I have applied for this without the JOC, would it make a great deal of difference to them that I don't have? Would I be ruled out straight away?
Or would it depend on the candidates?

6 - 10k!! Where have you got those figures from??
At the risk of sounding rude, the advert clearly says you must have a JOC. Why have you ignored this and applied? You won't get looked at without one.

Out of interest, does anybody know why Jet2 insist on a JOC? I did my MCC in a 732 full motion sim, but never did a JOC. Amazingly, despite this awful lack in my training, I had no problem on a type rating.
I'm guessing it's just another method of weeding candidates out?

I know a couple of guys who got accepted on this the first time round (interviews, assessments passed and job offers sent out) However, when they returned the signed contracts they were then told the offers had been withdrawn because they did not live in the Leeds area. Apparently someone very senior in Jet2 had come in to the office, seen the details and said that he did not want the hassle of possible long distance commuters. Even assurances that they would find accommodation in the Leeds area did not help them.
It might not happen this time - but Yorkshire folk might have an advantage!

location bias
I don't know the legal aspects of discriminating by geography, but I too heard that those not based locally aren't likely to get in.
I'll be putting my uncle's address in yorkshire on my application for any Jet2 application from now on.

I completed the online tests yesterday, got a telephone interview this morning. But be warned. They definitely need a joc. Didnt get it because I didn't have one. Be warned! Good luck to anyone applying

Any chance you know if they required 16 hours purely for JOC or if it was a minimum 16 hours MCC/JOC?
Thank you.

I feel a bit sorry for Jet2.
They put an advert out that says candidates must have completed a 16 hour JOC. Yet one person wastes their time by applying even though they don't have a JOC. Another asks on here if they will look at people who haven't completed a 16 hr JOC.
It's very simple, read the advert!

Tests yesterday telephone interview today?! Jeez that sounds like a pretty quick process, also guess that counts me out! Wonder how they will consider low airline time (and no I'm not p2f!!), or if they are purely after 250 hour JOC completed.

You can't blame a man for trying. Have to apply for anything and everything nowadays. Yeh.
Schweizer2:They require a standalone minimum 16 hour JOC.
Drivez:yeh it was pretty quick. When did you apply?

Friday evening Fanor and did the test on Saturday morning. Verbal reasoning was ok, didn't manage to do all the maths questions. They weren't that difficult, just time consuming calculations.
Interested to know what you have?

Fanor - would you be willing to give a rough idea of what to expect in the telephone interview? It certainly doesn't sound like they give you much time to prepare if you pass the online tests.
thanks
