I went all the way up to Leeds for assessment.
Passed day 1 and was advised to wait for a date for day 2.
NTR DEC. Applied for 737, but have had previously flown 757 (a long time earlier).
Got 2 emails inviting me to attend a last minute cancellation sim (literally next day), which I couldn't attend due to short notice.
I explained that I needed a bit more notice, due to the long haul nature of my job. A nice HR manager called me a few days later and said that they were still interested and would be in touch.
Then, I never heard another thing.
In the end, I withdrew my application, mainly because I got tired of seeing adverts for contractors.
Shame, I would have very much liked to have joined, but as it turns out I have a far better rewarded, less hassle and less flying UK based job now.
Perhaps airlines should start to realise there is not actually a huge pool of unemployed captains waiting for a job in the north of England?
C'est la vie.

I've got the job alert set up on their website, just incase.

I know about 12 DEC non TR that have recently started or are shortly starting and a few F/O's too. All have no med or bigger jet experience.
Most candidates did their assessments/sim last summer and then heard almost nothing for months (some over 6 months) and then had a job offer.
With that in mind, if you have been assessed and heard nothing at all it's well worth keeping your application going and not withdrawing it.

How totally predictably standard /unprofessional "aviation" this whole outfit seems.
Heard a lot of bad bad stories about their HR Dept, I guess they are also in charge of recruitment.
Standard, need you at an interview tomorrow morning , then. . . . 6mths later "could you perhaps share how it went, please ? "
Piss-up in /Brewery/Organise a . . . . (rearrange)
If we pilots were as professional as the other lackies employed in the offices there would be no aircraft left to fly after the 1st week.
I suppose it won't stop them crucifying the poor
that planted it in FNC though

I understand it's still ongoing! I know a few with start dates who have better offers now!
I gave it a look, I'm 757 - T&C's not that great but seems a happy, friendly place to be - but obvious it works for those who are from/live around the NCL, LBA, and MAN bases only, commute a total miserable existence! And a winter of endless standbys...
Think I'll stick to Rubber Dog...

Dear A and C
You really must get rid of the angst inside you. You failed at the Jet2 recruitment stage. We know that. But your continuous bashing of them is sooooooo boring. Move on with your life. Rejoice in your newfound nirvana. But the sooner you get rid of the bitterness at being rejected by Jet2 the better for your own mental health sake.
