What's the chances of a BFS base you think? 👍🏻

[DooblerChina]

BFS not a main base, I think it's crewed by Canadians. I'd be amazed if this changes in the near future.

[Chesty Morgan]

BFS is a main base. Never seen a Candian there either!

What about the time to command on the 757?

Depends on how many hours/experience you have when you join. The 757 fleet don't do many hours over the year, the majority of their hours come from June to September, great if you aren't bothered about building hours, not so good if you need to gain hours for command upgrade. The 737 do about double the hours than the 757, so if you join at the same time it will be roughly twice as long to command.

Bizarre. To those hopefuls seeking useful facts, the above is not true.....in any way.

I assume this is some kind of (very) private joke

I think Doobler is mistaking this thread with the Thomson one!

[Chirpy Pilot]

Was looking at a Direct Entry command with them but appear to have hit a brick wall with
weight of aircraft of command time. (E170)

Sorry for the above comment, wrong thread!!!

Anyone been to the Non TR FO assessment day recently? Any tips on the day would be gratefully recieved!

Apparently it is a group exercise, competancy based interview, followed by a 757 sim assessment if successful (I have the profile).

Many thanks.

Anyone got any tips for making the benchmark pass rate for there online tests?

feel free to PM me.

[Honest Fr@nk]

Ask a your local, friendly Maths and English teachers round for the evening.

[fa2fi]

It's a long time since I did it. The maths test wasn't anything to horrendous but don't spend 20 minutes on one questions. If you're not getting a sensible answer just move on and just be yourself when it comes to the personality test and don't try and trick it or answer it how you think they want you to answer it. And the verbal reasoning is very much a matter or RTFQ and RTFA ;-). Pick the most right answer! Good luck.

70% contract

Hi fellow pilots,

Whats the 70% contract like? Are there any part Time contracts that would allow commuting to europe?

Thanks for your inputs

A Jet2 skipper based and living somewhere like BFS would be significantly better off than any BA skipper living in the SE of England when you factor in cost of living. Jet2 seems a nice little number for some.

Horses for courses!

That explains why BA have lost so many experienced FO's and Captains to Jet2 recently. Oh...wait, that's not right.....

Maybe they believe their own press too much...

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to locate updated information about the online assessment for Jet2! I don't know what to study for or what to expect. People say it is relatively straight forward, but it might not be for me ! Ha. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Don't hesitate to PM me.

Thank you very much !
