still no news
Has anyone else still not heard back with either good or bad news?
I've not been invited for any further assessment but also not had any communication saying I've not been successful.
I wouldn't be so worried if I didn't know that others have had their assessment already. With only 3 places available, i doubt there's any sort of holding pool..
I'm wondering if I should be contacting them to ask what's going on? Of those who have been unsuccessful was there any notes/messages left on your application page of the job website?

I'm not being funny but that's a rather sweeping statement to jump in on this thread with no back up or source provided. I don't completely preclude the possibility that what you say may indeed be truthful, but without the credibility provided by any further information I'm sure that there are those of us here that will still remain optimistic.

Just seems strange that some people got replies whilst others didn't. It doesn't look hopeful, but until I get a definite 'no' I'll live in hope.
I think I'll email them and ask what's happening, especially seeing that my application is still open on my profile on their recruitment website.

I don't think it's a lack of professionalism.
Maybe it's a glitch in their recruitment system that they're not aware about.
Hopefully it's not the end of the road for those of us who've not heard back, but the signs aren't good.

It looks like a good opportunity for a job.
========
The only wiggly bit is:
I mean, either one is preparing for management now, in which case being stuck on the ground in Ops is perhaps fine.
But should not prospective candidates with the above qualifications (which is akin to a degree) be wandering around flying an aeroplane somewhere in the world . . ? And, learning all about it from company groundschool and the Line training Captain.
"Well done, you have completed your ATPL - that`s your desk over there"
sake.
yes, wandering around trying to get interviews, having a coffee en passant in a million different places, enquiring to every airline in the world, knowledge of every airline directory <<fuse blows>> treating your first search for your job as a pilot, like a full blown military operation in the recce stage - this is your birthright or there is something seriously wrong with you, having got this far? <<foams at the mouth>>
I have said it before -( Cut the cp!!) There are loads of jobs worldwide - geddit? Global and if you cannot find it, that`s your fault not a global economic downturn or any mandy pandy excuses - so get out there and get flying, get onto ALL of the networking systems in place, find them on the printed websites section on here get a bagful of lose change and phone like its going out of fashion and then when you look down from the right seat of this or the left seat of that you will see people in white shirts walking into and out off their little offices and you can say to yourself <<ambulance called>> "that could have been me!" You have an ATPL - you are lucky, lucky to have such a licence which you acquired with much cost (to someone) and hardship - now take the ticket and go and get hired - the battle `aint over yet, not even a little bit. Lord!<<carted away on a stretcher>>

As 'flying apprentice' has already mentioned - the application is indeed still classified as open on the recruitment website.
I wonder if I could trouble any of those who have received a rejection email to find out if this is the case for their applications too?

Mine states that my application was unsuccessful.
I could be completely wrong but I have been hearing that some of those who have done the first assessment have been contacted about a 2nd round of testing.
Good luck to all who are still in the running. This may not be everyone's chosen path to go straight into a co-pilot seat but it would be quite interesting to learn about different ground prospects of an airline whilst making your way up to that co-pilot seat... especially without spending some more cash!
To all those who moan about this being a joke after having a fATPL, please send me the contract if you are successful, I shall gladly sign my name over and enjoy the 18 months as much as possible.

Pilot Apprentice - Jet 2
I spoke to the recruitment team at jet2.com the other day and they stated that they will be letting everyone know within 48hrs. I am still waiting on the outcome. Keep your chins up guys and girls!

Hoping the old adage, no news is good news applies in this case.
I suspect that means all being well, we'll know by the end of play today (Friday), as I doubt recruitment works weekends.
