It is Live

I just completed my App, using the link they put on the email sent to me advising it was open.

I had done the flightglobal application the other day and received an email from Jet2 advising to apply again today, but as you say this morning it wasnt open.

However, later on today I received an email advising you could now apply.

Afraid to say that I got an Email back within a few seconds of clicking 'Submit'...

You still can't get to the recruitment pages from the main Jet2 pages though; I only got onto them through the links kindly posted on here earlier.

While this might not be the most up-to-date information, there is a bit about pay here that appears to have been updated quite recently...

Is anyone re applying within the last 12 months?
As the application say anyone who has must wait until 12 Months has passed. I didnt get selected for interview last time.... so I just clicked no just to be able to send my application in. Did anyone else do the same?

Here's the things though, I just can't figure out if Jet2 have some big expansion masterplan that they haven't told their employees about yet or if they are just dicking us all around here. I can understand recruiting more guys on 70% deals to cover attrition and the S11 flying program, but they're looking for guys to start in October. As was mentioned previously, there's a load of guys already on 70% contracts who would love to go full time and the company is actively trying to push its full time employees onto part time contracts so why recruit for winter? Even if its not type rated folks they're taking on, they are going to be on the line well before next summer, and they can hardly be offered a 70% contract starting in, say, January 2011, so what am i missing here?

Sector pay

Thanks for that Junta Leader.
Yes I had seen the PPJN stuff but was hoping for a bit more detail such as number if expected sectors and average rate. Up to £20 could mean a very wide variation.

But thanks again for the reply. SB

Yep, I'd love to know that as well. All this talk of 70% contracts is interesting and, based on their timetable, the route structure does seem a bit 'thin' over the winter.

Well done Jet2. Nice to see a civilised recruitment process where all the facts are given and each candidate will be afforded the respect they deserve. I think that any candidate can rest assured that, if they make an application, they will be treated fairly and amicably and I would not feel disgruntled in any way if I didn't make the grade

Couldn't agree more Herc,I was just thinking that myself.There seems to be a lot of unfriendliness around between employers and employees at the mo,and I think it's unnecessary,unfair and makes a mockery of the "Our staff are our greatest asset" etc statements that get banded about on websites and literature.I don't know if it originates from the outdated theory that the best productive environment is a hostile one or a general gloating that it's currently an employers market,but it's certainly there and unpleasant.The Jet2 process is such a refreshing change and I think the respect will be mutual,and will reflect in the delicate balance between successful expansion and a sham.This might seem a bit over the top but in my opinion something "feels right" about this development.I think Easjet made a big mistake not maximising on BA's problems,it was such a lost opportunity,with passengers just waiting for efficiency,respect and service.Maybe Jet2 can step up to the mark?

Could someone in the know please outline the current situation at Jet2 with regards to the 70% contracts (whats the deal with that?) and how many people they have/need and on which fleet? Thanks.

I think the only way to get answers regarding contracts/number of pilots required/bases etc. is to apply and go through selection. Jet2 pilots certainly aren't privy to the big picture and anything said would be speculation.

I can say that the last round of pilot recruitment was for either temporary contracts (finishing end of Oct subject to extension) or permanent part time contracts (full time summer & off in winter for 70% salary). I don't know of anyone having been taken on for permanent full time contracts recently.

I spoke to HR yesterday as I applied in Oct last year but got no further than a confirmation of my application. They said that they were only interested in those who had applied in the last 6 months and that I should apply again.
