I didn't get the telephone call

I am TR on the 737 with 1600+hrs, i have not recieved any news + or - only a confirmation email of my original application. As you say it would appear they are targeting either low hours or experienced Non-TR at the moment, they'll make more money that way!!!

Cheers

[Johnny F@rt Pants]

They'll make more money that way

Maybe it's that non type rated joiners will take considerably longer to get on line than those with a type rating. Therefore non type rated joiners will be recruited first to start their way through the system, those with type ratings can start later in the winter and still be on line ready for the peak summer flying season.

Chaps, am I missing something here...

They state for direct entry FO:

A minimum of 1,000 flying hours, of which 500 hours must be medium military or commercial flying on rotary or fixed wing turboprop or turbo jet aircraft

Yet guys are applying with piston time only? Has the above requirement been revised?

[Go Smoke]

Sorry to hear that; would you mind sharing your experience ie how far had you got? Paper sift, telephone interview etc?...

JL

First round I'm afraid. No telephone interview.

If you look on the Jet2 website they are recruiting 5 categories of plilot including "Inexperienced co-pilots"

To be considered for this role you must have:

• Written & verbal fluency in English to level 6
• A frozen ATPL
• MCC
• Jet orientation course
• A valid Class One Medical
• A valid passport with no restrictions
• The right to live and work in the EU without restriction

Apply and be damned CV. I would expect that they mean a Dash 8 or ATR sort of turbo prop, but they might not, and they might really be looking for a level of automation that traditionally didn't exist in lighter turbo-props, but now exits in VLJs the size of a small family car. Put your application in, and let someone else decide how to proceed.

Following on from the terms and conditions above relating to the 70% deal, does anyboody have an idea on the total flying hours that we could expect during those 7 months?

Are Jet2 planning to use up the 900 hours in that period of time? In which case, we couldn't get another contract job anyway...?!?

Thanks
George

[Penworth]

Based on this summer, didn't really start flying properly until May, hence only 6 months, done about 75 hours per month, so about 450 hours, so to answer your question, no they're not.

How could you do 900 hours in seven months? the limit is 100 in 28 days.

Good morning to everybody.I want to ask you, How much time did you wait until you received some information or the phone call from the HR department?I just applied around 2 weeks ago, but still nothing from them.Only the email from the website telling me that my application was sent.Can somebody tell me something new?Thank's a lot Best regards

[captgeorgekajo]

thanks for the info Hans. i didn't know that.

Is anyone on the 70% contract now that can let us know how many hours you do?

[Northern Highflyer]

To all those low hour bods that have received a telephone interview, do you all have a JOC as stated in the requirements or has anyone had a call without one ?

[fastjet45]

Hello all

Had the phone interview all ok, next interview for non type rated direct entry Captain 757 booked for this Friday.

I cancelled it as they wont give out much info over the phone other than it will most probably be for a 70% contract and you pay for the type rating.

Sorry but not that desperate.

Hours 10000+

Hmmmm. I know this is a rumour network but folks seem to have different ideas about the pay for TR or the possibility of a bond.

Can't really afford to live on 70% myself but would still go for interview on the off chance that something happens and the full-time one got offered. Other vague rumours about BA maybe starting up sooner than expected on these forums too...(not wishing to stir things up too much)...

[fade to grey]

seems they favour ex-mil with TR or not, is the brass at J2 ex mil ?

[San Expiry]

Well, I hope it wasn't my phone manner that brought the selection process to a grinding halt at the phone interview stage but rather a couple of the questions I replied 'no' to which were........no, I would not relocate my family (to wherever) and no, I would not pay for a type rating (plus a 'rather not' when the 70% was mentioned although apparently, the whole contract package on offer hasn't been finalised yet, it says here).

So, as an earlier poster suggested, live in a Jet2 backyard and express your willingness to shell out for a TR. I had rather hoped that jet2 might just have raised its game above the levels of the other LCCs.

I'd be interested to know whether any who said 'no' to paying for the rating are going on to the face-to-face bit. BTW, email saying 'no thanks' was launched within minutes of coming off the phone - I was that good.

Of course, if everyone said 'no' to the TR then they'd have to rethink the gameplan. I don't say this from the luxury of being in a job; longish time unemployed, now.

Well done San Expiry.....i admire your strong will!!!
