What a shame that it didn't suit. All I might say with regards to your "complaint" is that when the advert was created all bases might well have been available, however slots fill up and by the time you got there your choice if base had been filled. Jet2 like to have their guys n gals at their preferred home base, so I'm sure that your move away would have been only temporary and you would have been home sooner that you think, particularly with the current expansion plans.

I attended their interviews recently and had a loverly hour long tour of their "call centre".
Then some loverly instant coffee in the corridor.
Then a loverly big room with a group excersise about walking on the moon.
Then a loverly video on how well they love their " customers" , the cream of the north I'm sure.
Then i was offered their loverly 70% contract , and was on my way home.
I have several videos of their psychometric and aptitude tests that i took when i applied online . Including all the 120 personality questions. If anyone is interested i will upload to you tube for your viewing pleasure 😜

Yes thanks, a nice fat pay rise, extra bits and pieces offered, home base with mostly shortish days and a rostering team that always seem happy to help me out.

I'm very happy thank you. I've had 5 flights this month and have 5 next month. Had a pay rise this month too! When I do fly, I'm home every night, so no complaints here.
I'd agree that the rostering/crewing teams are helpful whenever I've had to make requests outside of the bidding system.
Don't get me wrong, I know that the summer is coming and it's going to be pretty busy and probably painful for 3-4 months. The winter slow down more than makes up for it in my opinion.

With everyone here talking of little flying and a recent chat I had with a CP who did one (!) day of flying in January and who had 12 rostered days off this month (no leave or anything, just rostered days off), do you ever worry that the music may suddenly stop one day? It can't be an efficient way to run the business. Will this be sustainable when the new aircraft start coming in? It wouldn't make business sense to have them (and their crew) sat idle for months at a time with the mortgage to pay on the airframe.

I think he's just disappointed that we seem to be content and he couldn't get in.
I didn't think it would be long before these two to showed up with their usual spiteful behaviour.
