How do you know about this? Why would Jet2 let them get as far as Sim or even job offer before making them re-complete these tests. It seems crazyyyyy

I applied mid July and am still showing as application received with an late updated date of mid September. Has anyone else who applied round that date heard anything?

Same here, applied in July and it still shows application received updated mid September!!!

Any jet2 crew or recent interviewees willing to shed some light on interview, any information via PM would be much appreciated!

Any one with any interview format? Have assessment day for DEC soon.

Good luck everyone

From the horse's mouth:

They still have a lot of applications to sift through (over 3000).

I got the impression that:

A) they haven't finished doing telephone interviews
B) more people will be called for selection (not sure if that's experience/non TR, ex mil, inexperienced etc)
C) having experience on a type over 10 tonnes will count in your favour.

I know for certain that *most* people at recent selection days have had experience on stuff over around 7 tonnes.

Asking around there have been a few 737 jobs offered but 75 people and majority of others for 73 still waiting to hear as far as I can gather.

Interviews and assessments ongoing. No news would appear to be good news, though with shortage of TR 75 people on the market I thought J2 might be keener to secure people rather than let the process drift along.

I know of someone called with a job offer soon after the sim. I don't want to worry folk but maybe no news is bad news.

Yup, and some folk waited for over a month to hear that they were being offered a post. So maybe no news is good news...

There have been over 4000 applications for about 100 jobs. That's a lot of applications to sift and these things take time. Yes everyone wants an immediate answer but the company are ensuring that everyone that applied is getting a fair shot at it and, more importantly, the company is getting the people they want.

Some people have been waiting over 6 weeks to hear now. No news is definitely good news and that comes directly from the horses mouth. The standard has obviously been very high and unsuccessful applicants are finding out very quickly..ie day after interview/sim..ect.

Jet 2 only want the best ! Good luck to you all , keep that faith and positivity going !

:ok:

A recent update stated that around 25% of the required pilots have been recruited, with sim checks well underway to find the rest.

Hi Guys I've been given an offer by Jet2 to come and join them after being successful in their recruitment process. I'm a 737 Rated FO.

Just before I make my final decision, I'm not a UK national so getting home will be a little more restrictive. I just want anyone here to share their views on what they know about the company and what it's like to work for.

If you need any
Info on the selection process, just ask!

Many thanks guys.

Congratulations mate! :D

I have worked for Jet2 in ground operations since April and can say I have enjoyed every minute of it!

My fellow peers and managers are very understanding and will try to accomodate your requests if they see your a motivated and passionate individual working towards the companies success. I am waiting to hear if I have got one of the Second officer positions and am really excited at the prospect of working for the company in the flight deck!

Aviation shares many Maritime terms, but that's not one of them. :)

Thanks, thats mobile predictive text for you!

What is the offered start date? I have a sim coming up

Busy summers, quieter winters. Only once worked anywhere near maximum hours per month this summer. Plenty of standbys on a roster. Not so helpful if you live away from home. You get three RDOs per month, plus leave (which is capped in summer period to 7 days). You can roster protect a couple of duties per month too.

Rostering is random roster, with 5-6 days in a row quite often. Tactical use of leave days and RDO can give a semblance of lifestyle. Pilot management is fairly good. If you fly the company way, adhere to SOPs and stability criteria, you won't have any problems.

Are you contracting via Zenon or permanent contract?

Hi there,

Could you possibly confirm if you know if the assessments for crew are ongoing? Lots of conflict of information on this site (as usual).

Thanks.

Jimmy, yes they are.

To clarify on FWs post it's 7 days leave in the peak period of summer. I managed to use half my leave in the summer period this year and last.

to further clarify, this can be increased by the company. This year we were able to request 9 days in the peak period. The minimum is 7.

Also forgot to mention that whilst Balpa is recognised by the company, it is fought at every turn, in a relationship which isn't very harmonious!
