6 FTE grads I know have got into Jet2, I was self sponsored and got in.

I'm going at the end of Feb for interview/ assessment. I'm self sponsored so fingers crossed. So far dealings with FTE Jerez have been very impressive and professional.

Jet2 apprentice position open again? anyone have any experience of the process from last time or information that cant be found from the advert? Be interested to hear what salary is on offer to the apprentice's

none
you have to pay your course :/

No you don't

Yes, you have to, I'm sorry, but i have just talking with they, I live in Malaga, I can not do it becouse I cannot pay it, so if you have about 40.000 € , and you pass the test.
they can provide funding, but you will have to also pay.

Looks like there’s a bit of confusion going on where ShIfTy is referring to the Jet2 Pilot Apprenticeship where the successful applicants work in various Jet2 ground departments for 12 months (receiving a salary) before they attend a fully Jet2 funded Boeing 737 type rating and go on to fly as a (salaried) Jet2 pilot.

The candidates do have to fund their own way through to CPL and MEIR with MCC and JOC.

Megamc seems to be referring to something completely different.

Yup, I was referring to the Jet2 Pilot Apprenticeship.

:ugh: UPSSSSS sorry :O

No worries, I didn't even know that FTE did any ATC training, I thought that they were solely into pilot training. Have a good evening guys.

Having just had an offer from FTE I've now got the dilemma whether to gamble and SS. I'm so keen to get behind the joystick (:O) that I might just jump in. However, a mate suggested that I try for Easyjet MPL.

BWSBoy6, my son had the same dilemma with a training offer from FTE but he elected to take the Modular route instead saving himself in excess of £40,000. He reduced his training time by almost 5 months too. The FTE course takes about 14 months however he completed the entire syllabus in just over 9months - granted he had a PPL already.

It took him another 4 months to find a job but he is now very happy to be working at Jet2 on their pilot apprentice scheme.

Is SS an acronym for self sponsored? If so, I don't understand your post, and think you might be confusing "self sponsored" with "modular"? There are lots of self sponsored guys training at FTE. It's my understanding that the terminology means the guys find the (not insignificant) funds themselves and aren't tagged to any particular airline.

Or have I got the wrong end of the stick? :p

Hi G-FORC3, yep modular is what I should have written, so have edited the post to reflect that.

Looks like sapco2 has edited their original post. Out of interest sapco did your son train at Gloucester? I trained there a while back but I'm aware that one of their students has got onto the Jet2 apprenticeship. Either way congratulations and good luck to him, I guess he'll be starting the type rating late this year.

Hi G-FORC3. Yes, SS meant self sponsored and I (well, parents) am funding the not inconsiderable fees. It's the 14 months course and sadly, I'm not tagged to an airline, I'm just passionate to learn and to get into the business some how.

Congratulations sapco to your son from me too. It's a tough old world out there and it sounds like he's done very well. Excellent news. :D

Hi, obviously not the person that I was thinking of though it's good to see the modular people getting a good look in. Judging from other comments that people have made in other threads Jet2 are a very reasonable bunch to work for with a lot of very satisfied and settled employees, I wish your son and his colleagues we'll, I'm sure he is having and will continue to have an absolute blast working for them.

I removed your post regarding the modular route for no other reason that it was irrelevant to THIS particular thread. Please re-read the title of the thread!
That debate / discussion has been covered many times and raising it in such threads just leads to regurgitation of the usual diatribe.

Apologies gracefully offered and accepted. The other removals were by another Mod - but I would have done the same!

Now - back to the thread please

Any updates on recent FTE graduates on the Job front?
It's been a while since the last update. Have FTE improved their airline placement service for SS graduates in recent months? as looking through old posts this seemed to be one of their downfalls?
Many thanks.
