7.5k is not that significant for most rated joiners as it is likely they are joining for their base of preference, making it unlikely that they'll leave any time soon.

However, it does prevent the...

No, I don't hate the desert. It's a harmless bunch of sand dunes.

Luke Skywalker didn't hate the desert, but then again he didn't live in Mos Eisley.

I was lucky enough to have HSBC bankroll my training before 9/11, followed by a (then) small airline taking a chance on me with only 170 hours total flying experience.

Jet2 Autumn 2014

Where has this advert appeared?

Type-rated only, or NTR invited?

Is it permanent positions or just contract agency stuff?
