Flyjet
Flyjet has its moments but in all it is a good company to work for.
Firstly most of the crew are fantastic. They really are a great bunch of people. If you've never flown before this lot will make you feel really welcome and will help you out in whatever way they can.
Secondly new aircraft is being fitted with seats and having all its work done, so fingers crossed great new destinations.

According to the flyjet web site:
"The company has operated its aircraft throughout Europe and to three continents, Africa, Asia and the Middle East."
Last time I checked, Africa is a continent, as is Asia.
The Middle East is a geographic area which stretches from northeast Africa and into Southwest Asia.
Hope their web gurus are sent back to school.

Erm.... why would flyjet be recruiting over 100 staff if they were going to be bullet trips?? Surely with the crew they have at the moment, thats far too many for 3 aircraft.
The length of trip will depend on the commercial demand of that destination. We've had 1, 5 & 10 day Amritsar's, 2, 5 & 7 day Accra's and 1,3,5 & 7 Day Tel Aviv's (which were all great trips) amongst others. There was also a Montreal and MAN crew got a Cancun.
Don't get me wrong, we have had our fair share of bullet trips but that was because of either lack of crew or because there was another flight to that destination the next day.
The problem with people is they dont give flyjet a chance

What are the Amritsar, Accra and Freetown trips like? I mean do the crew enjoy the cities?
What is Amritsar like, as it is not a capital city like Accra and Freetown?
Cheers.

Amritsar is a very poor area in india. You make the most of the trips. I have loved it. Did a trip down to dehli and to aggra to see the taj mahal. Accra is lovely. The manager of the hotel will do anything to make our stay enjoyable. the sierra leone trips are new. will tell u about it when i have been
