Unusually for me I had a bit of trouble sleeping last night and stumbled across this thread and viewed it with interest.
If you dont like it here move on. some of us do like it!
Yes there are some problems but where are there companies that dont have problems.
I actually think some of those posting dont actually work for Jet2 anymore Orient Spy being one of those:
A. Your name on here seems to refer to someone else within the company. Did you not fall out with him?
B. You refer to the Leeds base captain. Did you not fall out with him also?
C. You have also mentioned the crew council. Did you not have a really big fall out with a member of the council?
D.Will your next post refer to the last person you fell out with right at the end?
E.There are other things in your posts that point directly to you, you know a little about a lot. They are all bullet points that have probably been gained from you friends still within the company and also what you witnessed whilst working here. All the information you post is widely available through these sources but you have not expanded on these point at any great length!
If it is you I wish you well, but please try and move on it would help us all.

Monkfish has on this thread and numerous other threads stated how bad things are at Jet2, yet still continues working at Jet2. Orient Spy (if he works for Jet2) seems to think he is actually financing Jet2. Clearly two very odd individuals who's only aim is to insult Jet2 and who seem very upset with the runaway success of this dynamic airline.

BALPA or any other Union?
No chance. It is PM's train set and he wont have it. The rest is merely window dressing.
"Runaway succes of this dynamic airline" mmmmmmmm.
The A300s, L188s, F27s and Heralds (from where the money came to purchase these "new" toys) were also dynamic and very very successful and where are thay now? Ask those cast off in to redundantcy from the Channnex team, they, like me probably have a rather different view of the Norths favourite airline
Take note all those who enter here.

Redundancy
Those off the A300, F27 etc are either retired or working elsewhere for a LOT more money.
Redundancy is a window of opportunity and very often the kick in the pants you need to get you out of that comfort zone. I know from what felt like bitter experience at the time, but it turned out just great.
Regarding Balpa, well you don't go to a gunfight with a catapult do you? Luckily at the moment it's just a playground scuffle. That said, I've got my Balpa membership card in my back pocket. Always has been.
Don't forget Philip and Ian need bums on seats more than we need them. I know of someone who just turned down a B777 LHS for Emirates to stay here because it suits him. We all have our own personal reasons to be here so lets make it the best for all of us it can be.
Happy New Year to ALL

Greener Grass?
Well don't you sound a happy bunch?
OK, so you have some gripes, who doesn't? but can it be all that bad?
I have an interview with Jet 2 soon, and to be honest, having read some of your comments, I was begining to wonder Why bother?
But then it struck me. You can't please all the people all the time. Sometimes you can't please any of them. But, when it all comes together,.... Kerrching!!
I work for an airline that has been systematically eroded away over a period of years. Not by poor management, but with a set goal in mind - closure. So, from my standpoint, you don't have it so bad. You may beg to differ.
Alright, the grass may not be greener anywhere, but at least you have grass!
I'm prepared to give it a go, not because of a lack of alternatives, but I see Jet2 where some of the other low cost carriers were several years ago and look at them now.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not berating anyone on how they feel about their lot. I've been there! But when it's time to move on, belive me, you'll know it.
Anyway, a Happy New Year to you all. Perhaps we'll meet soon....

Orient Spy
I don't work for Jet2, but note with interest the similarity in issues between the staff and management of this company and many others.
I also note that you have posted elsewhere to do with Thomson, are you about to start there or already a Thomson employee? If so, why the unhelpful vitriol aimed at certain individuals at Jet2?

Well Well Well,
Orient Spy We all know who this individual is, must be our well liked and respected, mentally well adjusted
Singapore Airlines/ British Airways Captain ( Walter Mitty) who joined us as an FO about 2 years ago.
Now very sadly missed Off to Thomson Fly where Im sure he will recieve the warm welcome he did here. Infact a few people Im sure must have let Tfly Management know what an asset they now have
Point for consideration.
Dont try and post such S'4te and make it look like a fellow 'respected' colleague who flew in the far east.
Random word of fact
Capon= Castrated bird that cannot fly

I would not be too sure about that my friend. 
A simple search on here will out the real Orient spy. There is only one person who worked for Orient Thai who now works for Jet2.
Just check out:-

By posting T'Fly questions (after he was outed on here I might add) I think the real person is trying to put everyone off the scent
Grab it Ass You've been had my son.

I can confirm 100% that CG has no involvement with the 'orient spy' posts.
And before you ask Its not me either its just that CG ain't on line because i've been trying to get him to e:mail me some stuff for months.
