I have been told that I will be banned if I post any negaive comments that may cause distress.
I am very sorry for alarming those who work at Silverjet. I am sure that people do like the product and that they have many happy staff.
This is not the place to discuss the the business aspects of Silverjet but do think it should be discussed somewhere else like the "jet blast" pages for those who are interested.

Silverjet rosters
On average you will get 8 days off a month. The average amount of trips on a published roster is 3.5 and normally you will get two days off after a trip. However they love their standbys and your roster usually fills up quickly. You can expect roster changes after most trips, however they cannot use you on published days off. The company are absolutely petrified of giving you days off, so you will find your rosters littered with standbys, contactables and the like. Many people are doing two or more back to backs a month, (2 trips with no days off in between) and it's known for some to be doing as many as 4 or 5 b2bs in a row with only two days off in between each (millionaires, but knackered ones!!) Silverjet crew are very hard working!
Also beware... if you do go for interview they will tell you that you can earn 11k a year in flight pay/bonuses. This is utter rubbish as it usually works out at about £450 on top of your basic a month for flight pay and the bonus scheme does not exist. Flight pay is £2.75 an hour from check in to landing back in the UK, however there is no down route allowances.
Pension contribution is 5% of basic.
It's true direct management are very approachable, however they don't seem to have the ability to make changes, so it's not much use, and there is no union.
All this said, I enjoy working for silverjet and would recommend it.

New Investment
A knight in "silver" armour seems to have saved the day, an initial investment of $25 mill in debt and equity with immediate $8 mill for shares at 17p and a memorandum of understanding for a further $75 mill investment by UAE businessman to move into new middle east markets.
Nice to see a bit of good news for a change.
