CP 1 (737), FO 2 - both Airbus. I have no idea whether those pilots wishing to change base requiring a fleet change would go immediately or just wait for the Airbus to arrive at said base?

I am surprised how relatively short the base transfer list is, so must assume that the vast majority get their first base preference on joining, or within a year or so. perhaps a lot of the Airbus pilots in BHX and MAN are either happy there, or waiting for more deliveries to arrive at other bases before making their request. EDI is the next base for Airbus I believe.

I'll quickly jump on the bandwagon here if I may...

Any idea for BRS? Thanks

Interviewed and Sim passed early Jan. NTR. Have had the email saying I passed but no phone call. Hoping to hear soon (ish) but who knows :) Happy to be waiting for a call none the less!

How long after the sim assessment do people usually hear whether it's a yes or no?

Just wondering how accurate the latest PPJN update is. Is it true most are on permanent lates and the lifestyle options are not really working out? If only 12.5% of pilots are able to express a preference for earlies or lates, I guess a new entrant can expect a 5/2 roster with the majority of flights being deep nights, landing around 4am?

Have to love Jet2, a landing day now counts as a day off. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time after your 3rd night Dalaman.

Not sure that’s correct. If you land after 0400 the rest of that day is a DRP - duty rest period. As en example, one week last Summer I did 4 days on, but just 2 days work - PFO DRP LCA DRP… :cool: Even when landing prior to 0400, I had DRP’s too.

With Canaries, Turkey, Cyprus flights etc. it’s easy to burn through the hours meaning that on lates you tend to have less actual working days. A lot of earlies are shorter; Balearics, FAO, AGP etc. which have been utilised as training flights to save trainers hours. Winter is soooooo quiet though :ok:

Correct.

The options are:

1. Work earlies and daytime flying but work harder.
2. Work late nights but less hours per month.
3. Have a mix of the two.

Traditionally training has been on earlies, but going forward trainers are able to bid for late flights instead.

As said, Jet2 is all about hard work in the summer and quiet winters. Nothing will change anytime soon as it’s a holiday company. Trainers will work hard all year for obvious reasons, but you can apply for part time once in the company.
