well the company seems ok for a lot of people! obviously not those already driving a shiny jet and not wanting others to accept these poor T&C's for fear that it will further degrade their future deals!
but namely those still working for J2, surely if the company was that bad lots of people would be leaving! Or have the kahunas to say its bad and warn people not to join?
So maybe as it looks from outside, the company are just trying it on to save costs, as any company has the right to do (morally right or wrong!)
have they always charged for the TR in the past or bonded people?
the options for recruitment are the same across the board as you've all pointed out--the time for not paying for TR's was 10 years ago when it started! Now if you don't have the TR you cannot apply (BA and no doubt more to follow)
I wonder if it will ever change back to your good old days!
many have arrived here in the last decade and have known nothing different. to get on it looks like you'll have to buy a TR (or be a newbie, flybe, ezy ryr cityjet) and look to regain the money by being promoted in the shortest time possible!
regarding the 70% contract if it could work for you would you do it to move up the ladder a few rungs?
interested to see if any employees can help and give the thumbs up or down!
please be honest as many a pilot will be looking at your views good or bad!
I'm waiting for the slating! but probably won't rise to it!
