Was this on Flightglobal or the Parc website itself. Have they been unable to get the required people from the recruitment drive?
How many got offers and how many have accepted a place?

Jet2 really need to stop cocking people around and let them know where they stand. Interviews in November now that its January are well over due a reply, whether it's a yes or a no.
Anyway good luck to all those concerned.

Your assertion of retaining dignity is a little sweeping to say the least. Its a matter of horses for courses.
My mortgage is paid and kids have fled the nest. I have no need (or desire) to work full time and Jet 2 don't need pilots lounging at home in the winter months on full pay. I dare say that there are many more like me out there too. On the contrary it is nice to have an option such as this, 58% work for 70% pay gets my vote.
Good luck to all who are still waiting for news.

I'm not involved in Jet2 recruitment, and only a minion, but the DFO told us in December that they would be using agencies for some of the crewing needs, as was done a few years ago. In addition we are also recruiting for permanent and contract positions directly.
One additional 757 is coming and 2 737s. However, obtaining the second 737 was proving difficult, so maybe the actual fleet numbers are in question, but I'm just guessing.

PM is very particular about his aircraft, if it isn't spot on he won't acquire it. So there may be lot's of 737-300s out there, but if it isn't the right hull at the right price then forget it.
For those joining next year on whatever contract welcome, I think you will find it a satisfying place to work.
It's not perfect, but give me imperfect and paid any day of the week! I have been her just over 4 years and am very happy.

Not sure why you would need to ask that. If he is ex RAF so what?
Anyway being particular about aircraft is one thing but there certainly is no shortage of hulls out there.
The real issue here is that the guys and gals already interviewed deserve either a yes/no or a bit of feedback to let them know why the delay.
Come on Jet2! A bit of feedback for the potential troops please, good CRM and all that.
Please don't emulate the pikey from Dublin with poor comms

Yes but Ryanair do not leave anyone wait that long for an answer. Be it for command positions or cadet. The "pikey" he refers to I am presuming he means MOL, is not from Dublin he is from W.M.

PM is ex-RAF.
I met him in Kent many years ago when he was flying a red Jaeger sponsored Pitts (helped him man-handle it into the hangar on several occasions).
If my memory serves me correctly he flew Hunters in the RAF. He left, became British Aerobatic Champion and flew airshows in the Pitts during the 70s.
I know we had a good laugh at the tales he told in the bar and he used to stay in the clubhouse bunking down with the rest of us (in his own bunk I hasten to add!!!).
He seemed a great bloke - this was before his motoring and aviation exploits so I have no personal knowledge of the PM of today.

Something to do with general condition, but also floor spars, plumbing and all that gubbins. Apparently quite a few are set up for legacy carriers, and it is quite an expense to convert to a low cost cabin layout.

The industry is truly in a terrible state with people are queuing up to sign up for a "permanant" position which leaves them unpaid for 3 months of the year!
Seeing as Willie brought Ryanair into this I'd like to remind people of a thread regarding unpaid leave at Ryanair last winter. Up to 1 month unpaid was proposed however it worked out at 1 week unpaid at 2 bases. This spawned 20 pages of outrage with responses such as:
"Madness. RYR have dragged this industry to the depths. They force every one else to follow them down. "
and
"The sort of fools who lap up the 'any job is better than no job at all' guff probably also believe that Gordon Brown is now the saviour of the world economy. The term gullible just doesn't do these morons justice. If Ryanair could fill its cockpits with these spineless tits (as opposed to the 60% we already have) then our pay would be considerably worse than it already is. There would be no lower limit to what these types would accept rather than confront the issue of erosion of their pay and conditions."
And when a couple of posters suggested there was little they could do about it and a month's unpaid leave was better than no job at all they received:
"The best way for you to assist progress (if thats what you really want) would be to crawl off somewhere and die."
and
"In a word, filth. You make me sick."
That was all down to one week unpaid, all very emotive but I guess that's Ryanair for you. Possibly the only response worth reading in that thread was a rather prophetic one from a poster called Gnirren:
"The real issue to watch out for is that companies want their employees to be contractors. It's a bean counter's wetdream, nothing but contractors to bring in and dismiss according to business needs. Job and income security for the crew? Gone. This will happen in many more so called "good" airlines in the coming years."
It feels like the first step towards our jobs becoming seasonal with Jet2 leading the way.....

Pineapples, I fear your deduction is correct. We are all on a slippery slope (snow pun not intended )
I guess that Jet2 will let everyone know as they see fit. Patience is a virtue afterall, so I'm told..
