It was for the 757.
Jet 2 is a good company to work for, particularly in these hard times. The company is continually expanding, all bases are in the UK, we get a 5% pay rise in Apr with a quicker promotion to SFO for those with experience and we probably fly only 500-600 hours a year. Its not the best if you want to live for work but well up there if you want to work to live.
For what its worth the HR director is well aware of the failings of the online recruitment process but it is caused by overwhelming demand. Almost 4000 applications for 80 jobs and almost 400 invited to interview.
The online system is a legacy system from the ChanEx days and is being replaced this summer. The intention is to hopefully to contact those who applied with the right skills and invite them back in the late summer or early autumn.
As well as the pilot recruitment the small HR team had to deal with 16000 other applications for other Jet 2 jobs. As you will appreciate not a small task. Its always disappointing when applications get lost but hopefully the new system will reduce some of the frustrations. Its obviously not great when an individuals first impression of a company is a 'confused' recruitment process.
