Wizzair are trying to retain existing uk pilots by paying more than competitors- some skippers there over £200k (but they’re doing 900hrs for it). They’re also doing fixed pattern rosters now, which is one fairly large reason why jet2 will struggle to get airbus pilots.

Those of us working backsides off in the summer appreciate a block of 4 days off, particularly with family. Jet2’s working all summer random roster puts most off. That’s just the general vibe I get around the network, not just me! 5/2 or 6/3 in the summer, regardless of odd rest days in an amongst that, just doesn’t sit well, particularly if you’ve got kids.
