On another note, the amusing part is I doubt anyone on here singing the praises of Jet2 has any idea of what they pay
They probably do as Jet 2 held a recruitment road-show in Hong Kong, successfully recruiting some pilots. However, it's not just about the pay. It's about the lifestyle and quality of life, something which is eroding rapidly here. One CX Captain recently left for a DEC position at Jet 2 and he's never been happier. What management have to ask is how the legacy carrier of choice got itself into a position that pilots are now happier working for a low cost airline.
