Hi flyhalf2

My exprience with with the jet2 selection was as follows:

Firstly a one hour talk about the company, which most of the info you are told you will have alread researched before hand. But this does mean that you are not asked much if anything about the company in your interview.

After the talk you do one of 2 things interview or tests.

Interview was very relaxed about 40 mins with either 2 or 3 people present. No tech questions, there were a few what would you do in different situations eg. if captain not following SOPs and such alike.

Then 2 tests one numerical, with calculator analysis of data using charts, graphs, tables. Think you got about 30 mins to do 40 questions. The verbal reasoning was 25 mins 42 questions, read the following passage then 3-4 statement below passage you would have to say if they were true, false or not enough info in text.

In the company talk you do get told about type training and how it all works if you do not already hold a 737 or 757 type rating.

Basically if you have no jet expreince then you have to pay £3000 for an advanced handling course before you can do your type rating. Your type rating then costs you £20000 737 or £17000 757 ( think 757 is cheaper as its only a 35 day course, the 737 is 55 days) Once you have shelled out for example £23000 and you have completed your type rating, you then become an employee of Jet2 and ontop of your salary you get paid £23000 back to you over 3 years, therefore you are in effect bonded to jet2 for 3 years.

Good luck.
