Anyone NTR in the hold pool been given offers recently?

Telephone interview was straightforward. Motivations for joining jet2.com and a query on recency. Email later in the day to confirm dates.

Talking to a mate, if I get through selection, it looks like I'll be on hold till September...if I pass selection.

Anyway, so far, so good.

Which Fleet?

I'm interested in applying NTR over the next year or so if they're still recruiting.

Can anyone let me know in terms of command, I'd imagine you'd have to go to LBA or MAN to get it. Does anyone know what the process if of transferring to a regional base? Namely NCL? Is it a matter of waiting lists, if so, how long do they tend to be or is it a case of upgrading in the base you're at as and when there's a vacancy & you pass the course?.

Hi all,

Do you advice to apply even if I'm available the first of April 2018 to start working?
Ready for TR beginning of march 2018.

They should recruit for 2017 since the ad is "2017 Pilot intake"?...
Any infos appreciated!

Council Van. Thanks for the information, much appreciated.

The recommendations seem to work in my experience, I put two people forward this year (one for the apprenticeship and the other as DEFO) and both got through to the sim stage. I was pleasantly surprised as the DEFO candidate would undoubtanly have been too old in my previous company to get through the initial screening. They say apply again in 12 months but i don't know how stringent they are in that regard.

One would have expected JFP to have jumped in to answer this one a long time ago. It appears that his 'social media wings' may have been clipped after his fairly recent disclosure of company confidential info! They don't take prisoners there!

Still here Trossie, no trimmed wings for me.

To answer the question, the increment for TRE on top of line pilot is about £22k per year I think. Life is always busy, I would say I average 10 days sim per month, some months I do more, some months I do a lot less.

One of the key benefits is that you aren't restricted to leave in the busy summer period, providing it is available then you can have what you want.

Took about 2 hours to get approval 'from above' for that one!

Why no earlier answer to the direct question?

How little you know.....

Is it really up to me to answer everything? No reason at all.

Give it a rest man.

The question, which was addressed to no-one in particular, has been answered.

You have a beef with Jet2. We get it. We wish we didn't .

I've found another Thread where people easily take the bait! The "Social Media" one was an easy target for the wooden-spoon treatment as it is such a touchy subject with so many employers, the actual employer involved is irrelevant. And the bait was taken! (The choice of beef, lamb or pork is irrelevant.)

You really should get out more!

Good grief, grow up.

...anyway, back to the thread.

Does anyone have any info on the requirements to make SFO and the pay increase that might follow? I'm also interested in info regarding training FO. I understand that FOs can be asked to deliver groundschool training and I have a passion for that sort of thing.

Thank you. All getting very exciting: selection day soon.

You need 6 months post final line check which in reality means about a year from joining, a minimum of 1500 factored hours and be approved by the SFO selection board, which in turn means being a good egg, not breaking any expensive aeroplanes, passing sim checks and not inviting crewing to have sex with themselves when they call you off standby. These things get noticed.

You get (roughly) an extra 6 grand PA and another stripe plus a nice letter/email from the grown ups.

As for training, depends on prior experience but generally a year or more in the company so they get to know you, then apply when positions are advertised. You also have to pass the selection board of course but as the ATO grows there are opportunities.

Good luck with selection, its a pretty good number IMHO.

Many thanks Zedibee.

Hello all,

Having entered the hold pool for NTR FO a couple of weeks ago, does anyone have any sort of indication or experience of how long the wait could be?

Thanks!

Congratulations. Hope to join you in about 10 days' time. The rumour I've heard is that slots are filled till September. Might be base dependent, though.
