Hours??

Can anyone here please tell me how many hours the Jet2 crew flies on the different types?
How many hours will a 37 F/O have on a year and the same for a 57 F/O??

Thanks in advance

Depends on which base you are referring to, but in general I would have said that this year on the 737 F/O's would have done somewhere between 450 - 600 hours

, and on the 757 maybe 500 - 650 hours

. I think that we are expecting it to increase for next year

That makes me a below average 737 first officer.
In so many ways.

It was a rough guess

. Go on then, fill us in on how much you've done, and where you're based.

Leeds International Airstrip and 440. So you're pretty close!

Okay thank you guys. Am trying to figure out if it is a company that is worth aiming for, for me. I know a lot of the CC and they seems quit happy, but that can be very different for the FD.

Happy landings

Hi - where about are the the 757`s based ?. I know the first one(s) went to Leeds. Jet2´s homepage says a total of 5 now. Is it possible to commute and finally - my contract ends early Feb next year, will there be any need at that time for experienced 757 pilots. Thanks. Twin2040.
