It's all very well this part-time, seasonal working but it won't be sustainable in the long-term.

There has been a massive influx of young, single, 'cadets' in recent years with the relatively enomous upturn in the low-cost airline sector and consequential demand for pilots.

Once these young, bright-eyed pilots gain a few years and settle down with a wife and family, the prospect of part-time, seasonal working which seems a 'whiz' today, might not be quite so attractive when the realities of life finally hit them squarely in the face in future years.

Whether Jet2 will suffer the same demographic 'time-bomb' that may face the likes of Ryanair only time will tell.
