Negative response
I was told over the phone "not successful" a week after assessment day. An email followed that up. I was asked to reapply July next year. No reason given and I thought I did Ok, but I told them I needed 100% contract and a local base so maybe that did it for them!

Anyone heard any more about jet2 issuing the contracts for the mid oct people who'd been called last week and offered something?
Think they were meant to be posted out last week, has anyone received anything yet or heard more about when they will be issued?
Talk of HR approval and a couple of issues around some of the contract details that needed signed off from above..............

TLBird the vintage that Astraeus use is mostly in icelandic use they have a couple flying around and about I believe their 500 was flying out of BOH during the summer for Bath travel/Palmair. The agency listing is for J2 as I have a colleague pursuing that avenue.
As I believe someone has already said it is not a 70% contract and not employed by J2 but instead a self employment contract for the summer months on 100% pay.
When I spoke to HR midweek they indicated these contracts were waiting to be signed off and supposedly were being sent out in a couple of days. Hope this is the case as I am putting off declining another offer subject to their paperwork arriving.

The longer things are drawn out from the mid-October interviews and another batch of already type rated happening this week, I reckon they'll reassess and compile a new list. This will undoubtedly push some out who would have initially been given the thumbs up.
And no, no call as yet or to anyone I exchanged my details with on the day.

Hi,
I am sure I have said before that I belive it is working on a sliding scale with "cadets" paying the full whack to experienced TR paying nothing and only having a small line training bond; and then all stations between for others.
Regards

Type rated and experienced pilots were interviewed on Thursday (11th). Mixed nationalities, some crew there from Viking. About 10 candidates present. Presentation was good. Interviewers were pleasant and seemed happy enough. It was certainly at odds with all the horrendous reports that abound on Pprune.
It appeared that certainly 20, and maybe 40, were interviewed that day!!
Don't know how many vacancies there are?
No timescale was mentioned for either start dates or even interview results.
Don't know what else to say. I'm waiting to see if I was successful. I gather there is another stage to go yet. If offered a place I believe you are then subjected to online testing to further whittle down the numbers.
Oh well, I'm not going to pester them. I need a job like everybody else but am getting fed up of the struggle............. Online testing after doing the job already for 15 years??
If i'm lucky I will be successful. If not I think it's time to file away the flying papers and go back to my previous discipline.
Best of luck to everybody.
