Thumbs up 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.

other destinations....but have u heard they r bullet trips,dont think there going to leave that on the ground to long,going by the battered 757.lets hope we get engineers who fix it to,instead like the 757,same broken problems,but being signed off ok....hence the massive delays during last month.poor manchester crew to,the (gatwick based airline),will prob base it at lgw,and operate mainly lgw crew.manchester to do leftover crap.there a nice airline to start flying as ur 1st job.at lgw there can be some horrors,Crew,and up there ass some,but thats lgw based airlines as a whole,when u get on the staff park coach..just look at monarch crew for 1.

Towers,

Is that comment really for real? Genuine question. I knock into Flyjet from time to time and they seem okay.

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

Flyjet Trips

Just got my roster for sept.... 12 sectors. But I have a week in Accra (Ghana) and a week in Freetown (Sierra Leone). Sounds Good.

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

Just got my roster, am comin to work in gatwick for a week :-)
fly from manchester on 15th do 16th tfs, 17th tun, 19th cfu so if any of lgw crew r on these will b with u.

n as for trips its the same with any long haul airline get the occasional long stay n the odd bullet trip, n with more planes to come in the future its gonna get even better than it is now for Flyjet.
