I am just waiting until I get an official reaction from Jet2. Whether that is a change in application status, and email, a phone call, a letter I don't mind but I will wait for that.
The problem with having an anonymous forum in this instance is that each person with an update could very well be the one in charge of recruitment at Jet2, it could also very well be a bored 14 year old looking to cause a bit of confusion.

I have heard information directly from Jet2 HR which is exactly inline with what Benish stated.
All the 2O positions were filled by OAA cadets, and PA places filled from applications for 2O.
Oh well. Onwards and upwards!

I know because I was interviewed myself for the apprentice position on Weds 2nd in Glasgow along with 13 others. 6 positions in total going. The group consisted of I think 5 local to base Mod students (me included), 1 from FTE, and the rest from Oxford.
In total over 2000 applied for the SO jobs.
On that day the 'afternoon group' weren't able to complete the Compass tests due to technical issues so we were sent home. Although it was said a decision wouldnt be made untill everyone had the chance to come in and do the tests, I recieved my PFO/please apply next year email a few days later.
Hard to comprehend, especially when I was promised the chance to do the tests.

Hey jjp this has happened before and was described earlier in this thread. From the last time around I didn't receive any news and my profile was simply deleted. I think the same happened to many others.
I think with a different database system this time around we were all hoping it might be different but alas no.

Jimmy,
Do you realize that you should leave a gap after a full stop, comma, or any punctuation mark. All of your posts seem to start the next sentence immediately after any punctuation mark. This makes them quite difficult to read.
The reason I mention this, is because if you are presenting this way on an application, it is unlikely to be considered at all. As you point out, companies have a great many applications to filter, and those that are poorly or carelessly written are invariably discounted at an early stage.
This isn't to pick on you particularly, as it seems to be an increasingly common practice. Internet forums are the last place you would go to search out examples of grammatical excellence, but there do seem to be a number of people who are unaware of how self defeating this sort of thing can be when it appears on their employment applications, as it quite regularly does.

JJP, I was fortunate enough to be called for assessment/compass testing. There were a lot of people at the interviews (for all entry levels), I can only assume they are so busy with this stage of things that online application status's are the least of their worries right now.

Hey that's interesting and well done, any news for you? Do you have anything to do with OAA? Were you integrated or modular, any info you can share?
Cheers

Any idea how many pilot apprentice candidates have been taken through for sim testing? I am wondering if they have enough to fill the 6 places going or if they will have to re advertise.

At the assessment they said they have a need for 180 pilots over the next few years as they expand the fleet to 70 a/c.
All's not lost, everyone keep their eyes pealed!

70 aircaft
70 aircaft?
Wow! That's a huge bet. Are they really bringing as much airplanes as they say? Or is it just another foolish gossip? I hope the market finally improves and more new companies arise.
Where did you guys send your CVs? Is there any specific address or just through its web page?
