Gazing into my crystal ball I see new horizons - a move North - maybe a new base?
Having witnessed at first hand the shrewdness of PM (and knowing of his past connections with a late Northern airline) I wonder if all this seemingly unprecendented recruiting isn't part of a masterplan that will only now be apparent?

FOK. Only time will tell, and all of a sudden the veils of mist will clear... I had the interview a few weeks ago, and have had no further contact since. Maybe (to jump on the pilot's bandwagon of baseless conjecture) they want to take over the aircraft and crews that have just become available in a territorial land grab to the North, whilst making a bid towards the Midlands, and to execute the well known cuckoo manoevre by throwing a baby out with the bathwater in the West Midlands. Check mate to Jet Two, and world domination here we come!

And is that still for 70% pay? If so 9 months at 70% pay is actually a pro-rata decrease in pay - ie. work 75% of the year for 70% pay!
At interview I was told it would be 80% pay for 7 months work....employers market I guess

How many guys have recieved news regarding Jet2 with an offer or a rejection for either fleet? Were people due to be informed by now? Seems only one so far for the 737. Well done on getting a place in the current market. Are there still plans to recruit more crew for next year etc?

Yeah fixed term contract is what's been mentioned. Remains to be seen what the salary is like. If its 70% of the salary on ppjn, and then only for 8 months a year, its not going to be pretty......

I’m waiting for the paperwork to come through!
I thought the salary options were:
Let’s see what drops through the door eh?

Ps – RHINO, Jet2 salaries are on their website……
I thought the salary options were:
- 70% salary on the permanent employment offers, with summer working only.
- Pro-rata salary for fixed term contract – that being you receive a full salary plus the sector and per-diems each month, but you are only employed for 7 or so months of the year.

with regards to hours, I've been informed me that Jet2 were looking at a long term recruitment plan and looking for fairly low hours FO's in order to fill the demographic effectively as it is top heavy with FO's that have a potential for command in 3-4 years and after they were promoted it would leave a void.
So I'm not sure if they were looking for experienced pilots only.

I am one of the B757 guys who had the interview and completed all online tests and I called HR today. Apparently they are not yet in the position to offer anything for whatever reason so I am in a holding pool, I assume with all other 757 drivers?
It was acknowledged that only a few have been offered a contract. It could be that they are unsure about how many crew are needed or...??
more patience then...

Scratchingthesky,
Fair point however I am also B767 qualified with ETOPS experience under my belt and surely this will also be the case of others who have been through the interview.
