the company has more money in the pot than u would believe, you only need to look at their P&L accounts , balance sheets and dividend/quarterly results to see this. It is an insult with the way they are treating so called 'valued' members of their crew.
Just look at their expansion plans 100 crews by next year, 10 airframes, you really think this is coming from a company that has little in the pot.
The amount of money paid to the ex 300 boys giving them Stn bases or to a training capt who has retained Boh as a base, an absolute insult to us all.
They even had the audacity to try and charge for jet2 lanyards, 2 quid a pop... what sort of company does this!
I want to be able to say i work for jet2 amongst other colleages in other airlines and feel proud, i couldn't feel any more embarrassed.
Lets just see what happens when they try and get crews for these 10 new a/c. It will be the same old story, f/o's not a problem. Capts will be promoted with the usual 2500 hrs regardless of quality (and there are now hardly any f/o's who fit the hour requirement, all already been promoted), they are even talking about new promotions with a change of type at the same time...........
The classic case of doing whatever they can 'get away with'. Instead of trying to attract quality with decent t&c's
And as for the a/c they will be knackered old heaps as usual, a guaranteed accident waiting to happen
