Just out of interest, what is the formula for factorising?

For example if someone had turboprop hours.

Many thanks.

Thats why doctors have stopped working extra hours and I went part time!

To the OP,

Have you considered freighter flying?

West Atlantic are a fantastic little company, with a BFS presence, and they fly a 7 on, 7 off roster. 737-300 and -400 freighters, carrying ULDs with -800 freighters coming on line. They work for Royal Mail, DHL and FED Ex.
.

also due to annual and lifetime pensions allowances.

Boomers have a lot to answer for, with 8% of GDP going on the state pension.

Please enlighten us as to how ‘boomers have a lot to answer for’ when they have contributed tax and NI for a career lifetime generally 35 years or so in order to receive the worst state pension in Europe. Utter unmitigated bollox.

Back to the point: Jet2 is an expanding and highly successful airline. They have not threatened or actually made employees redundant to my knowledge and in my experience are a refreshing change to the usual airline profile. They have recently shared out some of their profit to staff. All good in my view.

At least you’re not bitter about it.

This thread is about Jet2. Nobody is interested in your misinformed drivel.

facts please?

Fact 1, The title of a thread dictates what the discussion on that particular thread concerns.
Fact 2, Thread creep occurs when a particular thread veers in a direction that the original creator of the thread didn’t intend.
Fact 3, Thread creep often starts when a particular poster has a bee in their bonnet about a particular subject and is determined to make their point even no one is interested.

Helpful?

Guys I’d just like to bump larryboys questions please.

also any thoughts on whether ALC is safe post brexit assuming a hard brexit happens

I’m pretty sure it’s paid in Euros, with local taxes applicable. If you are a U.K. expat that there is something called Beckham Tax I believe that memes the tax rate very preferential.

I cant see the ALC base being under threat post Brexit, the only flights operated from there are to the U.K.

“ Pending a final descision” doesn’t sound like you have passed everytheng then? J2 did alot of recruitment assessment days this year, and are still recruiting, for all seats, both none & rated. Wether they need so many who knows.
Looks like its going to be a rather large pool thats filling rapidly.

Passing the assessment day is the minimum requirement. Flight ops management then asses the applicants in order of suitability. Based on rated/ none rated, current experience , uk licence , currency and training costs.

If you manage to tick all these boxes, then it’s usually a month or so to be offered a course. Otherwise it depends on who has joined the pool afterwards.
Some guys never get an answer, despite having passed the assessment day and met the benchmark requirements.

Dont forget, the guys n gals doing the assessment are not the ones who make the decisions . Its still the same old HR , and ultimately the most cost effective candidate will usually be successful.

Its normal companies prioratise those newapplicants. If you are still in the hold pool after more than 6 months, I feel you won’t be selected. The pool is for those who are not selected after interview

[QUOTE=strobelighton;10583449]Ignore the above.


So if the pool is such a great place to be, why would Jet2’s fwd thinking regds the failure thomas cook make the slightest bit of difference? It will.

You imply that once the assesments are passed, a job offer will follow.
NOT true! The J2 pool is a collection of applicants that have passed the and reached minimum level set by J2. Thats it.
Many pass their assesment days, but never start. Why? Well because another candidate is more suitable, wether rated, chooses the base that’s recruiting, or simply scored higher in the assesment.

I never understand why companies feel they want to attract those who are only showing interest in their company simply because they are unemployed. The guys in a pool have chosen to join that airline, not because they have limited options, but because they want to work there.and are prepared to leave current employment to join their next career step.

How many TC guys applied to J2 a year or two ago? How many ridiculed the multi sector J2 roster, while they jetted off to the caribbean? “Were off on holiday, cant believe you are doing those crazy summer rosters, with no layovers. or lays “

Ps Ive no idea what a troll is .

In 2016 I posted this re Thomas Cook.

Unless you are a low hour wannabe , it would be a brave move to join TC with the likelihood of significant downward corrections in the european leisure travel business. Read contraction.

Nobody said it was 'great'... Logically it would make the difference because the goalposts have moved with regards to fleet size, bases, passenger numbers in different areas, future plans....and subsequently how many pilots they need and where. A lot to think about suddenly, so sifting through CVs might be put on the back burner...

I never implied a job offer would follow, However your post suggests that any people in the holding pool have somehow probably been 'passed over', which is simply and factually not the case, if it meant one had failed in some way they simply wouldn't go to the trouble to leave a candidate 'hanging on'... what would be the point in that for anyone involved?

Without knowing the individuals involved, I'm not sure it is an accurate statement to make a sweeping generalisation about someone's employment prospects or whether they have been successful at selection based on a few sentences on pprune where they are ultimately seeking reassurance, and haven't posted anything to suggest otherwise.

The game is hard and uncertain enough without people needlessly fanning the flames of doubt.


I suppose companies show interest as they have the pick of a large group of experienced pilots, available to start with very little notice, which makes life easy from a planning point of view... but I'm sure they'll have to go through the selection just like everybody else... and maybe end up in a hold pool whilst they coordinate who is going to fit where? Or does everyone they interview just start immediately the day after?


whilst you are on a roll.... I don't suppose you have the winning numbers for this weeks lottery? :}
