I must admit Jet2 were a company I liked the idea of working for. This so called recruitment exercise has changed my view on that now. Their whole recruitment process just seems to be a poorly planned attempt to see what they can get away with. Thats not the way to build a happy, loyal workforce.
The only good thing I see about it is it will take a load of people out there willing to throw £1000's at getting what is at the end of the day a job, out of the market. This may lead to better offers from the other airlines when they start recruiting. Im assuming that is part of their plan. Get the people with deep pockets whilst they can.
Respect to all of those who turned them down, other airlines will be watching and hopefully taking note.
