Where have you got the information that they requires a JOC that consists of 16 hours sim time?

I found out from Jet 2 HR that you need 16 hours.

Thanks for that Shifty, I don't suppose you asked anymore about it did you? Specifically if they will even consider your application without one and if they are interested make an offer on condition of one being completed prior to commencing a type rating etc

My post 676 from last year

From the low houred guys the applications were in the thousands and probably are again. The holding of a JOC or not will just be one criteria among many used to reduce the number of applicants for an assessment day from thousands to less than a hundred.

All the best

I said I would pay for a JOC if I was successful. Didn't work, currently applications cannot be considered if you don't have a JOC. :sad:

Jet2 Aptitude tests
 

Hi,

Has anyone had an assessment day with Jet2 recently? Particularly in relation to the aptitude tests?

JOC course

Serious? Is this a requirement for everyone, or just low hours non TR applicants?

Tech interview/Q's

Anyone know if there are technical q's in the interview? Or an ATPL-style paper?

JOC needed for low hour non-TR guys.

As for the OAA link for low hour applicants, not sure Jet2 HR would open the floodgates for all to apply if they only intended to take OAA grads - they'd just have gone straight to OAA. But nothing would surprise me.

With the thousands of applicants they've no doubt received they may decide just to look at OAA or similar integrated grads just to save trawling through all the applications.

Just a heads up for you... I just received a phone call from HR at Jet2 for my low hours application.

Thanks for the update, when did you put your application in?

Probably around a month ago.

Mod or Int?
 

Kieran,

Congratulations on the call, good luck.

Would you mind disclosing whether you are intergrated or Modular and if Int, are you from OAA?

Thanks

I'm integrated from OAA. Finished in July 2011.

Thanks Kieran, Good luck.

An early sign that it doesn't look good for non OAA or Modular guys then :sad:

JOC
 

Magicmick is (as far as I am willing to hedge my bets) correct and very true in his advice of not going out to 'buy' a JOC rating

4400TT for me with about 3500 on 73's and 700 on Airbus. I was modular back in the day, i'm not holding out either.....:ugh:

Have you completed a joc Kieran and if so how many hours in the sim did you do on it?

Yes. I did it as part of my integrated course at Oxford. I have a total of 36 hours in the 737 sim.

OAA do not have sole rights to supply pilots with low hours, we take modular and integrated graduates. The standard of both varies a great deal, as does that of the ex service pilots; all are looked at and assessed.

Lots of complaints about JOC courses...

I understand that it is not nice if you have to pay for it yourself, but when I came out of flight training and straight onto the 737, it made the transition from ME pistons to a jet a lot smoother.

Oh and don't know about ATPL questions - I didn't get any...
