Hello All,
I was wondering whether anyone who applied for the most recent Jet2 Pilot Apprentice scheme have had a similar experience to me:
On 29th March I received an email from Jet2 pilot recruitment:
"Thank you for your interest in working for Jet2.com and your application for the Pilot Apprentice position. I am writing to provide you with an update on your application as well as progress against our current requirements.
We have been fortunate to receive a significant level of interest in these positions and therefore the level of competition has been very high. As a result, we have now fulfilled our requirement for our July intake. However, your skills and the level of experience you have are of interest to us and we would like to consider your application for our next intake of Pilot Apprentices in October.
In the meantime, we would greatly appreciate it if you could confirm by return email if you are no longer available, otherwise we will assume you are happy to continue with your application."
While I was disappointed not to be selected I was pleased that the application was interesting to them and would remain open for the next entry later this year. I logged into my candidate account on the Jet2 careers website and noted that the application status was ‘Under Review’ indicating that the application was still live.
A few days later I received an email from AutomationManager:
"Many thanks for your interest in the position of Pilot Apprentice at Jet2.com and Jet2holidays.
We have reviewed your application and unfortunately, on this occasion, we will not be progressing your application further.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your interest in Jet2.com and Jet2holidays and invite you to look out for any other suitable vacancies on our careers website at
Jet2Careers. You can add ‘job alerts’ to your candidate profile so you will receive e-mail notifications as soon as suitable positions are advertised.
If you are interested in finding out more about working for Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, please visit

We wish you every success in the future"
I logged into my candidate account on the Jet2 careers website and the application status has changed to ‘Unsuccessful.’
The wording of the second email and the change in status of my application would indicate to me that the application has been terminated and will not be considered for the next intake which contradicts the original email.
So I am a bit confused as to whether or not my application is still open for the next intake or not, I have emailed Jet2 pilot recruitment but no reply yet.
Has anyone else had a similar pair of emails from their Jet2 apprentice application?
Many thanks in advance.
