FOs at my airline have heard back within 2-3 working days with potential interview dates. For captains, it seems to vary. This is for 737 rated.

Recruitment for the summer now complete. Year round recruitment taking place for expansion, I'd assume targeting 320 rated folk. Rumours of a new Liverpool base being announced imminently.

They can't get the Airbus to MAN and BHX as quick as they were planning, so STN unlikely until the deliveries ramp up in 2024. And even then they'll likely want to focus on MAN where they really need the bigger aircraft due to the stand shortage.

Anyone struggled with comms from J2 recently? Informed I passed the assessment a couple weeks ago but had no phone call regarding base/contract since whereas I know some who got the contract the day after being told they passed. Sent an email last week but heard nothing back so just trying to get a feel for the avg turnaround time getting the contract.

don’t think it’s anything to worry about usually the ones that take a couple of weeks is training etc sorting out places on courses etc they should respond to you email might just take few days, oh to be rated! Congratulations passing!

Looking at the figures on PPJN, Jet2 seem to be blowing the likes of easyJet/Ryanair/BA EF out of the water on pay. Approaching legacy carrier pay levels for SFOs. Is anyone within the airline concerned as to the sustainability of this going forward? An ex colleague there has spoken about another payrise coming at the end of the summer in order to attract airbus talent away from easyJet at MAN.

I think I’d be more concerned if I was (had the misfortune) to be a Ryanair U.K. manager, looking at the amount of RYR 737 drivers Jet2 are hoovering up at the moment. I think Jet2 have been quick off the mark to spot the shortage of qualified/experienced Pilots that are both licenced, and have the right to live/work in the U.K. given the expansion plans, and the recruitment at many other U.K. carriers. IMHO, Jet2 will need a better, probably fixed roster to attract significant numbers of easyJet pilots away from Planet Orange, as the financial package is pretty similar between the two.

The more pay rises J2 give out the better it is for the rest of us too! RYR are being left far, far behind in the U.K. and the likes of BA VA are going to have to increase their package to stay ahead of J2.
