Well, LGW base is a strong rumour for the next 2-3 years. Slot availability is an issue, as we’d need critical mass to make it viable. We already have a 737 Winter flying program there Oct-Mar.
As for the Airbus, there’s a delay in deliveries, meaning current airframes are training aircraft with line Pilots just keeping current.
I’m trying to create positive vibes for this idea to the universe/management, for personal reasons.

Are you getting confused between rumours, which you have read or heard somewhere, and facts, which you are not privy to?
I often wonder why you spend so much time commenting about an airline you were rejected from, it's a bit sad. Move on, maybe get a hobby.

Well I’m just keeping the dream alive.
Given the Winter ops we already have there, it’s not a huge leap. Plenty of FD live around the area so wouldn’t be an issue to crew.

If LGW is the dream, just go to BA Euroflyer.

Ha ha, was on the cards at one point… but too much hard work for too little reward, no thanks. Horses for courses.

Three of the rumours you mention are just silly speculations by internet users. One of the rumours actually has very serious substance to it based on cost savings, future fleet renewal and flexibility of crew at the largest base. Watch this space.

For example, I hope 737 jockey didn’t join Jet2 on the back of “strong rumours” of a LGW base spouted around on here - or worse, false promises from management.
The fact that you bite every time is just a little bonus.

Actually, by dispelling most of the nonsense that your lot spew out on this forum, I’m contributing significant balance to the thread for those considering making big and often irreversible career moves.

Don’t worry about me Boss, I joined with eyes wide open. I got my first base preference and LGW would just be a bonus due to being a bit closer to home and avoid the dreaded Dartford crossing, I suspect there are quite a number of others who feel the same.
Jet 2 is great. Company, people, conditions and frankly, workload, albeit with busy Summers! I have very little to complain about, and would recommend it for anyone who enjoys short haul and being in your own bed each night, and not flying 700/800/900 hours a year. That’s just my experience and thoughts so far, as always, it’s horses for courses.

You're not just a sad, disaffected Jet2 reject endlessly trolling the Jet2 threads because you weren't good enough to be employed by an airline you hold in such contempt.You do realise what the 'R' in PPRuNe stands for...don't you?

You don’t seem to like the taste of the medicine that you so often dish out yourself.
Grow up for goodness sake.

On the contrary I offer my opinion or fact. I do not actively deny or refute actual facts about anything I have no knowledge of. Unlike certain posters who have been rejected by Jet2 who have gone all...sulky.

Worked for Jet2 for 6 years. Great airline and a fantastic way to conclude my flying career. No agenda, no points scoring over other airlines which I know have their pros and cons. Very down to earth company in line with the oop North roots. Just my opinion of course.

Anyone had any update or offers come through since passing assessments lately ? I've had an email asking for base confirmation and notice period but think it is pretty generic. From what I hear, they are pretty maxed out on the training front 
Good times for the industry as a whole just now!
