Take this recruitment for what it is, a potential job. Enjoy the process and see what it turns up for you. We're a happy bunch when not messed about by management, the crews at all the bases are great. There's the odd company Nob who kisses butt but we all know who they are and laugh at them with little mercy!
My only advise is:-
Apply, be assessed, be interviewed and do the sim but DO NOT sign up for anything contractual rashly, see which of the other better paid, equipped operators are going to recruit and then apply to them as the market is going to be bouyant and you may get the job you really want, as a poster has already stated 'many are heading east'!!!.
I'm of the opinion that Jet2 are either doing a tree shake to see who on the market or have plans for expansion and are keen to sign up by contract the best of whats out there at a cheap rate on a crap contract.
That of course unless your keen to live at Manchester or Leeds!!!
