Or at least it does when I go to it!

So the web designers/ginger beers/route revenue analysts/management accountants etc get a competitive/excellent salary, and the pilot get what? No salary mention at all! Says it all about our industry these days. How much does it cost to get this job?

Hi Guys and Gals,

See on flight international Jet 2 are advertising for Captains, First Officers and Senior First Officers with various contracts and EXCELLENT BENIFITS. Firstly what are excellent benefits and secondly what is the starting salary for a senior first officer? Have terms and conditions improved at Jet 2 or is it the usual marketing ploy?

Keep trying folk, it is worth it.

papazulu, many thanks, that has cleared up the mystery of how to update my details after 2 months of trying!

Just out of interest this is a very popular thread so obviously lots of applications going in to Jet2. What is everyone elses backgrounds? Mine is 1300tt bizjets long/short haul. 950 jet but no airline experience.

Be interesting to see some other peoples.

Having applied in April following a conversation with the recruitment team, I tried to log on today to update my application and it has deleted my application due to a technical problem.

Wonderful, I guess its a sign.

Jet2 are an appalling outfit.

I can understand why the low-houred mob would join Jet2, but for anyone who is a family man, or who wants to be treated like a human, then forget it. Jet2 is simply not worth it.

Over the years the company has a history of horrendous examples of screwing flight crews. These are not one-off affairs, but an in-bred obsession which is now close to an art form.

I'm sure the Jet2 lovers will be along to defend the indefensible, but having lived through the hell of unreasonable buffoons and yes-men who only look out for themselves, I can assure you that my own personal experience, and that of my many colleagues, will highlight the fact that only the desperate need apply.

For those who are experienced, there are better things out there. In the recent last couple of years, Jet2 deluded themselves they were some airline of choice. Instead they were a port to shelter in the economic storm. The current numbers of flight crew who are applying to other airlines is significant. It tells you something when captains leave to take up F/O positions.

Derestrtictor

Everyone deserves a first hearing so on the assumption you are not a troll may I ask when did you leave?

My personal experience is unrecognisable from the one you have described.

Capts leaving to become FO's tells me the majors are now recruiting and that is where those individuals career aspirations lie.

No job is perfect and I agree there is room for improvement but it is a long way from being an appalling oufit.

I too am a family man and I came to the airlines after 22 yrs in the mil. We based ourselves oop north and 2 munchkins came along in my early 40's. I chose to fly short haul and live in a beautiful part of the world close to where I fly from for quality of life. At my age I also appreciate the career progression on offer in Jet2 compared to the majors.

Those are the facts as I see them, not a defense of the indefensible. I'd be very interested to know the facts behind your experience within the company to support your stance.

They are not perfect and can be at times "clumsy", but since i have joined i have on two occasions had acute medical family problems.

The first time and not long after i joined i was rang back immediately by the flight ops director and was told i had the next tow weeks roster wiped clean and if i needed more just ring back. A few weeks ago and again in the !!!! with one of my children in an accident, i again had my roster replaced with holiday this time.

From what others who have experienced other airline regimes have told me, they still are a friendly airline to work for.

Is it true that Manchester BMI baby captains will be transferred to J2, ahead of J2 F/O's who are due for upgrade?

I hope so.

Ex military....the magic word
 

Sorry jpboy, but the reason why you're experience with jet2 seems so different is because you're ex military. This puts you in RLs little club from the off with all the added benefits of leapfrogging command, choosing your base, training positions etc. Oh, and just how many civilian joiners compared to ex mil do you think were offered 100% contracts last year?

What's that about baby guys an MAN. Has jet2 taken over baby there, or are some guys just leaving baby to join jet2? Sorry if I have missed something obvious.

Has anyone had any calls from Jet2 recently?

jet1234

I think there were 16 of us recruited at roughly the same time (based on attendance at the CRM cse) of which 2 were ex-mil. If the rumours are correct 1 individual was let go at the end of their summer contract, all the rest were offered 100% contracts.

Basing as an FO was the one which appeared on my contract and as a Capt was decided by date of completion of command cse.

I can only call it based on my experience and the treatment I have witnessed handed out to colleagues from all backgrounds. As with the RAF and my previous employer I know of cases where the airline could have done much better but that is very different from an "appalling outfit that has an in-bred obsession with screwing flight crews".

Good luck to all those thinking of applying.

ex military....the chosen ones
 

As in all walks of life those in positions of privilege always believe it to be a level playing field.

First time I've ever been thought of as privileged, my Old Man will be turning in his grave!

Many will read this forum to get a feel for the Company. I posted because I believe some of the comments were harsh and have answered specific criticisms with facts. If those facts don't match your mental model, so be it.

To avoid thread creep shall I wrap up by saying;

Derestrtictor, it is sad that your memories of the Company are so bitter, I hope you are in a happier place now.

jet1234, as in all walks of life perceptions differ with the individual which is why I tried to stick to the facts. All the best for the future.

Most of all good luck to all those thinking of applying.

Some of the comments that are posted on here about Jet2 are absolute drivel and tosh. If you are thinking of joining the company for goodness sakes do not listen to some of the bitter and twisted comments. Come to a pilot a recruitment day where you will hear the truth, no gilded lilly. I know as i have been to a couple. They will have F/O's and Captains from the line there for you to quiz. You will here comments starting with "Well its not perfect .....", there is no point in Jet 2 management telling you it is better than it is as that just leads to disappointment.

Some facts my understanding is that all F/O's on 70% contracts have so far had 100% percent contracts discussed with them by HR. The company is recruiting ! There is a healthy mix of military,Ab initio, Turbo Prop and current jet experience. The military do not get a choice of base, quick commands etc etc etc. If someone who has been a fast jet instructor joins us and sits in the right seat for 12-18 months to learn a new trade and has the sim check results and close to 3500-4000 hours and makes the grade on command assessment why shouldn't they get a command ?
From what i have seen all the militray types that have joined us in the last round have the right attitude, they are fitting in well and they know the score ie work hard, keep your head down, get the sim check results and a command will be sooner rather than later. The same set of criteria that applies to the turbo prop commands that join us in the RHS.

Now as for the future, its looking very exciting there is a lot of varied flying on the horizon. Yes this is pro Jet 2 as personally i enjoy working there and its the most balanced and varied airline flying i have ever had.

So do you listen to the Doom mongers and the ones on here who will tell you that you are being underpaid etc or do you come along to a recruitment day, listen to whats said to you ? Come and talk to the line pilots and make your own mind up. You may never be a millionaire working for Jet2 but it will never be dull and opportunities will come up to advance in other areas i reckon faster than any other airline. It depends what you want ? Number 600 on a seniority list waiting your turn or a Job in an expanding growing airline !!

Yes that is a positive post. Yes it will be attacked and picked apart by some. But all i say is make your own mind up and come along and have a look you may well be surprised !!!!

Captainkingkong, thank you for your balanced and informative post. As an experienced (ish!) F/O and Jet2 prospective I appreciate the information. As for 'tomuchwork' - please keep your ramblings to yourself, your post contains no facts whatsoever and even 'rumour' is thin on the ground.

Can anyone comment (capt or f/o) on current working arrangements, hours rostered, days off....just to get an up to date idea of the work/life balance one might expect. Info on take home pay would be appreciated too. Thanks!

Bountyhunter.

It really varies from base to base to be honest. Some bases are small but have a higher workload, but on average i personally fly around 550 hours per year. I take home between £2600 and £3100. But i contribute £250 per month to the pension, so things will vary.

Friendly people, and pilot management you can have open honest conversation with.

Show up on time, stick to the SOPS.......:ok:

Tonker I presume that is an FO`s take home pay roughly...Have you any idea at a rough Captains take home pay at the end of the month ?

Thanks in advance

Bla,

It's approx. £4000 - varies Month on Month with the roster. Typically high season £4400, low season £3800.

I mirror some comments here, Jet2 is what it is - A Low Cost Airline. They are exanding and learning quickly. I say learning as there are many new people bringing experience and new ideas. We are several things all in one, a Scedule Low Cost, a Charter, a Freight carrier - a reactionary Airline.

Our boss has steered us through pretty much the worst recession in modern history - and we're not out of it! yet we, Jet2 are expanding and recruiting, so something must me working for us!!!

Exciting time ahead here at Jet2, not the best payers in the world, not the best T&C's either, nethertheless, it's an airline where you can realise time to command relatively quickly, so if you live near any of our bases and want to progress your carreer, Jet2 is an OPTION!

Hope that helps:ok:

Hi Cat1 thanks for answering my query

Thanks for the replies! Just to clarify tonker, that is actual net pay, in your pocket at the end of the day. I just wanted to double check as it's make or break for me! Thanks again.

Yes take home.

I don't know why i don't just have it payed straight into B&O's coffers:ouch:

For some Jet2 is an airline of choice. Being from oop north, I would be happy to work for them for as long as they needed me, if only I could get them interested. The lifestyle and basing would be perfect for me, and enable me to stay in the area close to family and friends. They might not be the best in terms of pay, but there are worse out there, and the people you work with seem to be a great bunch. A friend of mine has worked for them for several years and seems very happy with his lot.

Do they factor turbo-prop hours for command applications

Does anyone know how Jet2's training department operate. Where are the sims located and do they use SFI's or not? Just interested really.

OAA sims at Woodford for the 733 and 752, the 738 at Gatwick. OAA use a variety of instructors.

Thanks aircrew!

Sim locations as described but believe the intention is to use Jet2 instructors for the trg whenever possible.

Can someone PM me the Jet2 FO salary please? PPJN is quite out of date.

Cheers.

FO Salary...
 

Mungo Man:

Perhaps try looking back just one page where Tonker quotes what he earns...

Thanks mate, that's really helpful. I do have eyes you know. I am asking for the gross salary, not one persons vague take home pay after pension and tax. The basic salary is very important because it affects mortgages. Flight pay is not relevant for such things hence take home pay is not what I was asking for.

FO Basic £42,932.13 (100%), £30,052.49 (70%).

I've trawled through the pages and searched the thread about the TR.

From what I gather the TR is around 20k at Jet2. Is this still currently the situation? Plus is it still required upfront and not taken back via salary over a bonded period?

There is loads of chatter on here about T&Cs and where sim checks etc take place but has anyone actually received a call from Jet2 recently inviting them for an interview etc?
