Jet2 pay their Captains slightly over £106K pa (basic) after the recent pay raise. There’s also sector pay based on sector length (in nm) where sectors are defined as short, medium or long. Rates have appeared on the likes of ppjn- these have all been very recently increased by 30%. Duty pay is £1.90 per hour. Package includes company pension (10% of gross basic for Captains paid by company), pilot income protection, death in service benefit, private medical cover etc. A profit share scheme will be launched next year.
Unless you’re on the 757, crew don’t fly 450 to 500 hours a year! Winters are quiet and you’re home pretty much every night (bar sims, the very odd charter or the occasional away from base duty). Despite its massive growth it still remains a pretty friendly outfit.
Not CX money (never will be) however CX doesn’t sound all that attractive these days and neither does the prospect of attempting to live in Hong Kong. No offence intended.
