Despite the thread generally been about Ryanair! I know of a mate who's started at Jet2 this year, he's current and a very experienced Boeing pilot - he's on 50% reduced salary until training is finished; doing 5 simulator sessions, 2 jump-seat flights on an aircraft he's flown for nearly 10 years and 20 sectors training planned...maybe Pilot Apprentices are J2 thing!?!
This industry and it's management are nothing short of pathetic... The world has lost its way....it's not just FR! And I gather recruitment at Yorkshires Airline is ongoing due to its turnover, present intake not overly impressed either...
