I'm thinking about applying to them as flight deck as I want a home base. I enjoy my current job but I'm sick of committing.
Can anyone tell me what the financials are like for the company. I read their last annual report a while back. What do people think long term?
I ask as I work for an extremely stable airline but I really want to be based closer to home but don't want to risk it.
I'm a little uncertain what people mean when it's revolving doors. What does that mean in the context of Jet2?

I doubt anyone on here can answer your question, Jet2 have a healthy balance sheet and cash reserves and a sound business plan with a loyal mainly northern customer base.
If you get the base you want/need its worth a punt, most of the people that i know who work there seem happy, but are not happy about roster stability and it would appear pilot turnover is increasing.
All down to basing, most will put up with all kinds of crap if they can sleep in their own bed on a night

Disruptive passenger
I see Jet2 have issued a life time ban to a Mr Marshall following his behaviour which it is alleged resulted in the flight diverting into Toulouse, it has also sent him an invoice for Ł4800.00 to cover its costs, it will be interesting to see how that plays out in court!!
Its about time airlines started getting tough with these idiots, there should be an industry wide no fly list for these people, sadly the human rights act will likely block any such approach
I applaud Jet2 for taking this stand

Well done jet2, travel is a privilege, if it's not treated as such it should be taken away. With that in mind, What part of the Human Rights act would an industry-wide "no fly" list violate, or are you just spouting daily mail non-sense?

Have to agree, could we not just make passports be earned / respected rather than just given away and confiscated if it was felt that in a situation you had let the side down so to speak. I speak as a dual national (Swiss / UK) and have to say that I have yet to see or hear of any issues with Swiss flights being diverted in similar circumstances . However we can have some what tragic matrimonial issues with assault rifles for all concerned, so Rolex land is not perfect by a long way !

Nothing to do with the Daily Mail
I think you would find that an EU wide flight ban would be challenged in the ECHR on the grounds that it restricted the rights of free movement that all European citizens enjoy, an individual airline is of course free to chose who it decides to serve or not.
Lets just see if Mr Marshall quietly pays up or decided to ignore/fight Jet2 invoice for costs, if Jet2 have served him any alcohol on board then i suspect Jet2 would fail at court. They would also have to prove that the diversion was necessary, not a knee jerk reaction by the Captain to the CC complaining about some one supping their own alcohol, a court might find it contradictory that someone is allowed to drink alcohol on board, but only if it was bought on board.
I am not in anyway defending this idiot, but short of making flights a no alcohol flight its very difficult to get balance right for both the airline and passenger, but unless your flying on a Privilege aircraft, few would see flying in single class a privilege these days......

Mute point, but you are not restricting freedom of movement as you still have land and sea option, only the flying option, which although making life difficult does not impede travel. As for the call to divert I believe that the Captains decision as to if he / she feels that the passenger causes a clear threat to plane or passengers would override any other concern. I take the point on the alcohol possibly being bought on board or Duty Free being consumed on board, however I would think this would still be overruled by captains decision on security of plane/ passengers / crew.

in fact the Jet2 site now has:
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays made the decision earlier this week to stop selling flights and holidays to Tunisia for the remainder of 2015 and summer 2016.

What jet2 need is a couple of second hand 76's in the jet2 holidays scheme
Special Report: Jet2 tops million customer mark with traditional package strategy
Special Report: Jet2 tops million customer mark with traditional package strategy - www.travelweekly.co.uk
The operator continues to grow and, according to chief executive Steve Heapy, it will continue to “focus on what it does best – package holidays you can trust”, rather than branching into long-haul or “unnecessary expansion” in the south.

I thought they might of given the long haul a bash, they seem to know their stuff, plus if they bought them out right no lease charges on them either, they could operate them for shorter distances like your turkeys and Greece's
