Jet2 are in good financial health. The share price of dart group has being creeping upward for some time now.
The grubby "pay £25 grand for a 70% underpaid job" is just another mechanism to maximise profits and increase shareholder value., at the expense of long term business planning.
Airlines of Jet 2's size may well struggle to survive a hull loss. A good mix of experienced, loyal crew helps to keep the whole operation safe. High crew turnover, with rapid expansion, makes the whole thing creak at the seams.
When the opening question in an interview to time served experienced pilots is "are you willing to give us £25 grand" with a no answer ending the interview, it speaks volumes about managements priorities.
This whole recruitment drive has been a shambles.
To those who have joined good luck, serve your time then move on quickly.
