Still a great company though!

Seems to have been more of a who you know rather than what you know recruitment process? At least it's the only job application I've seen asking you who you knew within the company!

Does anyone know, if having been successful through the entire process and being informed as such - this will lead to being offered a position at Jet2, or this success merely adds you to a holding pool with no date of employment offer forthcoming? I'm hearing the holding pool option is now most likely?.

You certainly can’t put a time length on it. Many people pass the process but score less than others and aren’t called. It’s a harsh but true fact. I know several people that passed and never joined. If you do above average in the assessments and you are the right seat, base, aircraft, person you may be called.

Further email today from Jet2 following a June application for NTRFO, "to confirm that your application is still live and under consideration". Also stating that "we anticipate a very busy Summer ’23 season and continue our growth of both Boeing and Airbus Fleets of Aircraft, meaning there remain significant opportunities to join us as we grow
Here's hoping.

Can anyone shed some light? PM if not wanting to be public.
