Allow me to tell you just how good & "industry norm" Jet2 actually are.
Line training captains who use assumed temp & derate during windshear conditions!
Aircraft being flown with so many defects that it is downright dangerous but commercial pressure seems to scare the skippers fartless so they'll take it!
Senior captains who take the opportunity to have a bloody good sleep during the entire cruise phase whether PF or PNF!
The above senior captain who is prepared to ground an aircraft because his cup holder is u/s, or at least he says he will. Imagine him explaining that one to our ayatollah!
Slapping £5,000 bonds onto crew who were already 737 or 757 rated & then not reducing the bond on a pro rata basis!
Attempting to charge existing company 737 drivers £20,000 for a 757 course!
Want to leave them, as you invariably will, then that's a four month notice period. Dare to not work this full period & you will be charged approximately £310 per day minus your annual salary divided by 365 to cover the cost of a contractor to replace you!
Call into crewing at the end of every duty day to see how they're going to muck up the rest of your roster. A late where you had an early? Why not? It's just your life outside of work!
An excellent crewing department who are so overworked because management will not release any funds for extra staff that they must be totally p***ed off. They are genuinely good people who are one of the very few +ve's in this airline.
Positioning cabin crew by train between MAN & LBA & expecting them to pay for their own ticktes up front!
A CEO who thinks absolutely nothing about interfering with a turnround & issuing B0110ckings especailly if his blessed APU is fired up on stand, & upsetting the entire crew. A crew, by the way who then had to operate a flight back to the UK in an upset state! Flight safety? Fit to fly?
Just a random list & there are more. They have some really good people working for them but the best will leave if this rotten management doesn't start to treat it's staff with just a tad of human respect.
