As this thread is supposed to be about Jet2 recruitment let’s be honest, as a J2 captain on the 737 if you work 4 days a week they will invariably be Friday to Monday, although it’s possible to get most weekends off in the winter by creative use of requested days off and breaking your leave up. And if you’re a bog standard line captain after the latest pay rise you’ll earn at best £130k gross and probably a bit less, you’ll need to be a fairly senior trainer to be on £160k…. That’s what it is, if it means you can live in Newcastle or Leeds and have a cheaper house that’s fine, but don’t pretend it’s something it isn’t. I’m happy to earn less than some other companies because I don’t want to do four sector days with 35 minute turn arounds. But if you work less you earn a bit less, that’s how the world usually works.
