no punk i dont see why people pay to fly.enlighten me please?if jet2 had an endless supply of people like you willing to pay to fly then why oh why would they ever hire and PAY an f/o to fly.these pay to fly schemes only contribute to destroying the career you wish to join.think long and hard about pay to fly schemes:ugh:

In the current climate, 500hrs on type is nothing. The 737 employment market is saturated by guys with 10 times that experience. You can waste more money towards a SSTR/Line experience but the risks are even greated in the current climate. Be sensible and try get into SEP/MEP work, preferably something that can aid in keeping your IR valid and current until the market moves again.

Called for interview with 3500TT, 3300 on the 737.

I have the impression that so far only B737 guys have been called for interview. What about any B757 drivers??

I applied 11 days ago for the B757 with B752/763ER experience, no news yet...

Has anyone who is non type rated been invited for a interview?

Mister G,

I thought this round of recruitment was for type rated only, or have I completely missed the point?

H

My only reason for asking is that you can apply on-line, even if you are non rated.

Mister G,

I did wonder about that. I assumed it would mean automatic rejection if you weren't type rated.

H

9000hrs TT
5500hrs Jet (2000hrs 733 command)
6000hrs Efis

..............and no response:{

Perhaps but it is a bit odd since you could not apply for anything a month or so ago and now you can regardless of if you are rated or not.

I can understand why people are getting excited, especially those who are out of a job at the moment, whether 19 years old or if you have a lot of 737 hours. Wow - Jet2 are hiring when all other airlines are cutting costs and laying off?! Has anyone stopped to think how/why?

Pilots will only be hired on max 80% pay for 7 months work. Brilliant you think! Well, what are you going to do for the other 5 months of the year to pay the mortgage? This is just another cynical way of reducing Ts&Cs for pilots and I am ashamed to be working for an outfit that is stooping so low. Management are trying to hire new pilots on these contracts instead of paying for fleet transfers and promotions. This is going to cause a lot of tension.

Bring on BALPA and good luck to anyone joining us on these terms because you'll need it:

Lowest Jet salary in the industry PLUS no holiday during the summer, no anual pay rise, no health insurance.

Paperlad??? what are you even doing here man ???
should'nt you be heading east somewhere?:}

Very good Q,

The answer is, me being of a certain age, something to do with family: ageing parents, one child at Uni, one child at Highschool and wifey in a stable job. Why would I leave the UK just to fly, except to promote a divorce or other upset.

:eek: Hhhmmm, maybe I'll stay where I am then....

So for FO £35,700 x 0.8 x 0.6 = £17,136 pA basic?

I thought the latest round of recruitment is for permanent employment, and if opted for part-time employment you take two months unpaid in the winter months?

Im also type rated 1500 TT just under 1300 737 and no response. Competition is very very tough!!

Interesting why the larger experience type guys didn't get a look in! Quite a few FO's from my airline applied due to the threat of redundancy, all of them will be 3500-4000TT with inexcess of 2000 hours on B757/B767 and B737, most of them with both types!

All of them got the same 'Nowt' email!

I applied, havent got a No or Yes..
wthhhhh
:bored:

I too havn't heard.......I applied 10 days ago, is no news good news?
