On the 70% deal Captain's take home around £2800/month & F/O's £1800/month during the Winter & about £350-£450/month more during the Summer. But I would also like to point out a couple of other relevant points to would be applicants that they should consider.
1) Don't rule out a 'Pay to Fly' scheme similar to EZY & a few others.
2) If your application is successful, DON'T post anything on Facebook or other Social Networking sites if you think the offer is 'crap' as you may get a 'Sorry, we don't want you. Here's a cheque in lieu of notice' letter as one poor sod found out earlier this year.
3) The 70% deal is for 7 months service during the peak season (April-Oct) with 5 months off during the lull (Nov-March) thereby shafting your chances of getting contract work as usual minimum terms are 6 month requirements.
4) You'll be flying antiquated B737-300's or B757's, maybe you should consider a more modern type, B737NG or Airbus.
5) Don't expect to make a career from the company if you're coming as an F/O. The newly elected, 'Ferrari driving' Head of the Crew Council who is responsible for negotiating Pay & other terms & conditions holds F/O's in such low regard, he said to a new F/O & Trainer on an aircraft handover, F/O's should be paid less as they are a transitory species!!!!
If you are one of the fortunate ones to receive an 'allowance from Mummy & Daddy' or have no Training debts to repay or have no mortgage & family to support then consider Jet2. However if you are one of the rest, look elsewhere. It's a great working atmosphere with excellent Trainers & fantastic Op's, Crewers, Rosterers & Engineers but that don't pay the bills.
Good luck whatever & wherever you choose.
