Is PPJN dead?

Is the job pool PPJN dead. When I open the website there are no job updates since the 2th of november.
Anyone knows what has happened with PPJN?

PPJN updates are dependent on people sharing information. And quite honestly we've become a bit pathetic compared to 10 years ago in this regard. We keep our cards close to our chests not sharing the latest recruitment news or Ts and Cs even when it doesn't impact our own opportunities.

Having said that, the site owner does not update sometimes for months at a time. Eventually you will see a bulk update of many airlines happening at the same time.

Jethro's moved to his own server. Update your bookmarks:

Looks like the website is down now.

Sad day,

Quite frustrating indeed, this website was of great help
Do we know why it is down ?

I have built websites before
If PPJN is not coming back, I can try making a new one providing the same service, if that is of interest to anyone ?

pilotbase.com are doing this right now. It's been a few months in the making. I think the PPJN owner might have advised them ahead of time (feels like it)

It's a shame, ppjn is offline and there's no backup for it? Had a look at pilotbase, but it's not offering the full database as PPJN. Lots of valuable info on it, eventhough not always updated. Any web gurus able to rebuild the same? Perhaps the moderator of pprune can add a section where pilots can share info concerning TC's? tia

I have had a look into pilotbase, you have to register to see the salary info and it is not organized as well as it could be

I will start building a new website tomorrow, similar to PJN with few design improvements
Should be able to make it online by Wednesday, I will keep you posted

I've been using PPJN since it was launched. With all due respect, 50-60% of what was posted on PPJN was either emotionally charged nonsense or 7+ years old. PPJN gave the illusion it had a lot of current and up to date information but it was mostly out of date and/or inaccurate given the many different types of contracts and agency employers. To create the platform/website is the easy part. Getting people to hand over information is the hard part. Good luck though! If the pilotbase.com guy is reading this I agree with the above. He will likely fail in his mission too if he's expecting people to register prior to divulging confidential details about what's in their contract. Even PPJN's anonymous posting platform couldn't achieve this in recent years.

Thanks RogueOne, This helps al lot. Do you see any chance to keep this alive and going in a different format for the pilot community? If I were a web guru i would offer to rebuild the databasa, but unfortunately not.

cockpitdoor is on it I think. But for now, the waybackmachine has archived salaries etc which is useful.

The beauty of PPJN was that it was a text based list. Easy to navigate, no complicated menus.. a Ronseal website

Yes still working on it gents, took a bit of delay with recent events, but it will be up at some point this weekend

We can definitely source back some data through wayback machine. Although for many airlines, info were missing or dated, so I would rather not automate this process and deal with this on an individual airline basis

I will add a very simple airline info submission form, so people can engage easily and share data with no wasting of time

Is the new PPJN (pilotbase) paying options only?
