Did you stop to think about that?
To say no thanks but no can't be that hard and should not take months.
However we shall respectfully and patiently wait.

Yep many uk airlines recruiting and my experience is that they tend to operate in a similarly disrespectful manner. I blame social media. All airlines want to play the "keep options open" so rather than have a closing date and notification period, they just play dumb. Then if the first guys selected pull out, they can move to the next lot. And with BA in full flow, this will happen more often than not.
I was offered a bunch days to interview for Jet2 . They seem to think we can just come up with a day or two off roster like that.
We dont all sit around on our a$$es all winter , most of us are full roster.
Helps me think what i have now, id be daft to give up . Thank you J2 , Ryan and ThomasC.

Ah just read this threat for the first time, applied ages ago. Profile says my application is still under review (so assume I passed the online tests), also got the email about 2 months ago saying I should hear from them in approx 4 weeks.
Does anyone know what's happening at Jet2 with regards to recruitment? is there still any chance this year?
Does application still under review = PFO?

My application still shows under-review.
Applied shortly after opening, attended an open day and got all the usual comms. Had the same issues last year, 5 months to get a PFO so not holding my breath this time around.
Looking for NTR FO. 2500 TP in the book and I live within walking distance of a Scottish base. We'll see, but...
I suspect I'm far from alone.

Hi guys,
I will tell you my experience with Jet2 and my opinion.
I applied, I filled up their forms and submitted all documents they required. After that, I did the ridiculous psico test. After a month I recieved the "now famous" mail telling me that in four weeks I would get an answer from them. Time passed, and finally almost eight weeks later, I got an email from jet2 telling me they decided not to continue to the next step with my application. Maybe those stupid tests were not so ridiculous...
or perhaps my profile didn't match, or who knows... My flight experience is more than 4000 hours, near 3000 of medium jet and some other from heavy turboprop. All as a First officer.
In my opinion they should explain better (or some) what they are really looking for. They want you to apply, to spend too much time in front of the computer filling up their forms and subimitting documents etc, but they don't say a
about what they really want or how the process is. They should consider your life and what means to accept a new job, in case they say yes.
I apologise for my languange buy I had a bad week...
Good luck to those who are accepted and accept the job. Maybe you can show some light for future candidates.

For me I applied for NTR FO. Have 1600 ish hours on a A320. Did the tests, found the maths a bit tricky and the psycho test (all 220 questions). Still showing as under review. In the end I didn't get to go to one of their open days.

Guys - Scratching has mentioned it, why are you queuing to join this company?
There are better options now in the UK, with Northern bases too! Most of this recruitment is down to how many pilots have left/leaving - does this not ring any bells!!?!
Unless you need a job/live next to a J2 base (and job satisfaction not required due other interests!), that is all its good for! Worst T&C's, even worse culture...

Honiley, I'm afraid that you're incorrect.
The answer to your first question is most likely because they can and because they want to and is also likely to be none of your business. I'm pretty sure most people are sensible enough to ignore the bitter ramblings of a has been and do some research when they're making career choices and in the end the decision is theirs to make.
The answer to your second question is yes, it does ring some bells (a phrase which means "sounds familiar" by the way). It is reminiscent of what happens at every other airline in the world. People leave, people join and it's a perpetual cycle with peaks and troughs. I'd hazard a guess that your poorly constructed, grammatically incorrect bovine faecal matter won't stop it.
How long is it since you left anyway? You're thoroughly out of the loop and irrelevant chap.
Ta ta.

By the way Manchester is not a Northern base to many of us!

Ah Honiley dear chap. Nice to see you have rediscovered your sense of humour, even if it is only a sense.
By your admission you do not, and never have, worked for Jet2 and yet you seem free and easy with your disparaging comments about the company and individuals employed there, all the while skulking under your cloak of anonymity. Such behaviour does little to endear you to others, and does even less to improve the image of the pilot profession within the industry. But then again you just don't care who you upset do you, just as you do little to verify facts before spreading your own brand of misinformation and negativity?
Never fear chaps. Air Honiley will soon be along, promising life changing T's&C's whilst cocking a snoop at the pesky ne'er-do-well's who condemn the business model as doomed to failure. Honiley will show all those incompetent airline CEO's how it should be done. All aboard the fantasy bus.

I got an email today stating that they have had huge levels of interest in recruitment. The email did make is clear that they are actively recruiting still and positions are still available.

As ive stated before, there is a huge exodus of easa , cashed up pilots from the gulf airlines. Many left the UK/ Europe 15-20 years ago. They can work for pocket money. No mortgage. Huge global experience.
Whats not to like ?
Still , i cant understand the need for continued full page ads in Flight by J2.
Unless they bought the space in bulk , not expecting much interest ...

Does anyone know what deal NTR FOs are being / been offered most recently? Read this undated "GEN" on PPJN
:
Now only offering 100% contract with 3 year reducing bond. Reduced contract available on request.
This is far better than, 4 months half pay while training then 70% for a year.
Thanks
