@drivez: I have a frozen ATPL, 212 hours and no JOC, What about yourself?

@flyingmutant: No, They certainly do not. Just make sure you have done some research before hand about their fleet and where they fly to and from.
They asked me why I wanted to become a pilot apprentice, what could I bring to the team, what do I know about jet 2 and their fleet etc. Basic interview questions really.

magicmick, the same happened to me during the numerical reasoning tests. Has anyone else with this problem contacted Jet2? I've not heard anything since emailing them and cannot find a number to call. Don't want to miss out because of a technical glitch!

Hi G-Golf

Initially I sent an email to the kenexa address and heard nothing from them so after about a week I sent the same email to the jet2 recruitment email address and got an answer within 24hrs.

Earlier this year (Jan or Feb I think) I applied for the previous Pilot Apprentice position and sat the online assessments then, sadly I went no further in the application process. However the results from the online assessments that I sat back then are valid for 12 months so there is no need to resit them as it was less than 12 months ago so the original results are still valid.

I was hoping to have another attempt and get a better result but that's not the way it works, maybe the questions this time around are the same as last time though I don't remember any of them.

So the simple answer is if you sat the assessments lass than a year ago for the last apprentice recruitment campaign then your results will still stand for now.

Personally I feel that if my results last time were not good enough then I don't fancy my chances this time around either.

If you've never completed the online assessments before and you still can't access them then I recommend you contact [email protected].

Good luck.

magicmick, thankyou! That explains it then. I too was hoping for another shot at the tests since I assume that's why I didn't get any further the last time. Well thanks for clearing that up for me, can only sit and wait with everything crossed again. Good luck!!

@magicmick where did you do the JOC?

In general, is enough the one at CRM?

Not sure how much sim time the CRM course includes.

In the past Jet2 have only accepted any JOC which includes minimum 16hrs sim time, the current recruitment ad states that it needs to be a 16hrs JOC. I assume that by this they mean 16hrs sim time and not 16hrs total sim and classroom time. You might want to email the recruitment address to confirm this before committing to spending money and time on a course that might not be sufficient.

There are plenty of JOCs that include less than 16hrs sim but not a lot of that include 16hrs or more sim time, in the UK I think OAA has sufficient time and if you’ve got the CTC AQC course then they’ll accept that.

I notice that your location is Italy, I’m sorry but I have no idea about JOC courses in Italy. If you’re currently in Italy then I’m confident that you can find somewhere close to home that will have a 16hr sim JOC without having to come to UK.

Well 16 hours FFS is some extremely expensive joke. Just to learn to deal with Tuck Under, Dutch Roll and few other things.

Does MCC count also in that 16 hours?Then after that a 4 hours JOC should be sufficient. I guess. Anyone?

How many more times does it have to be said. Jet2 are quite clear in their advert,they want a JOC that included 16 hours in a sim. That not a combination of hours from mcc, I.R. or some hours you inherited from your granny.

Hi all,

I've heard stories of online assessments and telephone interviews but that's about it.

Has anyone actually been invited to an assessment day yet?

Applied last Thursday, phone interview on Friday and haven't heard anything since!

I guess that seeing as PilotNC applied after and got called quicker back I won't be invited for an assessment, shame!

Apart from PilotNC removing his claim, there seems to be nobody who has been invited to assessment?

My understanding is that there are going to be 2 assessment days in early Dec.

It seems a little strange that no invites have been sent out with December just a couple of working days away.....

I have been told that they were looking to have people start in January '14, seems strange that no one has been invited to any assessment yet.

Jet2 assessments were not fair in my opinion especially for non-native people.
I hope i will get a call from them in the next couple of days !!!

Are you implying that you have had an assessment in either Leeds or Manchester?

I have an assessment in Leeds on Tuesday. Not sure if there is more than one assessment day or how many are going to assessment.
