These threads get started by people looking for advice on career moves and you’re just filling it with guff. No Jet2 pilot is going to be doing 360 hours a year once those expensive Airbuses make up the majority of the fleet.
What Guff? You have no idea how many hours a J2 Airbus pilot has flown this year or will fly in the years ahead, they were sitting around for months flying less than me at the start of the year. You also have nò idea about the level of recruitment required to fill all of these expensive new aircraft over the next decade and the Airbus will not make up the majority of the fleet probably for at least that decade, one thing I can confidently say is that an Airbus DEC non line trainer will have a cushy number over the next 5 years and will not fly more than 700 hrs a year, the rostering is too inefficient for that to happen.
Also why do you care if I have plans for something new? You know nothing about my life or where I am in it. My opinion is still more valid than you who has offered nothing but wierd anti J2 attacks
