I'm a Dash 8 driver just shy of 3000 hours so I wonder if they're serious.
They wouldn't waste their time telephone interviewing you if they weren't serious, they've got better things to do.
Got a telephone interview yesterday 1500z:
- Are u ready to sponsor your TR? No (and she told me "I understand your point")
- Are u ready to move to Scotland in short time? No
After these 2 questions the lady told me that "market management" requires TR to be self-sponsored.
Unfortunately TR self sponsorship is the way things are at the mo, until everyone says no it ain't gonna change
.
If the job that Jet2 have is in Scotland, and you aren't prepared to go where the job is then it's hardly surprising that you got a no.
Mintflavour, and floppy link, the recruitment is going in waves, low houred non type rated first due to time required to get through training and on-line, then it'll be experienced non type rated, then it'll be type rated. There'll be a variety of pilots recruited, not just those seen as a revenue stream, but with the volume of applicants it'll take a while to get through all the applicants, patience is a virtue, although it doesn't pay the bills.
