Sorry if this has already been addressed, but can anyone based in PMI or ALC give me some information on this base? Contract type for an FO? The careers site says you get 4 soft months at PMI, is this off or just standby? And how is this looking like it will effect take home? I'm a Type rated FO and fancy a move to ALC or PMI as I have no ties in the UK and fancy a change, however I am still relatively low houred so I think PMI may be better as I believe ALC is just mainly stby? I still need to go somewhere that can provide a decent amount of hours but Would like a balance. Also, do people from the base tend to live close by? Is there much of a Jet2 community down at the Spanish bases that would be good for a bit of a social scene, or is it mainly families? `Does jet2 provide much or any assistance with the move? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Well done Jet2 - LS613 14/5
As Pax on this EMA - FUE we were well aware of the en route medical issue with a passenger.
I have to say "well done" to the excellent! CC who dealt with the situation calmly, caringly and professionally. Fortunately there were medical professionals as Pax to also provide on the spot diagnosis snd care until we landed and a local Paramedic came on board with kit.
I hope the passenger is OK and recovering.
Good to know we were in such good hands.
Bravo!

I heard differently - the aircraft was fine and did it's job up to October where it hit a bird causing substantial damage that needed repair. Not Smart Lynx fault and not the fault of Jet2 either.

FWIW - we flew FUE - BHX on it 21/10/18 and it was in fine fettle, looked good and was on-time. It was very shortly after I think that it got clobbered - right at the end of its Contract, I believe.

Yup that is when it happened. Flew outbound to AGP, i believe, and then went back to Lynx after it had been repaired. Believe it is with the BHX base till mid November ish.
