Job description

Jet2.com has been named as a Which? Recommended Provider for 2024, becoming the only UK airline to be given this prestigious status once again. Our track record of achieving recognition from the consumer champion means that we are named as a Which? Recommended Provider in every single category possible.

With sustained growth and consistent delivery of an award-winning product, now is a great time to join Jet2.com as a Non Type Rated Captain!

Jet2.com is proud to offer highly competitive Pilot pay and benefits – our Pilots have been awarded several pay rises which, when compounded from 2022, equate to over 24% salary increase. We also nurture the aspirations of our Pilots through swift, merit-based career progression opportunities. Frequent opportunities are available to take on additional roles in Training, Safety, Technical areas, and people management - your application is decided on suitability and not seniority.

We believe that a successful career should be complemented by a fulfilling lifestyle. We have a great working partnership across Flight Operations, with dedicated management in each base, complemented by a proactive Crew Development team working to bring you the lifestyle and benefits you need. We strive to make continuous improvements to Pilot lifestyle and value the input of all our Flight Deck Colleagues – indeed over 95% contributed to our most recent lifestyle survey.

Successful candidates will possess a valid UK issued Pilots Licence with minimum ELP Level 5 (you can gain and hold a UK license concurrently if outside the UK - please see our careers website for guidance if you have an EASA or alternative Licence) and current Class One Medical with a minimum of 6 months validity at the start date.
