Yes, the new advert appeared on 5 April 2011 in Flight Global, which is copied below. Looks as if they are short of experienced pilots.
The indication that they need experienced pilots is NEW element in the advert and is that JET2 now accept DIRECT ENTRY SENIOR FIRST OFFICERS. Considering that JET2 has always maintained that promotion to Senior First Officer could only take place after two years employment in the company, it would be interesting to know what experience they would require to accept an applicant as a Senior First Officer......and would he get the higher salary from commencement of employment!!
Perhaps too, there may be JET2 First Officers who may not have completed their 2 year employment period with JET2 but could now be promoted if they meet the new entrant qualifications for SFO.....
...and get the higher salary.....
There again maybe it was a simple error in the advert and there is no desperate need to offer experienced SFOs a better salary to entice them to work for JET2.
