Addtional notes: Contract highly depending on whether you are ex RAF pilot or not. Expect 75% contract (work 100% peak summer, 50% winter, salary 75% over calendar months) until 1 year post FLC plus time to next summer peak = 17-20 months on 75% salary unless you are ex RAF, in which case you get 100% straight away. Bonding for NTR = 40k over three years post FLC, whereby 40k start deducting from 12 months post FLC, means if you leave within first 18 months you owe 40k, after 3.5 years plus bond is zero.

Recruitment Process
last update
Direct entry FO - Online application, follow their form very self explanatory. Within a few days email inviting you to book both an assessment day - at Leeds Holiday House - and a simulator assessment either Bradford (737) or Cheadle (A321). Also sent AON online testing. The psychometric questionnaire is used to generate questions for your interview. Assesment day - very relaxed environment everyone is very welcoming and friendly. No group exercise. You are taken upstairs and introduced to the pilots who will be interviewing you and just a 15-20 min informal relaxed chat with everyone with a cuppa. 1-1 interview you and 2 pilots - they are very relaxed and help you feel at ease. However pre study is definelty required to know more about the business and especially the Jet2 values. Sim assessment - again very relaxed environment. 2 captains, one in the back one in the left seat. Simple SID tracking needles climb decent speed up slow down, raw data ILS and then g/a. They are looking for self analysis and self improvement through the session - not perfection., 2/Nov/25
