Binsleepin, welcome aboard! May i ask which fleet you are going to join?
I have read the comments on here with interest, sure in an ideal world things would be better, easyjet wouldnt be promoting pay to fly, Thomas cook wouldnt be getting cadets to pay for a rating work the summer then no guarantee of future employment, jet 2 wouldnt be asking for you to pay for a type rating and work initially on a 70% contact. The fact is that this industry is cyclic and things will change, as they do all the airlines will have to up the anti in order to attract / keep pilots.
As others have said Jet2 is a friendly pleasant place to work, and as it grows I hope it will mature into a company of choice. Sure there are growing pains at the moment but the future has the potential to be bright.
