Similarly here. How has everyone else fared? I applied for the FO position at Jet2 also and it never changed beyond 'App Received' before getting the rejection email so fingers crossed this is a positive thing.

It could just be a way they filter their applications and they either go from processing directly to rejected or to review where it gets a 2nd opinion.
Or just luck of the draw! who knows.

Hi folks, are you able to expand at all such as when did you apply, are you local to their bases and perhaps experience?
I would imagine it is on a first come first served basis for checking your application but wondered if perhaps there was a little more.

Hello Mr-P,
For your questions:
-In the UK but do not currently live within the area of one of their bases, I would say within a 1h30min drive.
- No previous airline experience, just few bonus hours in general aviation which helped increase my PIC time although not in a twin.
I don't think they would base their recruitment on a first come first serve, It would be crazy for them to leave out an application because they applied 5 minutes before they closed the job advert when they could easily hit the jackpot with that applicant.

Query
Just wondering how people plan to pay for the TR if they are successful? I certainly don't have 20K sitting in the bank... Is a bank likely to give a loan if you had an offer of employment?

Changed to 'under review' yesterday. Also applied to the FO position and like someone said on page before, my application never changed from 'received' before getting a PFO...so hoping they are taking this one more seriously.
I live 35 mins away from a base!

Hi Jimmy,
I applied for the NTR FO, ive got just over 250 hours so thought why not its worth a shot...but as predicted got rejected, so applied for the 2nd officer position with more of a chance.
I did my JOC course with CTC aviation down in Bournemouth on the 737-300 after completing a university degree.
Have you got a JOC and if so, where did you do yours?

Really that JOC. Another way to get extra money in the pocket. Anyone an idea where you can do a JOC in a short time. Not like most offer , 3-8 weeks, for only few hours sim and few days ground school.

Thnx Jimmy and Schweizer. I will check those indeed.
Is this EPTA Still excisting? Can not find the link to their page
. Because what you say is very interesting. Much better then what others offer. 8 freakin weeks for a JOC .
Any other suggestions, for a fair price? Not the 8k in CTC. With all due respect, but that is to much.

btw, my application is also "under review" from yesterday and I don't have a JOC in my papers, so I guess that chances for me are a little bit lowered
Good luck to all
Are European still running courses at BOH after their purchase by Cardiff Aviation?
Last time I was there (early June) the 737-200 and 747-200 sims were being dismantled. The only sims operational were the 747-400 and the S-61.

That is an interesting question cgwhitemonk11. I wondered if it was an obstacle for many people applying/joining.
I'm lucky that it is sat there in the bank. Probably one of the few times age counts for you in that I've had an opportunity to save up.

Quick question guys,
How important do you think the result of a compass test could be to determine whether you will get through selection. You could be the perfect candidate and screw up a little on these.
Thanks
