I started filling out the application form a few months back, but didn't submit it. I felt the conditions were even worse than Jet2, and we're bad. The life-style would suck, and the one destination would get pretty boring after a couple of months. I guess the crew will stay in some crummy three-star hotel, and the per diem would mean a poor existence for an f/o. The only benefit I saw would be getting placed into mainline at some point in the future, but I reckon those are pretty long odds. There are a number of people from Jet2 in the hold pool, I guess because we have 757s and a small number have already left to join.

I saw the cadet option, which is presumably set-up for CTC to throw cadets at in the future, further devaluing the profession.
