Mate of mine used to work for them on 757 fleet as an FO. After 3 years of temporary summer-only contracts he finally got a permanent contract and soon applied for SFO but was turned down because they needed 6 months in the company first, even though his sim reports said he was ready for command. So instead of Jet2 valuing his 5000+ hrs and trying to keep him, they didnt want to "set a precedent" so he just left and went to work somewhere else. Now I understand they are massively short of pilots on the 757 fleet!
