ALC
 

Which type do you think ALC base will have next year?

Concerns about the website
 

I applied via the website about a week ago. I have heard nothing , not even an acknowledgement. I am 737 type-rated and uk based.
It took me about 15 or so attempts to get through to the relevant part of the website. It kept telling me that the 'service selected not available' or similar. It sure was hard work getting through and registering my details on this site. Is this normal?

re:Concerns about the website
 

It took me 3 attempts to register all info they wanted,I found their save as draft function not to work for me,in the end did all info/attachments in one sitting.Got emails confirming straight away after that.

Nightstop - The -300 is the most likely for ALC

8eyes - Would suggest dropping them an email or calling them to make sure they received your application. Might also be good to pass on to them the fact that the website isn't working properly.

JET2.COM
 

Hello everyone!!!

I WOULD LOVE TO GET A JOB WITH JET2.COM. However, my JAA ratings (IR/ME) are not valid. Although, the license is valid and I can renew it anytime. The only reason I didn't so was the money. At present I am flying with an ICAO license in Asia. I have more than 1000 hours total time and experience in both turboprop and jet.

Do you guys think is it a big problem to be hired after this inconvenient?

Will appreciate a lot your feedback. Thanks a lot!

Good luck to all of YOU! :)

With about 2,000 applicants with current ratings and with far more hours I would say you don't stand a chance, but then that's only my opinion. All you can do is apply and see what happens.

Our 757s are like George, the Blue Peter tortoise (a rather elderly creature who hibernates during the winter). Indeed, you are more likely to see a pig flying than a Jet2 757 during November to March!

If the figures are anything like those that Daddy-Oh has posted, I daresay recruitment has started early on that fleet due to the limited number of available training sectors during the winter?

Hmmm....will see the next prog

Anybody had a interview or phone call yet?

Just out of interest, for a new joiner non type rated FO with 5000-6000hrs including wide body, how long would it be for command?

Trigger it would depend on which fleet you went on & your abilities. Jet2 is a Meritocracy not a Seniority based Democracy.

No interview yet, but my application has gone from "application received" to "under review".

I have no idea if that is a good sign, or an ominous one.

Obviously, I hope it is a good development.

What category are you in NR?

'Seniority' has nothing at all to do with democracy, but is actually a 'tyranny of the seniors'.

Well done to Jet2 if they don't use that antiquated system but use meritocracy instead! Trigger, it looks as if your experience would count, unlike in a 'seniority based' tyranny where it wouldn't count a jot and you would be as relevant to the organisation as the cadet straight out of flying school!

(Apologies for butting in on this thread, but this is one of my favourite 'hobby horses'!!)

Thanks Narrow Runway
 

I hope that's good news.
I still am on application received.... I too hope this is good.

You'd need at least two sim checks with command potential indicated before you'd be able to go for command assessment. So at least 6 months.

I don't think the two sim check thing is a condition now, although you need 6 months in company post Final line Check before you can apply so you'll have two sims under your belt anyway.

Trigger - I have the criteria in front of me.. They are:

3000 factorised hours
Unfrozen ATPL
6 months/first OPC post FLC
A minimum of 6 months and 300 FLT hours with the company post FLC on type

It's a great company to work for, i'm thoroughly happy to have made the move! Big expansion for the next few years so your likely to get the base you want within a year or so. Rumours are most of the expansion is happening at EMA and GLA for next year. Also, 757 going to ACE for this winter (12 DE Commands and 24 DE FO on 75 fleet) and ALC staying open for winter too.

Nice. But will they really get the numbers for the LHS. Truthfully RHS positions are a lot easier to fill. I guess there comes a cut off point regarding experience v required need.

Thanks

My application is still " received "

Non type rated FO 4000hours +

Anyone else "received " or "under review" ?

Good luck

Type rated F/O mines is still under review for the last three weeks...

Fingers crossed :)
