One suspects your credentials are being passively questioned as you are, apparently, a 757 driver with only 4 posts on PPRUNE and one has to question why you should ask a blogsite for such professional information that your employer would supply you with.

In fairness the guy is Italian!!

MAN will be very busy on the 75 this summer as we have a lot more routes now and 4 aircraft.

The last I heard, jet2 were inviting a select few of the contractors back this summer but I haven't heard anything in regards to 'new' contracts.

Alemxp - I fail to see why you would ask for such info if you weren't really in this postion and I would imagine that any details from jet2 regards to T & C's via a contractor would indeed be limited.

There are many other posts on PPRUNE about the T & C's , mostly the unfortunate reduction in T & C's.

I have an interview coming up with Jet2. Any info on what to expect much appreciated. Also, anyone with inside info, whats the chances of the contract becoming a permanent job?

Hi there!!!

To the people having interviews, did you apply directly to Jet2 or via
an agency/contractor? (couldn't find anything in the Jet2 website)

All the best!!!

Cheers,
Zero

sorry guys..but I was just looking for some infos..
yes,I am a 75 and expecially 76 driver.
and I'm not english...

I spoke with the airline but I was interested in the "pilot" view...

but thank you very much...

dear bagso, we know very well qfe and qnh, and we also know how to spell it.usually we do it, having a very good dinner,with a very good glass of wine and looking beautiful girls in the sunshine...enjoy your sandwich and your beer.

hope all the uk colleagues are not like you

Dear Alex
Unfortunately I can not help with your questions with regards to Jet 2.
I also wanted to apologise for the response you had. Not all British people are like this and I try to treat people the way I would like to be treated. More often than not I have been working or training with different cultures and in different countries who generally have made me feel very welcome and have been very helpful.
I hope you have better experiences in future and wish you well in your job search.
P.s enjoy your wine and wx.

Strelnikov, what is the point of your post? Pprune is for people that want to share useful information, why do we have to waste time browsing posts like yours that do not add anything useful but simply insult another user?

Alemxp, would you mind me asking when you applied for this position?

Was in through their recent application for contract pilots via the web site, and when was your interview?

The reason i ask is that Jet2 informed me that there were no jobs available despite them advertising.

That would not surprise me, their HR admin is bad. I heard the other week that they have lost the details of their holding pools and offerred jobs to new candidates - now i imagine that won't please those who were waiting!!

Just seen that Eagle Aviation went insolvent a few days ago, another 757/767 operator bites the dust, is this type cursed or what?

The 757 rocks ... sadly it seems Scarebus are the choice of aircraft that the operators like. Fair enough, times move on.
It'd be a bummer if they did lose the hold pool info but who told you that?

As merely SLF I am sorry I can't help regarding Jet2 but may be of help in the housing area. I live north of M/C but work near the centre. I have lived in most parts of the city at one time or another over the past 35 years, got here aged 21, so have a feel for it. Like most cities it has good and bad parts. PM me and I will be happy to help.

As for my fellow Brits, I am not going to apologise for their arrogant and boorish posts (#3 & #4), they should do that. Enjoy the sunshine, wine & pretty girls while you can but there are a few things here that partially make up for our Northern European climate. Gimme a couple off weeks and I'll think of some.

Happy flying. Ciao.

HR have apparently been confirming it !

They have also had problems regarding their website application for jobs, its kept crashing and other applicants details kept on appearing!

al446,

How very dare you. Manchester is the Capital of the North, ask any Northerner

I'll also have you know, some of the prettiest girl's I've met were in Manchester - admitably it was at a European conference for beauty therapists, unfortunately the British contingency had to pull out due to a late development of measles!!!!!

As for the weather, please remember here in the UK we are blessed with the gulf stream which kisses our shores provinding endless Months of.......errrrrrrrr......... rain......ahhh!!! Don't you just love it!
We are particularly blessed in Manchester due to it's oragraphic position and predominantly Westerly winds, which provides us with let me think endless.....errrrrrrrr........RAIN!!!!

Never mind, every cloud....at least you can still get a pretty good bottle of wine (if you don't get mugged at the supermarket! harsh I know!)and we do have Sattelite TV in Manchester, so you could always sit back with your wine and watch the latest episode of 'Jaula de Lobos' - will give you a reminder of the Sun and pretty Italian girls at least!!!!

Wait a minute........big mistake by me, your going to be working for Jet2, sorry, no time for Soaps' or wine my friend, and don't even think about holidays!!!!!!!!

Good luck, many look towards Wilmslow for accomodation, others Didsbury, take your pick, just stay out of MossSide

See you on the line
