Did they give you a reason for rejecting you?

No reason, just a polite letter saying, sorry we not going further.

NR,

If you don't mind me asking, what hours experience do you have?

Thanks.

Hello, I ve applied to jet2 as well but not reply. I would appreciate any help or advise from anyone. My profile, 25 years, atpl frozen, 1060 tt and 890 hours jet in crj 200 as fo, any help?

Is it true the low hours recruitment is now finished?

I think it is unfortunately :(

ah well next time may'be.

What information do you have to substantiate your claim that low hour recruitment has stopped?

Spannatime: Afriad so....... Only 16 places for Low Cost guys at present. This may change again come spring.

May I politely ask how do you know your result from the compass testing and interview if your letter gave regrets but no reason? My understanding is that the Company do not give feedback.

I wouldn't normally press and I don't mean to rub salt in a wound but wish to stop further pointless calls to a busy HR Dept from those who might read your post and think feedback is being offered.

Best of luck for the future

757 Speedbrakes,
Can you advise where u got this information? The recruitment page is still allowing people to apply for the low hours positions and also I was informed by one of the Captains in the recruitment team that there were 20 positions for Low Hours non TR'd guys.

Thanks

Have any high houred FO's been contacted yet? I have over 3000 hours on type and i'm mulling a tripback to the north but I don't like to keep calling Casey because i'm sure i'll piss him off :E

Burger81: From the horses mouth!!

Unfortunately limit is placed by CAA but might be further low houred recruitment in the new year, hence why the application may still be open so all not lost! Best of luck!!

757 Speedbrakes, thanks for the reply. Did u manage by any chance to get info on the mix of integrated and modular guys taken on, or was it all OAA cadets again?

Thanks

Good mix of both Integrated and Modular.

Keep trying gents, it is worth it.

Anyone over the age of 30 taken on from the low hours brigade?

Yes, I know of one mid thirties and have heard that he wasnt the youngest.

Bond and utter frustration
 

Got a call from Jet2 HR last week giving me the contact number to bond software to chase down the issue. I originally applied on the 28th August and they have finally confirmed Jet2 have received the application after being fobbed off on the telephone by bond numerous times and told to email, the issue being the email not being received properly. I was told by HR they are looking at the type rated guys the middle of this month.

This whole recruitment drive seems to have been a big anticlimax.

Loads of people seem to have struggled with the online application system.

Then, others like me have not heard anything at all since applying. At least a "thanks but no thanks" would have been nice.

Be patient....

Two years ago a friend applied at this time with TR 757/767 and flying hours to meet their requirements. He did not hear anything at all until the following January, when he was invited to interview. Over three months waiting time. He got the job and has now been with them for the last 18 months with no regrets and enjoying his flying......

Good luck to all who are waiting...

I've heard nothing since applying over a month ago - 4000TT (3000 jet) but I know a guy who got a phone call less than 24 hours after applying last week...

Me too, I have 3500 TT including 3000 Jet and I applied back in April!

Maybe I'm the only one but I find JET2 online application pretty complicated to fill...

Maybe I've failed at the first hurdle, but I can't even find the applications website:}
Anybody care to point me in the right direction please?

Anyone with insider knowledge?
 

The latest Flightjobs advert is for type-rated pilots. Jet2 seem to interview ab-initio, then experienced non-TR then TR in that order. Does this mean they have found enough experienced non-TR people?

I have >3000hrs total, with 2000hrs as FO on twin turboprop. Application completed end of August, application email acknowledgement received but not a sniff of an interview :}

Does anyone know how much notice Jet2 give prior to interview and if successful, the lead time prior to joining?

I had 5 days notice prior to interview, followed by 4 days notice for sim. Its roughly 4-5 weeks later you start the TR. It's all very quick!

Many thanks Tsym, that's a great help.

It's all gone a bit quiet on here, I've heard that the low hours guys have been offered places on courses but have any of the experienced (non type rated) guys heard anything? What's the terms for those that fall into that category? Rumour is £23000 up front for low hours guys on 100% contract but can't imagine a massive uptake from the experienced guys with those prices so what's on offer? Or is it just take it or leave it?

Nothing here here. Anyone else in the commercial experienced / non-rated category heard anything? What's the ideology behind taking 200 hour pilots in preference to guys with some commercial exposure?

Good luck to all those who've got the nod :ok:

2500TT / non-rated

Are any DEC people getting calls?
Don't want to piss them off by phoning too often, but keep getting told to update c.v. for recruitment in july, aug, sept etc.

Not a dickybird - DEC non-type rated applicant:sad:.

Is there any info available regarding pay €€€£££?

They're not taking 200 hour FO's in preference to experienced people, they're aiming for a mixture of low houred and experienced plus some ex-military. And I think they have an agreement with Oxford to take a few of their guys each year. I hear from the DFO that those requiring a type rating will be bonded for it and the offers are all 100% unless a winter off contract is requested - which is good news if true. Not sure if the bonding instead of up-front payment for the type rating applies to everybody or just experienced guys.

Penworth, since you seem to have access to very reliable information (DFO...) do you mind to clarify once for good what Jet2 HR mean for experienced-non TR, low-hour, etc.etc?

It's clear to me that if you have a B737 TR you are almost what they are looking for, take or leave the a/c variant. But where do they make the cut between an experienced-no TR (i.e. A320 guys vs. DHC8 TP vs. anyone with > 1500TT, 1000 light TP, commercial experience...etc,etc) and a low-hrs? No need to state what a 200TT is, though.

Best luck to everyone.

I applied late July/early August, was called a week later, assessment day early September, offer in late Sept. DEC, 5000+, Non-TR, ex military. Jobs are being offered to folk but I guess there are just a lot of names in the hat and it's taking a while to work through them all.

Papazulu,

From the jobs section of the Jet2 website the requirements are



Anything less than this counts as 'low houred' even if you have 10000 hours instructional on a C-150. The low hours refer to experience on medium turboprop or jet aircraft.


Regards

As an organisation we are trying to keep a level of balance in the recruitment, inexperienced pilots will not be in the frame for a command as swiftly as an ex turbo prop pilot or a service pilot. They will however take all the line training sectors we have over the winter so we start them first and the more experienced people later; that at least is the theory:ok:
