I am not sure but I didn't think Jet2 employed seasonal flight crew (flight deck or cabin). If they were seasonal then they would have been aware that they would finish at the end of the season (31st October usually) and would have been prepared. From what I hear, the news came as a big shock to them so I suspect they were permanent. As has been said before if things are so bright, why then are they "trimming" for want of a better word. I am hearing from around the place that Jet 2 have once again become one of the bookies favourites to pop their clogs next. The bookies seem to be able to see through the flim flam coming from Jet 2 even if others such as harrogate and lager lout cannot.
