Taxi driver. I suspect you are over analysing the situation. Like any company that has got lots more applicants than positions they are taking their time to be thorough and ensure that they select the best people for their company. That process takes some time if you have lots of applicants and wish the process to be fair and transparent. Patience is required, all will become clear in the end. Bear in mind I applied in week 1 and got the same emails as everyone else promising contact in 3 weeks, and the first contact I had was on Friday. I am not concerned, just willing to let them run the process as they see fit, as after all, they are the employer and I am only a prospective employee. 😃

Wonder how many of the 'successful' candidates have some sort of in?
It's a crying shame that there's so many candidates on the market keen for such a tatty deal?
Still, Jet2 is a good stepping stone onto better things. Good luck guys

Nearly Man

Why is it a "tatty deal"?

I think that being a 100% captain in a base like, say NCL, would be a good lifestyle.

Am I missing something?

Tatty deal?

What on earth are you talking about. Looks decent to me. And far far better than easy jets offer.

Nearly man, with an attitude like that it is no surprise they are taking their time reviewing the candidates carefully.... Hopefully in order to weed out the selfish and the greedy in favour if those prepared to work hard for a decent salary who are prepared to contribute the the success of a stable profit making company, not just be in it for their own benefit.

True colours? Your attitude looks pretty poor to me.

Money is not everything in life and £80K per year to live near home and be home almost every night strikes me as a great work/life balance.... But what would I know I have only spent 25 years in the military deploying to lovely places like Iraq and Afghanistan for long periods away from my family.

Rioja and a load of crack I think. You need to lay off one or both or you'll give yourself a heart attack.
Firstly, what's you being in Iraq and Afghanistan got to do with cadet pilots at Jet2? I don't care if you got sent to the moon. Secondly, what's you leaving your family behind got to do with Jet2 cadet schemes?

I worked for Jet2 and liked my time there but I and others still there don't think the second officer scheme is a great deal for young pilots. It's a good airline to go onto better things unless you like living up north or being local to Leeds Bradford International?

If you disagree with giving a fair and decent start to cadet pilots then that's another matter?

What an aggressive little nearly man you are. No time for manners, no sense and no more of my time wasted on you.....

I agree, back to the thread.

Anybody been to the selection day yet? Is it the normal type of day, aptitude test, maths test, group exercises, followed by an interview?

Interviews in ALC

A friend of mine who is 737 rated has just been offered an interview with Jet2. He said it's next week, but in Alicante. Didn't know that Jet2 had a spanish base. Haven't seen them advertising this anywhere.

OK guys, at the risk of being accused of taking Crack, or drinking Rioja:

I've got an assessment day shortly for a DEC role.

Does anyone have any idea of interview style? I'm not worried about trying to find out the questions, more simply is it a "chat" or an evidence based interview?

Good luck to all.

DEC?

South Prince

Are you direct entry Captain or direct entry cadet?

If cadet, then I am sure they have not been able to deal with those applcations yet.My friend had a sim check only this Tuesday gone and that was for the first Officer NTR position.He is a Captain with another company.Rated on different Jet Aircraft.

They have a lot of people to look at.I think we may all hear in time.Patience is a virtue.Difficult as that is to learn....
