The 757 emergency landing was due to flight deck reporting engine vibration.

Must be short of quite a few guys, judging by how many bases I'm having to work out of at the moment and it's busy enough at my own!

A few guys are already at maximum duty hours and the rest must be getting close............

Just returned today on G-JELK (Jet2 Edinburgh) on Blackpool - Belfast and I must say it was the worst flight ever !!! you couldnt sit right back on the seats as they would fall behind, the cabin was dirty and the crew was not friendly, maybe a bad day for them, but really was a shock as Jet2 is usually A1

Assume you mean G-CELK as there is no aircraft registered G-JELK.

Yup sorry :O

Ha ha, and now this seasonal contract BS is coming back to bite J2 in the ass.:yuk:

Come for a face to face interview on the 17 July to Start O.C.C. on the 19 July for a 3 month contract,:ugh:

These clowns are desperate for experienced 737 FOs.

I can tell you the CAA are NOT impressed with J2 seasonal pilot policy

Jet2 Leeds to Malaga
 

Does anyone know why todays (Saturday 17/7/2010) 16:00 Malaga flight was delayed for 5 hours?.

High Season, Maximum Aircraft Utilisation, Aircraft go Tech and have to be fixed, Congestion at Foreign Airports.
In other words same as why many other flights, with many airlines, were delayed yesterday.
Welcome to the real world. It could get worse before it gets better!!

suck egg mule....what exactly do you know about the CAA and their views on J2? very little i suspect as the CAA are only concerned with standards etc, NOT terms and conditions of employment!

Quite correct bluepilot, that is why the CAA may well be looking at Jet2 because of standards.
I have no way of knowing if they are or not, but my opinion and it is only an opinion, it is never a good idea of bringing pilots on sort term contracts when you know very little about them.
Cast your mind back to the pilot recently found to have forged his licence details, he was rumoured to have flown a season at Jet2 and l guess the CAA were not to impressed.

and if you remember the pilot concerned was apparently a very good operator and his standards were that good he had become a training captain with the company he had conned at that time! Anyone can be the victim of criminal activity......standards are another thing. I came to this airline from a national flag carrier and can tell you that I have been very impressed with the training standards at Jet2. Any airline can always improve including your beloved Monarch mr spotty, I bet that when Monarch first employ any pilot they know very little about them, no recruitment process can be perfect, but spreading unfounded rumours are another form of criminality.

Sharm from manchester
 

Just booked sharm from Manchester in november,never flown with J2 before,Are the meals worth booking and can i expect any sort of IFT.

No and sort of. You'll get a paid for DVD player if your lucky

After reading all this regarding bogus pilots at jet2 and the CAA investigating them i think will stick to monarch in future, very worrying :\:\

I thought Mr Chowder would have got in first - true to form the Monarch mob are at it again. I see he is posting his usual inappropriate comments on the Goldtrail thread.
The bogus pilot is old news and well reported on here ages ago and who says the CAA are investigating Jet2?.
Stick to your beloved Monarch but dont throw your muck at others who are trying to earn a living in difficult times.

Even for a rumour network the implicit admission of lack of true knowledge and facts is breathtaking ....:ugh:

Don't want to sound rude or anything, but it has started to annoy me now. Cherrylocks comments are either always posted under a lack of knowledge or as sarcasm. Cherrylock if you are being serious and are constantly worried about all the things mentioned on here, then i suggest either you stick to something like holidaytruths.co.uk to find out your information on jet2 and stop using this forum or don't believe everything you see on here and stop comparing Jet2 and Monarch all the time...

To say you always have doubts about LS, you always seem to be flying with them or planning on booking with them???

@cherrylock

having seen your comments over the past few months it's obvious you work for monarch or have some tie to monarch so dont be commenting on here pretending to be a concerned pax cause it's bullsh*t. I'm not on Jet2's side actually i will always fly monarch over Jet2 as i'm loyal to them just as jet2 have tens of thosands of loyal pax. Jet2 and Monarch have fantastic safety records so this is not an issue. It's like a school yard in here sometimes. :ugh:

By all accounts jet 2 have a bit of previous in the bogus qualification dept, didnt they employ a"licenced engineer"a couple of years ago who it transpired a few months later wasnt a licensed engineer at all
and the only qualification he had was a PPL,caused a bit of a kerfuffle with the CAA who didnt see the funny side of someone with no licence certifiying commercial aircraft

Doesn`t say much for their quality department then !
