B757/767.
:ok:

So, can anyone tell me if Jet2 Have actually aquired any 767's yet, there are lots of rumours going around, but nothing concrete.....will they be Manchester based, and where will they be flying too.....thanks

No and the Bases for the 2x76 will be Manchester and Newcastle. Leeds has too many perf issues.

HFS:ok:

Is it just me who hasn't had a yes or no yet since interview? Are Jet2 really still interviewing... still? :ugh:

Theres a pinky coloured 76 at EMA with a G-CE?? reg. I'm reliably informed that it's destined for Jet2

I've not heard either way from Jet2.

Not exactly keeping to the "we'll let you know in 2 weeks" parting shot.

Disappointed, I felt they were a good company and would have been good to work for. First impressions can be wrong.

Interviewed beginning of November 09. Heard not a squeak since.

Don't care any more.

Jet2; lost any respect I had, as they can't even be arsed to let the people know where they stand.

This industry has gone down the toilet, and I really couldn't give two :mad: anymore.

Guys,

I fully understand and sympathise with your frustrations. Jet2 have restructred most areas in-line with rapid growth, so much so, some departments are probably playing catch up. Not perfect, and not an excuse, but probably one of the reasons why a reply is taking so long - along with commercial requirements.....

Hopefully when the dust settles and requirements etc are set in stone you will be told either way. If it's any concilation a new Air Crew Manager has been appointed who I'm sure will be dealing with this type of thing. It took me over 6 Months from Interview to starting, and that was a few years ago. Be patient, we are a great company to work for (in my opinion), not perfect, but show me a company that is.

Good Luck:ok:

Anticipation is the name of the game.

They must have known they would be inundated with applications in the present economic climate - and been prepared for it.

It strikes me as being somewhat heartless to advertise in such a manner and then not have the courtesy to reply.

Many pilots and their families are in dire straits and to ignore people just adds to the misery.

FOK

A friend of mine applied back in November 2009 - 4,000 hours including 1,200 on the B737-300 and NG and local to MAN.

He heard nothing so decided to update his online application in the hope that it might engender renewed interest on the part of Jet2.com.

He was surprised to discover that his e-mail address was no longer recognised and his application apparently deleted.

It seems Jet2.com have binned him off with not so much as a 'thank you for your application'.

SITW :)

I should imagine it will be an Ex-Varig sister aircraft. Jet2 need the commonality between the two.

Evening all,

You may or may not be right about what is going to Jet2.

Could one of you informed chaps explain where they will be flying to and perhaps more importantly when? There are no L/Haul destinations for sale in winter 2010/11. I don't know what the lead in time is for selling these holidays but would imagine its not short.

Invested interest......

Safe flying.

Congratulations on your appointment! With the extra aircraft coming, the chances of a 100% contract looks good. Hope it works out for you and everyone else too.
Yes, an identical model would be the ideal situation but the B767-328(ER) is a rare bird. Only AF ordered them and only 6. They took 3 and did not take up 2, which went to Royal Brunei. The sixth one was never built and may never be built. As far as I can see there is only one about that may be available and VARIG doezn't have it.

K:
In the old days brochures for the winter season were issued in May, don't know what happens now. Today, with the Internet as the main source of supporting media, the long haul programme could come sooner than May or could be left for later.

The other possibility, due again to the Internet, is that there could be a mid or late summer launch of a long haul programme if the market demand is there and there might well be enough time to sell it with a time gap of 3 to 4 months. One B763 is confirmed, so it won't be long arriving and now it would be a question of how soon the second B763 is acquired. In any case a long haul programme could be launched anytime once they have both airframes confirmed.

No idea what destinations are planned but the logical ones are a combination of Carribean Islands, Florida and the Cruises. This represents a good concentration of resorts/attractions within a small area to get the variety to attract the punters and fill the planes.

737 and 75/76 guys still looking - PM me and I'll give you contact details for something that might be of interest.....if you are willing to move that is...?

CP

The rumour mill is running at full plelt about the B763, engineers on courses, etc.

Until I have a cup of coffee in the cup holder and am doing the walkround..........we'll wait and see!! :ok:

The 767's are cancelled as of a couple of days ago. The guys who joined better get used to long Level 2s on the 757 with a bottle of Harrogate Spa for company.

Still, at least a summer job will keep the wolves from the door and hopefully the market will pick up! Good luck to the new starters.
