Few weekends off. Reportly rather uncooperative CC and GC too; FD line and training slighty old school but v good. Did at least include health cover. Went elsewhere though.
I’ve been in jet2 for a year and a half so far and my experience does not match this at all. LHS, regional base and very happy.
perfectly decent hotels although haven’t needed them much, winter rosters are a dream come true and even when on standby you have 2hrs to report! Most weekends at least partly off through RDOs. Cabin and ground crew are fantastic.
