I've not heard either way from Jet2.
Not exactly keeping to the "we'll let you know in 2 weeks" parting shot.
Disappointed, I felt they were a good company and would have been good to work for. First impressions can be wrong.

Guys,
I fully understand and sympathise with your frustrations. Jet2 have restructred most areas in-line with rapid growth, so much so, some departments are probably playing catch up. Not perfect, and not an excuse, but probably one of the reasons why a reply is taking so long - along with commercial requirements.....
Hopefully when the dust settles and requirements etc are set in stone you will be told either way. If it's any concilation a new Air Crew Manager has been appointed who I'm sure will be dealing with this type of thing. It took me over 6 Months from Interview to starting, and that was a few years ago. Be patient, we are a great company to work for (in my opinion), not perfect, but show me a company that is.
Good Luck

Anticipation is the name of the game.
They must have known they would be inundated with applications in the present economic climate - and been prepared for it.
It strikes me as being somewhat heartless to advertise in such a manner and then not have the courtesy to reply.
Many pilots and their families are in dire straits and to ignore people just adds to the misery.

A friend of mine applied back in November 2009 - 4,000 hours including 1,200 on the B737-300 and NG and local to MAN.
He heard nothing so decided to update his online application in the hope that it might engender renewed interest on the part of Jet2.com.
He was surprised to discover that his e-mail address was no longer recognised and his application apparently deleted.
It seems Jet2.com have binned him off with not so much as a 'thank you for your application'.

Theres a pinky coloured 76 at EMA with a G-CE?? reg. I'm reliably informed that it's destined for Jet2
I don't think your B762 stands a chance, as the idea is to have two B763s
The first JET2 B763 is the following:
B767-328(ER) Registration PR-VAN from VARIG
Any bets on the zecond one!

Evening all,
You may or may not be right about what is going to Jet2.
Could one of you informed chaps explain where they will be flying to and perhaps more importantly when? There are no L/Haul destinations for sale in winter 2010/11. I don't know what the lead in time is for selling these holidays but would imagine its not short.
Invested interest......
Safe flying.

Congratulations on your appointment! With the extra aircraft coming, the chances of a 100% contract looks good. Hope it works out for you and everyone else too.
Yes, an identical model would be the ideal situation but the B767-328(ER) is a rare bird. Only AF ordered them and only 6. They took 3 and did not take up 2, which went to Royal Brunei. The sixth one was never built and may never be built. As far as I can see there is only one about that may be available and VARIG doezn't have it.

In the old days brochures for the winter season were issued in May, don't know what happens now. Today, with the Internet as the main source of supporting media, the long haul programme could come sooner than May or could be left for later.
The other possibility, due again to the Internet, is that there could be a mid or late summer launch of a long haul programme if the market demand is there and there might well be enough time to sell it with a time gap of 3 to 4 months. One B763 is confirmed, so it won't be long arriving and now it would be a question of how soon the second B763 is acquired. In any case a long haul programme could be launched anytime once they have both airframes confirmed.
No idea what destinations are planned but the logical ones are a combination of Carribean Islands, Florida and the Cruises. This represents a good concentration of resorts/attractions within a small area to get the variety to attract the punters and fill the planes.

I heard that the MD's newsletter said something about applying for a 767 to be added to the Airlines AOC but I didn't know we've got one!
Is this actually official and have we been informed about bases or routes or training etc.................?
Appolgies for mentioning this on a recruitment thread.

The 767's are cancelled as of a couple of days ago. The guys who joined better get used to long Level 2s on the 757 with a bottle of Harrogate Spa for company.
Still, at least a summer job will keep the wolves from the door and hopefully the market will pick up! Good luck to the new starters.
