If you think your quality life will improve for you and your family by moving to the desert, you are very misguided. Your quality of life will be the first thing to go south.

Why do you think so many people are leaving here to get back home? Many of my colleagues have gone to Jet2 & Ryanair to improve their quality of life. Flydubai has lost over 50 pilots by August this year, overtaking the 48 that resigned for the whole of 2014. Emirates is also haemorrhaging pilots too, all for the same reasons.

Don't be fooled by the tax free salary either. Rent here is astronomical, fuel has just increased by 25% in one hit, VAT is just around the corner and the list goes on and on.

My advice is just be careful what you wish for.

@ Turbopropman

Be careful what you put on PPRUNE. Banging your head against a wall after a comment of what you got and when it would not be difficult to work out who you are and drop your application if it offended someone!

I'd be editing that if your after joining

That's not a get lost though is it? From experience that can mean you never hear anything again or you get a call soon for interview so chin up. Keep monitoring your application status as a change can be good news too.

Hey Guys!

I have a question regarding the requirements for the NTR FO position.

Does anybody know if 500 flying time on any AC + experience on a medium to heavy jet are required OR 500 flying time + experience on a medium heavy jet are required?

Thanks!

[zerotohero]

I had to read your post 3 times. Did you not ask the same thing twice?

[worldoffe]

Hey, yeah I know its a bit confusing.

No, I was asking two different things actually regarding the requirements.

A) 500 hours on any aircraft + experience on a medium to heavy jet

or

B) 500hrs + experience on a medium to heavy jet

After reading the job ad again, I think A is required

Greetings

Lets not assume, but I would guess that CaptKilo could well be on a certain final salary pension scheme, to supplement his J2 crumbs

[worldoffe]

Can anyone working for jet2 tell me more about the present situation / demand for NTR FOs?

Thank you

[mini-jumbo]

There is a demand for FO's NTR or TR.

It's going to be a busy winter for training.

Went to one of their open-days, apparently TR/experienced/DEPs took the front seats in the recruitment process. What I have been told is that they are now going thru the NTR applications so everyone shall expect an answer within 4 weeks from the day they received the "application under review" email.

Best luck

Hello, anybody of the applicants did the online assesment ?? (Numerical reasoning , verbal reasoning, personality test )
It is a part of application or you should wait a responce before do it ?
They just write me that my application is under consideration.

Thanks

Couple of Questions...

Just have a couple of questions if anyone currently at Jet2 could help with....

Im a rated FO with about 2500 hrs, I'm looking at coming over.

How long could I expect to spend in the RHS?

There is a mention on PPJN re Command Assessments and why people are leaving...
"For FO it is because an unhealthy percentage of 64% of command assessments are failed"

36 out of 100 seems like a lot of guys not meeting the mark, is this true?
And if so can you expect support and a structured process to get you up to the required standard?

Many Thanks
