I'd say the lack of roster complaints is down to the significant improvement in the rostering and the increased crew to aeroplane ratio that we have had this year. There has generally been significantly less roster disruption this year than last year

Oh yeah, four days of recurrent training at your own base. Torture.
Still, that's about a grand a day that month.

They are looking for people that they think will stay with them long term.. Most likely if you have family ties to the North of England then it will help.. It's a local airline for local people

So, are any none locals in the running still or is it just people with ties to the north. I'm still in the running but no doubt my application status will turn to PFO soon.
Good luck to all of you guys still in the running and congrats to those who've been successful. I hope it works our for you.

I agree with you fullforward. I wasn't entirely serious with my comment but it does have some truth. Google 'the league of gentlemen' and you'll understand what I meant..

2.5 years ago I went through selection, even completing a sim check with positive responses from the aircrew conducting the check. Only to spend 2 years in the holding pool. Only to receive a PFO just before this round of recruitment. This year I didn't even get an interview. I had a "you should hear in 4 weeks email" some 2 months ago. And that was the only communication since I applied in July. They really do a good job at making applying a painful drawn out experience.
You see the same complaints about recruiting year after year. Does nobody at Jet2 recruitment see any need to improve the system?

I've been applying for 4 years. I complained about the drawn out process you refer to (quite rightly) at a recent roadshow and I wasn't the only one. They will have good people turning their backs because they simply get fed up with the system.

Still waiting to hear back from them? Then you might take their full page advertisement in Flight International this week as a slap in the face!
Been like this for years. What a bunch of amateurs.
