Gazing into my crystal ball I see new horizons - a move North - maybe a new base?

Having witnessed at first hand the shrewdness of PM (and knowing of his past connections with a late Northern airline) I wonder if all this seemingly unprecendented recruiting isn't part of a masterplan that will only now be apparent?

FOK. Only time will tell, and all of a sudden the veils of mist will clear... I had the interview a few weeks ago, and have had no further contact since. Maybe (to jump on the pilot's bandwagon of baseless conjecture) they want to take over the aircraft and crews that have just become available in a territorial land grab to the North, whilst making a bid towards the Midlands, and to execute the well known cuckoo manoevre by throwing a baby out with the bathwater in the West Midlands. Check mate to Jet Two, and world domination here we come!

Phone call with job offer. Fixed term contract feb - oct. Offer letter in the post which needs responding to within 2 weeks. No sign of a permanent part-time position :(

congrats
 

Seat/base/type?

Well, I suppose it is better than a kick in the bollocks.

And is that still for 70% pay? If so 9 months at 70% pay is actually a pro-rata decrease in pay - ie. work 75% of the year for 70% pay!

At interview I was told it would be 80% pay for 7 months work....employers market I guess :(

Hopefully it wont be an employers market for too long.

FO, MAN, 737. Not entirely sure of the salary but there's a letter in the post confirming it.

How many guys have recieved news regarding Jet2 with an offer or a rejection for either fleet? Were people due to be informed by now? Seems only one so far for the 737. Well done on getting a place in the current market.:ok: Are there still plans to recruit more crew for next year etc?

I've had the same response as speedy688 (phone call yesterday) , and am also 73 FO manchester.

Can somebody put the JET 2 salaries on here? Thanks in anticipation...

Penworth, have you also been offered a fixed term contract, feb - oct?

Yeah fixed term contract is what's been mentioned. Remains to be seen what the salary is like. If its 70% of the salary on ppjn, and then only for 8 months a year, its not going to be pretty......

I’m waiting for the paperwork to come through!

I thought the salary options were:

• 70% salary on the permanent employment offers, with summer working only.
• Pro-rata salary for fixed term contract – that being you receive a full salary plus the sector and per-diems each month, but you are only employed for 7 or so months of the year.

From what I can gather, it’s only fixed term contracts being offered just now. If the offer is 70% salary for a fixed term contract, times are going to be very tough indeed.

Let’s see what drops through the door eh?

Ps – RHINO, Jet2 salaries are on their website……

Has anyone else been contacted by Jet2 regarding news and offers. Did the 757 recruitment not take place. Seems it's just the 737 guys getting phone calls.

I don't quite see your point, Flyingbird999.

with regards to hours, I've been informed me that Jet2 were looking at a long term recruitment plan and looking for fairly low hours FO's in order to fill the demographic effectively as it is top heavy with FO's that have a potential for command in 3-4 years and after they were promoted it would leave a void.

So I'm not sure if they were looking for experienced pilots only.

Has the selection been done by each individual fleet? When will the 757 guys that were interviewed find out if they have got an offer.

I am one of the B757 guys who had the interview and completed all online tests and I called HR today. Apparently they are not yet in the position to offer anything for whatever reason so I am in a holding pool, I assume with all other 757 drivers?

It was acknowledged that only a few have been offered a contract. It could be that they are unsure about how many crew are needed or...??

more patience then...

Scratchingthesky,

Fair point however I am also B767 qualified with ETOPS experience under my belt and surely this will also be the case of others who have been through the interview.
