Knocked off the throne by Jet2, the sole charter airline still going, still making losses since pandemic (who isn't!), a large boom in hiring, especially lower hour pilots which on the face of it is seems good, but all seemingly on these full time yet part time contracts, which doesn't scream 'we can afford to hire full time crew'., something doesn't sit right with any of the options (if I were to have them). IMO the safest jobs are either BA, Ryanair or Jet2.
I feel like I've become a pessimist in looking for a reasons to doubt in every company, Dammit!!
no job is ever 100% safe. Jet2 certainly are not in that bracket, do not get distracted by the aggressive expansion and bright shiny adverts. You need to be clear what you want from a job for your home situation, forget the flying side of things. That will wear thin after 2 mins unless you are a keen bean. Furthermore it won’t matter unless you’re happy with what the airline gives you. Good luck.
