I think it's something like 19k for the first year, then 35k until you have a 1000 hours, then full FO pay.

Not asking for help as such (although if someone offered it would be more than welcome!) but could someone tell me roughly how long the numerical and verbal reasoning for Jet2 takes?

You should complete the tests and practice tests within an hour. However, You may want to divide it in two sessions - it is not required to do numerical and verbal reasoning in one shot.

I cannot find it either. Guess that the application window is closed for now. It has been over 2 weeks since the job openning was announced.

Good luck to all of guys who applied.

Read (when vacancy was open) about ATPL, clean driving licence etc. Can somebody please clarify; do you need ATPL etc to apply or is that part of the training Jet2 are offering?
Thanks.

The scheme is for low experience qualified pilots.

So how does everyone feel the tests went? I've just completed them. Verbal was okay, got through them all, unless I've completely messed it up. However, maths, I managed 8/20. Gutted, I'm almost certain maybe 7 out of those 8 are correct. I just ran out of time.

G-GOLF, I am also thinking that the verbal part was way easier than the maths part.
I suppose that it was intentionally designed in such a way, to check how a candidate cope under stress (in this case - very narrow time constrains) and I don't think that completing only part of the math questions will exclude You from the further recruitment process.

I am also wondering, if the best strategy (as seen by the person reviewing the results) is to complete the questions in correct order, or just skipping those questions on which You got stuck at some point (as I did), in order to use as many time as possible for other, potentially easier questions. What do You think about it?

Little point in discussing now but little else to think about...!

FWIW I got to question 16 on the maths, not sure how correct my answers were but most felt right. Verbal reasoning fine in the time but I'm always a bit thrown by that sort of thing...some questions seemed very unclear whereas others suspiciously obvious.

Has anyone heard anything yet?

Tests

Hi guys - when were you called in for the tests?

Do they send you an email?? I have only one Link active and the verbal reason is not active.....

Sent Jet2 an email and have not heard anything....

Any insight would be good.

From what I've heard they were calling people last week for the telephone interview stage.

Interesting...some people have only just finished the online tests. I did mine at the weekend, I hope that wasn't a waste of time.

For those that took the tests, did you get an email asking to complete online tests?

Hello AMS, as I understand it the results of on line assessments remain valid for 12 months so if you completed the assessments for a previous recruitment phase less than 12 months ago then those assessment results will still be valid and you will not get the opportunity to re-do them. If you've never attempted the online assessments before or you last attempted them more than 12 months ago then you may have a problem. Hope that helps a little

magicmick I have to say that isn't completely true. I did the online tests when they open the position first time (Feb 2013) and the last time they opened again the position (maybe Nov/Dec 2013) and I had to do it again this time. Maybe you're right and my results were so bad and they want me to repeat them ahah

That's strange as I was in the same position at the end of last year but I could not access the online assessments so I sent Jet2 an email and they replied with th 12 month rule. Maybe some people slipped through the net. Good luck with your application this time.
