What reason would the company have for offering a full time contract to guys on the outside when they have a known quantity, ie the guys who have toiled this summer on the 70% contract and want to be made full time already in the company, current on type, familiar with Jet2 SOP's and with a training record within the company?
Well the only thing I can think of is cash! They need more crews for next year so have to start training within the next few months to have crews ready for next years summer schedule, unlike this years total fiasco!!
So why would the company keep the guys on over the winter and pay them when they don't have to!
Back to my original question what contract are the new joiners going to be offered. They will be training over the winter, therefore will not be on a 70% contract, only two options I can see, a full-time contract or a 70% contract starting the following Nov!
Again only my wild speculative opinion....
