correct. However you only get through to the sim if you pass their metrics of the interview and group exercise. View is NTR DEC is tailed back.

Thanks
Do you do yhe full cut e tests? Or is it just the personality questionnaire?

Yes I was very surprised to get called forward for interview, wasn't expecting it at all to be honest. A very pleasant surprise though

the online tests are pretty basic , from memory it’s flying through a tunnel with shapes to avoid / an ATC listening thing / a multi action task (basic maths ) and the personality questions which they use the results from to generate questions for the interview .
might have been some other things but nothing that difficult

Unfortunately had my assessment as NTR FO back in October but have hardly heard anything since, I have about 2500 hours and currently with a Scottish regional however have decided to start pursuing other jobs as think this hold pool is more aimed at 2024 than anything more for 2023 possibly. Disappointed in the lack of comms after going too so much effort and cost for the assessment yet they are still advertising for more recruitment

Thank you

Very much appreciated

I know many people in a similar situation. A call to say they've passed and then radio silence for months and months.

Their lack of comms to people is what's rather unfortunate. As you say it costs a fortune to go and attend these assessment days with hotels, fuel, flights all involved. It costs nothing to send an update email to those in the hold pool.

Is it possibly because of base preference?

I wouldn’t think so, they pick the right candidate and asign base that’s best fit. If it’s not your first choice they do well getting people to their preferred base.

Some communication would have been appreciated or updates about anticipated start dates, maybe too much to ask. Start date received now relatively quickly for British Airways and kept informed along the way shame didn’t work out

mid you don’t mind me asking what was your base preference?

BHX EMA or similar would have been first choices

Apparently the ATO has to sign off on some paperwork before the thumbs up. Don’t forget like every other airline, the internal comms will be sub par, they are massively recruiting, upgrades and have a military culture overload in many management areas, hence the snail pace. They will loose out on good folk going to BA/DHL/TUI

Hi Everyone,
I have a Jet2 assessment coming up for DEC. Looking for feedback on group exercises, interview questions and sim. I would be grateful if you could PM me, or reply to this message.

Many Thanks,

At any of the recent assessments have they been saying how long it is until offer of employment? Presuming it will depend on fleet / base etc. Are they currently recruiting for the summer or is it more of a long term plan?

Anyone had any start dates lately, all seems to have gone rather quiet guessing with summer approaching.

Heard from another candidate they were told no capacity for anyone requiring base training but I haven’t been told this personally. Not sure how long they expect people to keep swimming for, anyone else in the hold pool have any updates for FO positions?

Type rated Pilots will be prioritised due to being less training resource intensive at this critical time. Rated guys from last weeks assessments already have contracts and start dates for a June OCC.

Yes completely understand that, good to hear they are still actively recruiting aswell. Just when you have applied for a role in June 2022 been through assessment and passed and now fast approaching a year down the line seems a bit of a waste of everyone’s time. Happy enough where I am for just now hopefully get a call over next few months 🙏 wonder how many waiting for start dates now and still advertising for more

If anyone could share some feedback/pointers on the assessment day/757 sim profile it would be much appreciated. Whether on here or thorough PM. Thanks in advance and best of luck to everyone.
