I think tha animosity directed at Jet2 recruiting policies is largely historic, the selection system a few years back was very badly run with very experienced pilots being sat in front of a computer game type test with flight director bars that worked back to front, this and a bunch of other tests designed to see if a non-pilot was a good training risk may be good for selecting cadets from the X-box generation but us 15,000 hour old farts are not good in front of the games consol !

This policy ended when the management finally concluded that the J2 pilot shortage was due to the rejection of lots of experienced pilots on due to lack of computer gaming skills.

My result from the Jet2 selection was totally successful in that they rejected me and the next job I was interviewed for was, much better paid, flying new equipment and based on my doorstep !............ I wish you a similar outcome.
