You also might want want to consider that anyone joining as an Airbus non-trainer skipper will not do anywhere near the average Jet2 hours for a couple of summers, as most of the sectors are training to put guys in place ready for the ramp up in deliveries in winter 25/26.
This is great if you want an easy roster, but not great if you value sector pay over lifestyle. Since you stated money was the bigger factor you may be better joining a high-hours loco such as EZY or RYR.
