I would like to come back to the UK. I have a 757 rating and 1500 hours on type. I am an Airbus Captain currently, but I can't be bothered to fill out the application and assist the charming Mr Meeson (who I had the misfortune to sit next to at dinner 10 years ago) in degrading our profession further.

It's all gone quiet!!!!
Had a phone interview a couple of weeks ago and heard nothing since!
Does anyone have an update on what is happening and/or feedback from the assessment day last Friday?
Apparently Jet2 were keen to get things moving quickly!

Firestorm the question is this...
Was you successful? Could no news be good news?
The thing I find a bit odd is the person who interviewed me said they was helping out due to HR being too busy... Seems there was no rush after all!
Everytime the phone rings I jump out my skin and I think my iPhone will need a new battery after it's over as I must check my emails 10 times a day!!!!!!
Let's see what happens.....

Bad manners?
How many people do you think HR have to deal with this influx of applications? How many applicants would you imagine they have? These all have to be sorted out, people apply for posts they are not qualified for E.G. Application for 757 rated position by 737 qualified pilot, this has to be processed and if HR are feeling kind moved to the correct place. On top of this people without the correct licences apply and swell the workload, despite all the posts on here from people who are very swift to knock the company, a great number have applied and do wish to become part of Jet2.
The airline is not being bad mannered, the HR and Pilot Managment staff involved with this also have to continue with the day job.

M0.76 I was unsuccessful as it happens. I'm not sure how disappointed I was, but not hugely by then.
4S: I think that sorting applications, arranging interviews, and informing people of the outcome is probably a pretty large part of the "day job" for an HR office. I was told at the interview to expect a decision after ten days to two weeks. It's a bit like the pilots not doing the PAs to the passengers because they were getting on with the "day job" of conducting the flight. PAs to the passengers are very much part of that "day job."

Anyone who 'doesn't make it' getting into Jet2 shouldn't worry as RYR,EZY & BMI are starting to haemorrage crews as the Gulf carriers & BA gobble them up!
T's&C's are going to have to be greatly enhanced at Jet2.com if they are to compete with RYR,EZY,BMI,BA & the Gulf companies for the dwindling numbers of qualified & experienced crews, or indeed, retaining the ones they already have.....
Be ready, prepared & be flexible as the cyclic gathering storm of Pilot Recruitment may be approaching & I hope it will be a feeding frenzy of job offers, counter-offers, sweetners & 'Golden Hello's'.
The accountants & bean counters have had their feast... now it's our turn. Exciting times ahead.

Perhaps Daddy-Oh however, EZY, Ryanair and BMi hiring will tend to favour those with A320 and 737NG TR's first.
After than it will probably go to time on jets, turboprop guys, integrated high achievers and modular bods last. Sorry to be devils advocate and maybe stick a pin in the bubble of a recently qualified CPL/IR 250 hour hero reading this.
The aircraft type most affected in the past 3 years of downturn has been the 75/76, through mergers and bankruptcy's. It's these guys who are primarily getting these snide 7 month contracts from TCX and Jet2.
I fear the false recovery we're in just now won't bite until the interest rates rise to combat inflation in the next few years, that will then affect most people's largest outgoing, their mortgage. Granted it won't rise as steeply as it descended (0.5% a month, every month - winter 2008).
When that happens the public tend to cut out luxuries (some regard a holiday as a necessity now, however many do not) and we pilots who also have to keep our repayments on time, resulting in the bean counters still calling the shots for a while yet in my opinion. Late 2012/early 2013 - this is if the Mayan's got their prophecy of the end of the world wrong.
Jet2 seem to do this out of the traditional hiring periods it would appear to see the strength in the marketplace. It gives the HR department a chance to update their databases and top up the hold pool and the bean counters an idea of when they may have to increase the terms and conditions based on the calibre and experience level of those applying.

Glasgow base announced
Jet2.com Lands at Glasgow Airport With Nine
Destinations and 150 New Jobs
Jet2.com, the leading leisure airline with friendly low fares, launches eighth base at
Glasgow Airport
Jet2.com, the leading leisure airline with friendly low fares, has today (14 September)
unveiled Glasgow Airport as its eighth and newest base, bringing substantial investment to
the region including 150 new jobs and nine low fare destinations.
Jet2.com is set to deliver its highly successful low fare model at Glasgow which has seen
the airline launch and grow its existing seven UK bases since its inception in early 2003, to
date serving a total of 20 million people and 50 destinations across Europe and as far afield
as New York.
Jet2.com will offer the region’s only direct service to Nice, as well as direct low fare flights
to Alicante, Dalaman, Faro, Tunisia, Majorca, Paphos, Sharm el Sheikh and
Tenerife. Jet2.com’s sister company package holiday specialist, Jet2holidays, will also
offer great value package holidays to these great destinations from Glasgow. Flights are on
sale now from just £36.99 one way including taxes with ATOL protected package holidays
available from £199 per person for 7 nights and will commence operating from March 2011.
As well as giving the travelling public in Glasgow and the West of Scotland even more value
and choice when travelling from the region, the expansion will bring considerable
investment to the area with the creation of 150 new jobs directly with Jet2.com and also in
supporting industries.
One 757 and one 737 aircraft will be based at Glasgow from the launch in March 2011. Both
aircraft will feature Jet2.com’s brand new look interiors and ergonomically designed
seating which has been specially commissioned to make the in-seat experience more
comfortable and accommodating, whilst saving weight and therefore using less fuel.
Ian Doubtfire, Managing Director of Jet2.com, said: “We are thrilled to be launching at
Glasgow Airport and feel that the region will benefit considerably from our friendly low fare
service and the resulting investment into the area. It has been a turbulent time for the
travel industry with some airlines and operators ceasing to trade this year. In contrast, we
have continued to go from strength to strength - including the launch of a new base at East
Midland’s Airport this time last year and significant growth from our existing airport bases.

'The aircraft type most affected in the past 3 years of downturn has been the 75/76' - there is still contract work available for these. The real dead-ends are probably Fokkers and Avro RJ/146 and I'm almost at a dead-end myself.
