Ab-Initio Second Officer Jet2

[Planefan2981]

Compass test, one on one interview last week, and apparently sim testing next week...so he says

[clunk1001]

The application only asks for cv and cover and then the usual equal opportunities / right to work stuff and that's it

Anyone else think it's a little odd not to have any aviation related questions in the initial application?

Well I guess that answers the question posed at the start of this thread.



Good luck OAA grads.

Bad luck everyone else.

Oxford grad'?

I too am Oxford grad! But that was 10 years ago.I did go get myself instructor rating though, after following their great careers advice and now have 1,000 hours of teaching 'other' wanabees to fly.2000 hours total by now.Will I be called I wonder?!

[clunk1001]

Sounds to me like they already had the candidates for this role lined up before they even advertised it.

Not an uncommon practice - the Job advertisement gets published so the company are seen to follow normal recruitment practices and procedures.

[Planefan2981]

Im not sure they had applicants lined up before they advertised, more an idea of which attributes and training records suitable candidates covered; hence why the selection has taken place so quickly. Not everyone who was successful trained with OAA

[schweizer2]

Well my status has just changed to "Application Unsuccessful"

bummer

Jet2

Got email saying unsuccessful !!!!!!
After having all the requirement with just above 1500 hrs and also close to base. Don't know what else I need to be consider.

Good luck to you guys

Regards,

I don't have anywhere near 1500hrs nor live close to a base yet mine still says 'application received' and no PFO email.

Not getting my hopes us, as when they were recruiting for pilot apprentices everyone was getting PFOs but I didn't get mine 'til much later.

I think Jet2 like teasing me !!!

[Wodka]

Even Columbo would be baffled with this

[plikee]

flying apprentice you're in the same position as me. Last time they took long to send my PFO e-mail and for this position, I've got application received so far. let's see what the future has to give us !

[OhNoCB]

App received here too. NTR, <1000 hours with multi crew experience but not on jets.

[P40Warhawk]

SO unsuccesful, but First Officer still application received.

Have no hope anymore on Jet2.
Would be nice if I would get a chance, but you should be realistic.

[flying apprentice]

Plikee, I'm not holding out any hopes. Sounds like they've already got who they want and we've been left in limbo.

Just weird how some people get PFOs whilst others haven't. I think they might just have rubbish recruitment/application management software.

[castlethorpe]

I have been called for an assessment. I am not familiar with Compass tests. Are they multiple choice, basic maths?
I'm interested to hear from anyone that has sat them.

[Planefan2981]

Castlethorpe are you sure it's for the ab-initio programme. I have also heard that this position has been filled?

Interviews

Hi guys,

I've just heard Jet2 has carried out some interviews in Alicante few days ago. I'm sorry not to bring you more info, but that's all I've been told.

Does anyone know how many people are they hiring? Or where they are going to be based? Is that for its Alicante's base or any of its UK's?

So long.

[Planefan2981]

jet2 apparently only need around 5-6 positions for second officer...and it was to my knowledge that the interviews and sim checks have already taken place?
