Jet2 pay rises
Pros and cons
1. How financially viable is the company
2. where do I want to live
3. pay and Ts Cs
4. command opportunities and base transfer policy
5. hand flying policy?
I’m glad someone has politely answered this but it has made me chuckle!

Thanks to excrab and fieldinsight. That's all I was after, wasn't asking for an ops manual extract- sorry if it was unclear.
And I'm not worried about it or using it as a deal-breaker.... but it is nice to know the culture on this. Cheers!

Go figure fingerboard warrior. Take out location for the pilots willing to sacrifice T&Cs to be were they want and your left with the simple fact easyjet is a 100x better employer for Pilots than Jet2 in just about every aspect
Yes, you would have to be pretty much certifiable to leave easy for j2, the latter reportedly never having quite purged their deep-rooted distaste for their own pilot force at the senior (non pilot) levels.

Interesting viewpoint MSN. As a LHS transferee from Ezy to J2, I don’t have any regrets. It’s nicer not being in a toxic environment for one. I was only at easy for 20 years so you can take my viewpoint or leave it.

True enough. I have gotten to know a few airlines over the years (and j2 from old friends I knew from over the fence at channel express) and I would put easyJet at the better end of the scale, albeit not a very high bar.
I do wonder if the pay rises arms race fuels resentment at the moment. But that's supply and demand, coupled with QoL/company culture push/pull factors.

MSN’s views on easyJet are purely a personal perspective. As someone switching from ezy to J2 I would say there’s pros and cons to both but it’s purely what you want out of life and job. I certainly wouldn’t class easyJet as better than Jet2, they’re just different. I hear all the time that jet2 aren’t BALPA recognised- so what? Do easyJet “roster protections” protect your rosters? Do Balpa sort pay rises out in a manner that unities the union? Horses for courses but im glad im moving away from the vitriol and toxicity of Easyjets culture and to an airline that gives a fcuk to its pilots and passengers. I’m not saying jet2 is better than easyJet, I just feel it’s a better suited job for me. 2 sector days, quiet winters, midlands base. Lovely.
