to be working for a Brits who act like Stalin in the UK as opposed to working for Brits with pretensions to outdo Stalin and A Hitler in the UAE.
Once you get into Jet2 you'll find a really nice bunch.

Just wanted to know how rigid are they on the 300 hours in last 24 months, I still have a valid rating on the 73 with about 3.5k total on it (classis and NG mix), only I haven't flown it for about 2.5 years now as I've been on 'the bus'.
I realise they've swept up with the ex Baby drivers, can only think the rest are coming from Ryanair?

The engineers told us recently that we have a 747 freighter coming, to be based at MAN, supporting Fowler Welsh. How we laughed!

Have any PFOs been sent out yet? I've heard nothing from my application (applied on the day the advert went up), I'd like to dare to dream no news might be good news but it's probably foolish to do so!

Last I heard you oly get 50% (of 70%) pay until you complete final line check that took a friend of mine from march through to end of August. Also no crew food and only £2 an hour FTP. You pay £18000 up front for rating and are bonded for another £8000 for line training.
This is all last years info so do stand to be corrected.
That said there is nothing else around so read the thread along side this .... "so you wanted to be a pilot".

You did get one thing right though. There is no free crew food. You can however buy discounted food off the trolley or, better still, bring some fruit with you. Chances are you won't die of starvation between Leeds & Barcelona. If, however, you do then rest assured there is something in one of the books on how the rest of us deal with your scrawny corpse in flight.
Jet2 is a good, friendly company that is going places. It's also a nice place to work. The pay is pretty good and the contract is fair. I wish those applying the very best of luck. I would say, however, that for those applying, a bit of common sense, initiative and application will pay far more dividends than asking bone questions of the Pprune Illuminati....
