Clouscarer,
I agree with u in that a job at the moment is important "no airline u would rather work for"..................OH MY Jet2 is an appalling place to work esp at the moment and always will be, run by absolute cretins, senior and pilot management. If that is ur observation and all u aspire to in the aviaition world, then that is more depressing than the recession itself.

Hi Buzz Boy,
I have been at Jet2 about a year now and so far so good. Sure like most airlines there are things that could be improved, but i have found most people friendly and the rostering and crewing bods are human! (unlike my previous mob!!)
I think Jet2 is well placed to weather out the credit crunch storm that we are in, alot of work has been picked up recently and so I think the future looks reasonable.
As to your questions regarding how long the contract is or what the pay is like for contractors i have no idea. I suspect that Jet2 are hedging their bets and may look to extend or make perm contracts (for pilots) if the business improves (not heard this just my opinion).
Good luck with your application . BP.

I tried my luck.... but no joy turned down for an interview today. They wouldn't give any feedback due to high volume of applicants.
For your info my limited experience is:
410hrs on 757, fairly current too
1035hrs TT
Best of luck to the rest of you

Perhaps they're not serious then? Maybe they've found a new way of operating a 757 or 737 with 1.3 people? Sooper efficient or what?
Seriously though, I wish bods going for a job with Jet2 the best of luck. The guys you fly with and cabin crew are a good bunch. There's new and crap destinations that will surprise and wow future employers but it's all character building stuff.

They're definitely serious. However, general view is that we will be under-crewed during the coming summer. To what extent, and as to what will transpire when it is obvious that the required roster needs many more than currently present remains to be seen.
I spoke with someone very much higher than my payscale, and the consensus of potential difference between current numbers and those required to fly the summer program was a very large figure.

Probably need more!! There are more routes planned for S09 than there was 08.
With the addition of Sharm et al, that will also place a greater no of staff on longer rest periods.
At one point over x-mas, with all the extra chaters, someone in Crewing told me there was NO stanby cover ANYWHERE that day for 757 Captains!!!! .............. and we're supposed to work the summer with the same crew ??
Still, I will be glad of the extra hours and could certainly do with the pay (who couldn't) , but we can only work what is legal...........
Good luck to all who have applied and I wish you even more luck if you end up having to fly with me!!
