I can't find anyone paying less, for jet rated pilots, than Jet2 in the UK. I tried but it was impossible. I whole heartedly agree with the sentiments of NSF, & Tonker epitomises why Jet2 continue to get away with it: they exploit a pilot pool of good people who have low commercial time & therefore find it difficult to get a start anywhere else. Their negotiations for better sector pay etc. is being hammered, IMHO, because of it.
Congratulations on being a new Daddy, Tonker, hope Mum & baby are well.
