It seems Jet2 is all year round recruitment vs EasyJet very rarely hire NTR DEC ?
The answer is a rather boring "it depends". I went one direction for my own lifestyle/career goals/location. Both have their advantages. I'd say in Jet2 you'll probably work a little less, especially in winter, but in easyJet there are good part time options and of course a fixed pattern roster. easyJet's staff travel and holiday credit are better than the equivalent offerings from Jet2, yet in Jet2 you can take a month or two off in the winter if you so wish. At Jet2 you need to think of it as a mid haul airline, especially on the Airbus. A lot of duties check in at 1600 and check out at 0400, yet in a working block you will probably go in to the airport maybe 2/3 times whereas with easyJet you'll be doing 5 full days in a row. Again, what works for some people won't work for others. If you are a younger FO hungry for hours and staff travel perks then easyJet would probably suit you more. If you're a looking for a secure base near to "home" and quiet winters then Jet2 is perhaps better.
One thing to note is easyJet have very high union representation which is almost non existent in Jet2.
